  1. pay no attention to hatcity- grill on brother!..no offense Ed
  2. Speaking of ridicule, my new unit is now complete- all I need to do is smoke some meat. here's my left arm- i'm tightening bolts with a Craftsman 1/4 inch drive ratchet and a Snap-On 7/16" open end wrench. here's my right arm, tightening bolts- same specs as above Got the grates seasoned and in place Even oiled the outside!
  3. You're exactly right, that's why I didn't glue it back in, I thought it would be useful! These guys, their minds stay in the gutter
  4. Dammit! Why didn't you tell me this the day before yesterday David, I could have heisted a Food Lion shopping cart and saved myself all this ridicule as well as the money !
  5. Rob, I feel like i'm being picked on about my new unit, so now I realize how you feel. Therefore, I will not be picking on you any more... OK, enough of that- so, where does your primary cord work?
  6. You should go to Tractor Supply and git you a grill and cook something for her, it's very rewarding.
  7. I've gotten everyone in the grillin' mode now! Nice unit, whatever works, eh?
  8. I see you went with the optional rottissery attachment instead of the offset firebox. Be careful with all that torque, you might turn your unit over.
  9. These are the best looking Western Stars. I don't like the newer ones where the cabs look like they've been over inflated. Todd had a couple of Low-Maxxes, I think they were called, and they were butt-ugly.
  10. Have to agree about the internet-like the grill I just bought, and digital cameras, I always google things before I buy to see other people's reviews and comments, and just to learn more about it, even if I go to Wal-Mart or somewhere and get it.
  11. This might be better than a Peterbilt, not sure about the pecker thing-there's a pony just up the road here that I do envy a bit.
  12. That offset firebox is what sold me on this grill, should work great for boston butts, and ribs. I'll have to season the grates before I use it, and they even reccomend coating the entire grill with oil so i'll probably do that too. I never had a nice big "store bought" grill before, except for the little small ones so i'll try to take good care of it. In fact, I might not even ever use it. I told Jo I was gonna throw the coffee table out and keep it in the living room.
  13. Perhaps I just assembled it wrong-i'll look at the picture again. Besides, it was not $150- it was $149.99
  14. I went back and read the instructions, came out a little different this time... easy assembly? my ass! there was 9,000 parts to this thing! had a defect too- ...knot fell out, leaving a knot hole! lookin' like a grill now,eh? The grates are cast iron so I have to season them before I cook on it.Prolly do that tomorrow- see, it's a buffessional model grill-weighs about 9,000 lbs! Nice unit, everybody's invited when I try it out. Might take a while to get used to it, 'cause ya gotta know your equipment for good barbecuing. Now I can throw my old barrel grill away-all the antifreeze flavor had burned out of it anyway.
  15. Naw, that's on purpose, Jo likes her steak so rare a good vet could get it back on it's feets, I like mine well done.
  16. I'm about as happy as Rob would be if "Momma" went out and bought him a R-model Mack with a V8 in it. For once I got a good deal! I looked at this grill a couple of weeks ago at Tractor Supply, but was too cheap to actually buy it for $180. Then I came home and looked at it online and it was $40 more than Tractor Supply's price, and I wished i'd bought it, so today I decided to go get it. Best part was, it was $30 cheaper today than it was then- usually anything I buy goes on sale the next day. Now all I gotta do is put it together-i'm gonna throw away the instructions first and just use my vast knowledge of grills that's in my head. Couldn't be too hard... 6 hours later... hmmmm...doesn't look like the picture on the box, but it works great!
  17. Hmmm...could be a bidness opportunity here. I could set Jo up in the blasting bidness and she could make a little money on the side blasting stuff while i'm trucking around. Probably wouldn't take off though, she knows nothing about splosives.
  18. Hey check this out Greg, I just googled buckshot tires and found this-you probably saw it already, this is the tread I had on the old scout. Only had them on the rear, had 31'' recaps in front, but it stayed off the highway. I just used that in the woods and on old logging roads for fun. Had 2 sets of Super Swampers for the mud bogger but I never put but one set on it at a time. I liked tall skinny tires in the mud, had a set of Q78 Swampers, a 36'' tire, and the others were 12.50-38's. http://www.offroaders.com/reviewbox/showproduct.php?product=746
  19. Time sure flies, doesn't it? It's true, the older you get the faster it goes by. The 4th. of July has come and gone. Seems like just a little while ago it was snowing. I'll take a week off about the first week of August for vacation, then fall will be here before you know it. Now I gotta get over to the store and see if that truck I parked behind it Friday is still there. If it is, and it'll start, i'll go unload in Lynchburg. Someone broke into the store last week, so I don't like leaving it there, but it takes up most of the driveway here and I thought more folks were coming by Sunday for ribs and chicken. I must be off...
  20. party's over,back to that grapefruit diet!
  21. what makes you think I was drinking Natural Light?
  22. Thanks Mark-Drakes Branch is nowhere from here! Here's more pictures- it was raining this morning, so I made a rain coat out of a trash bag-used to keep one of these in the truck. ribs ready to go! some unidentified fat guy...
  23. Wow, what a good day I had today! Cooked lots of ribs and they came out great-4 racks! Plus 5 lbs. of chicken wings, got a ripe tomater in the garden, my son and his wife came over, the next door neighbors came over, just had a great time. Might have some pictures. Yeah,here's some pictures-every thing in the yard's smoking tomato grill ribs-bone test...done!
  24. still, be careful- make sure it's a coil rated hardwood 4x4, don't trust that treated pine! So, that grapefruit diet really works,eh? Momma, after 2 weeks on the grapefruit diet-
