Grill Refurb - Pt 3 - I am a Genius

IMG_4456-Blog-420x315
The biggest event happening around here this year is my decision to refurbish, rather than replace my current gas grill. While the main driving force behind repair vs. replace was economic realities, it turns out that without really knowing it I made an even smarter decision than I thought. I’ve already written two blogs on the actual refurbishing operation. This blog will focus on some realizations I have come to since making the repairs. It turns out I may have been a lot smarter than I knew at the time. Read More...

Grill Refurb Part 2-The Rust of the Story

IMG_0519-Blog-420x315
Perhaps I should have taken the way the replacement burners were delayed three times and were finally delivered, as a sign that this part of my grill refurb operation might not run as smoothly as the rest of it had. The burners were out of stock and I had indeed received 3 different delivery dates for them, each 3 weeks later than the previous notice. When they finally did ship I breathed a sigh of relief that at least they weren’t discontinued. I’d gotten a range of arrival dates where they shipped via UPS ground. The day they actually arrived we had some very bad thunderstorms roll through with torrential rains. Knowing that the UPS driver always left packages at my front door, I’d checked the front steps several times that day and there was no package. Then my wife arrived home from work and asked if I had ordered something, because there was a very wet box on the SIDE stairs. I sighed and decided a little water wasn’t going to hurt anything. But perhaps this was a warning sign from the BBQ gods. Read More...

No sooner had I posted my blog entry Reinvigorating My Grill and the doorbell rang & I found all button on of the parts for my grill refurb had arrived - early as a matter of fact. That was the good news. The bad news was the 6 burners, which are buried the deepest inside the grill, are backorder for about 1 month. After thinking about it for a while I decided to go ahead and install theses parts. Read More...

Reinvigorating My Grill

IMG_4457-Blog-420x200
My gas grill will be 7 years old come this fall and needs some work. My original plan was to replace it with a shiny new Weber model, but now I am going to fix my existing grill. While my final decision was driven as much by economic reality as any other reason, now that I have chosen I am actually quite happy with my choice. This blog will describe some of my decision making process. Read More...
