WKC TECHNICAL DATABASE- Needs your help!

[pbe gummi bear]

Hello,

The time has come to compile a real techinical database here at WKC. As you guys know, there is sooooo much good information buried in the forums- but if you are new, it could be overwhelming to find it.

Our vision is to be the go to source on the internet for Weber content. I think that we are there for collecting and restoring, we just need to curate all this great information. The idea at first is to post and INDEX for content within existing threads. If there is enough demand or a compelling reason to do so, we can spin the collective information into ARTICLES, like many great forums and hobby sites out there do. We also want to preserve the credit where it's due to the members that has spent the time sharing their knowledge.

In order to do this, I need your help! Please post the links to all your favorite how to threads, restorations, parts fixings, and DIY here. There is no such things as too much information! Please keep discussion here at a minimum so that we can stay organized.

Cheers,

Gummi Bear
