I finally found some time to use the grill today. I gave it a quick cleaning but didn't pay too much attention to the insides as i knew I'd be getting it dirty again. I'm still trying to track down some bar keepers friend for the stainless. I replaced the missing handle with the handle from a donor lid that came with the grill and picked up some hardware to reattach the lid bale. I borrowed the ash can from my other performer and started cooking.

I used a nearly full chimney of charcoal spread into two baskets and tossed a small chunk of hickory to get things going.

I made Doritos meatloaf which my son in particular likes.

Grilled indirect for about 45 minutes and then direct for about 5.

Pulled and rested.

And rested. I should've rotated halfway through cooking or given a few more minutes.
I still need to get a ash bucket for this guy, an end cap for one of the ends, and some bale rollers. I haven't decided if I'll look into getting a 5lb tank or not. Still happy with the $10 spent. Sorry the last photos are upside down. I blame the iPad.
