Curent grill passed away. Future SNS owner

[Nixican]

Today my current grill gave up the ghost. I have rewelded the charcoal tray a couple times and today it completely broke. Ive used this grill for almost 20 years and it has served me well. I think Ill be jumping on the 10% off sale at SNS for the deluxe version. Looking forward to welcoming this new member into my family.

[Panhead John]

Good call! I’ve got the SNS and love it, great product!

What he said.

RIP, I hate losing a grill that has given years of service but sometimes you can only repair so much before deciding that you just have to give it up.

You will not regret the SnS grill. If it is in your means though, consider the SnS Deluxe Kamado - you can use it as a grill and as a true kamado, very versatile.

20 years.....also, the grill looks like it is about to turn to ash if I just look at it!

[Nixican]

HAHA. Yah, It has some serious "patina"

[Jessterr]

She gave you her all, that’s for sure! Like losing a family member (well, not quite, but anyway…), best of success on your new purchase-to-be. BTW, just out of curiosity, what make of grill is that, I don’t recall having seen one quite like it before. Also, can’t really tell the dimensions from the pics but it does appear to have a pretty healthy sized cooking surface, are you confident the SNS will provide sufficient cooking space if you’re used to having something larger?

Reminds me of an older Oklahoma Joe model.

Bade says it is a "BBQ Grill Ware" I remember buying it when I didnt know anything about grilling but I knew I wanted charcoal and I wanted to cook whole racks of ribs. The cook surface is about 20x30. I know that the SNS is smaller, but I think it should be fine for my purposes. I smoke on a Pit Barrel with Fireboard control and I also have a Blackstone 36" griddle for tacos and breakfast. I want the charcoal grill for steaks and chicken, mainly.

[Jessterr]

Awesome, let ‘er roll! Congrats on the SNS.

I get it my kamado is on life support, every time I open the lid some thing falls off

[Jim White]

At this point, as long as it's part of the equipment falling off and not part of me, I figure it's all good.

[Jim White]

Definitely time to thank that one for its service and move on.

Wow, 20 years on a grill is a testament to that grill (and your welding abilities).

FYI, I add food grade mineral oil to the outside of all my grills (except the kettle), it really helps the exterior.

[Jessterr]

Redwng The mineral oil idea is interesting. What types of grills / surfaces do you use it on? I have a Good One Open range that I’ve been using canola oil on, wondering now if the mineral oil might be a better option?

A gallant old warrior who served you well.

[Finster]

Looking at her, I’d say she doesn’t owe you a thing

[barelfly]

20 years! That’s a lot of great cooks and special memories!

[RonB]

Have you checked with the manufacturer to see if it's still under warranty?

[Nixican]

hahah

[Donw]

Good choice on the replacement.

[LA Pork Butt]

It looks ready for a trip to the grill graveyard!

[DaveD]

Yep, time to hang that one up. You'll love the SnS kettle! Super versatile, very well designed and built. Good luck!
