    Unboxing new grills

    Click image for larger version  Name:	1C9BC47F-91C8-4804-85C3-406BFF5CF562.jpeg Views:	1 Size:	2.34 MB ID:	682665 I bought 8 new kettle grills today. The photo shows unboxing the first one. Im going to use them for (level 1) bbq classes (yes, there will be advanced classes too). I checked several suppliers (Weber, Rösle, Napoleon). But in the end I went with this no-name brand. It costs a third of the others, and I can fit an SnS in each. It’s basically a Weber clone. If they last 2 years I’m happy.

    It’s gonna be fun cranking out some awesome Q on these cheap grills, to show the students (to quote Cesar Milan): "it’s not which tools you use, but how you use them" that matters.

    Good times ahead! Will report back with more photos soon.

    Gonna give the first one a few trial cooks at home first.

    It sounds like a lot of fun

    Good luck!

      Is it possible that I could slid in Level 0 to hone my skills for Level 1 ??? Do I get to take my kettle home with me at the end of the lesson??

        This is a super cool idea Henrik . I remember not long ago when you got the SNSs. I’m guessing these are the cookers to house said SNSs? ......Wonder what it would cost to fly to Sweden for a class? 🤔🤔🤔

          You are correct, sir! Well, if you do decide to fly over, we'll do a one-on-one special, for free. Beers included :-)

        I realize it was a bit unfair to post just one picture of the grill, in the box. So, here goes:

          So, overall it 'feels' good. There are a few minor differences compared to the Weber:

          1. the grates doesn't flip open to replenish fuel (for the SnS). No biggie, I could either buy a replacement, or leave it as is.
          2. The ash catcher is smaller. No big deal either, I can empty it after every cook should I have to.
          3. No ash wipers. Instead there's a concave sheet metal 'disc' to catch ashes and avoid clogging the bottom vent. We'll see how it works.

          We'll see how it performs when I fire it up.

            Henrik you can buy the ash wipers on Weber's website for around $17us do you think that these can be modded to accept the use of them?

            Good question, probably, but I think I can do without them.

          Weber clone indeed! Nice score!

              No ash wipers, I see...I do like their heat diffuser plate, though.

              Those ought to be great learnin tools, fer any cook!

                Smart man! Didn't think of that. Yep, they're missing. Also, I noticed that the lid doesn't provide a snug fit. But I'm gonna line the edge with some felt gasket anyway (for the Kamado Joe/Big Green Egg).

              Ta heck with the grill ... I want to know more about your wood stove. The tile work is absolutely lovely!

                Yes, it has been there since 1910. It is really good when it’s cold outside. And it looks nice too. We had one more, but previous owners got rid of it :-(

                That's unfortunate, Henrik, but I'm glad you get to enjoy the one you do have. I heat the main floor of my home with a wood stove and I enjoy that very much.
