This is an excerpt from my intro post:

I know....The yard's small....
Maybe I could fill up the yard & get on the roof for the pix
![Huh ???](https://weberkettleclub.com/forums/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
There's 22 of 'em... some broke down & some still in the box new...."
So that's what I did.....pulled them all out from everywhere & got on the roof......

Then I fixed the handle on the Sequoia & cooked something.....

But first I noticed the wood slat that holds the ash pan ring isn't aligned with the bottom vents so I fixed that as burning the kettle to the ground is not an option...

Went rummaging around for a charcoal grate as the one that came with it may or may not be galvanized...

Every kettle I opened had some batch of accessories inside that I didn't want to move & after 5 tries, got a grate....also used the Original cooking grate in
@Craig 's honor......
Round One....tri-tip & taters.....

Hard to see, but on the Black 18.5" on the right..... up by the tree, there's a blemish on the bowl.....it's a hummingbird sitting on the clotheswire listening to the sound of the deep fry.....it was loud ........

Weirdest Thermapen readings ever....90 in one spot, 224 in another, 145 in a 3rd....

Tremendous cookups by everyone on all the days.....got a chance to look thru in about 3 or 4 different sittings & wow.....what a great bunch of cooks.....everything from the most simple stuff to the really complex was bang up well executed !!!!
PS:
@Smokin@5588FEET .....just less coals will work......the chain or "snake" method can get you running at a good low heat for a long time.....
Start a question thread with a little info about what you did & what happened in the "Grilling & BBQ Forum" section & we'll get some good answers & descriptions going for you...OK?
