Title: Added one more to my hoard of WSMs
Post by: Walchit on May 13, 2020, 08:33:08 AM
Grabbed this C Code this morning, I'm ISO a C code damper if anyone is parting one out. I almost talked my self out of this onewhen they wanted 100 instead of the 80 I offered,but master enabler @mr. CPHo reminded me it's only 20 bucks lol. So I agreed to the 100,and they said they would take 90. It has its flaws, but I'm pretty happy with it. Somebody bolted a handle on it, and there is a rubber foot bolted to one leg, it also has holes in the other 2 legs where I believe some wheels were attached at some point.

No really I think it's mainly luck of the draw, and a little bit of how often you check the marketplace and craigslist, possibly a dash of out of range wkcers sending links. But really luck,or kettle karma, cause I haven't checked much lately. And I just happened to scroll marketplace 4 hours after this was posted


I tried to edit a wsm on top of that car in the meme, but gave up

 I told her I was gonna sell a couple. She probably didn't believe me this time either.

And the plum is hers, bout to get some maple on it and put it back together. Then hopefully teach her how to use it

My brother in Weberitis... How glad I am that you have shared with us your beautiful collection! I know with the WKC I am never alone as the only guy with several webers rotating on and off my back patio and constantly searching for more!  Seriously - Congrats! I'm sure you'll enjoy tinkering with your new C code!

Weberitis is real! I actually cleaned up the newer one and gave it to my buddy after he spent a day in my crawlspace fixing broken sewer pipes, he also got an 18" kettle and almost 300 worth of meat,charcoal, and wood.

I I hooked him up with a little refinished wood handle

So I ended up tossing a stainless nut and bolt where one was missing on the c code, and tossed it up on the shelf...

Grate pickup @Walchit!  And good on you spreading the kettle karma!

Thanks Bob! Idk if I get any karma on this one though, the dude literally crawled through my family's waste water. But he did seem happy with the stuff I took over. He has been using one of those char-griller gas grill/smoker combos. I gotta get him a 22 kettle and get him cooking indirect. I think he will like the wsm coming from an offset,  but I could be wrong. He's got 13 bags of coal and every kind of smoke wood I could find in town, and a few different types of meat, so hopefully he really enjoys it.

Lol! I've moved a few of them too. If I can get them for 50ish I have a hard time saying no. I think if I had to choose one cooker it would be an 18" wsm.

Nice collection, @Walchit. What's the code on your 1880? Maybe you can pull a vent off of that! lol

@Walchit what is your refinish process?  I've got a few that might be salvageable and this looks phenomenal.

Very light sanding, brown fine point sharpie(like really fine let me see if I can get a link) then I just used mineral oil. I've done some other handles and regretted the more permanent types of finish I used like stain, poly, shou sugi ban. Idk how often you would need to re-apply mineral oil, this was my first try
