Hmmm, looks like you have GAS. (Grill Aquisition Syndrome)

[Mr. Bones]

Mostly, people give 'em to me.
I often refurb 'em, an' pass 'em on to another, to get them started out smokin'.
(Who knew havin' disciples could be so much fun???)

[Brewmaster]

at least you aren't passing gas

[Mr. Bones]

Maybe, maybe not.
But at least I ain't gonna post about it!
Smoke on, Brewmaster !!!

[Mr. Bones]

Sharp-eyed viewers might note a discrepancy in th' amount of smokers in this pic, vs. the last one, above.
That's because today CL provided me with a 2005 18.5" WSM, an' a 1986 22.5 kettle, with accessory hooks, charcoal rail (1), hinged and non-hinged cookin' grates an' even a chimley...
$75 WSM, gorgeous condition!!!
$15 Kettle, nice shape


H Date code on 22.5" Kettle=1986



Shameless, self-indulgent self-portrait in WSM porcelain. :-) Real Artsy-Fartsy!!!





More self-promotion, Weber-Style!

DO Date Code on WSM=2005...

[Steve Vojtek]

That's a beautiful lineup!!!

Mr. Bones Outstanding...More with less. My first smoker was the red electric Brinkmann. Did a lot of overnight and butts until the unexpected overnight rainstorm. Right about then is when I found this site..

[Mr. Bones]

Them lil red electric Brinkmanns can put out some damn good smoker food, huh?
Still use mine to perpetuate an earlier wood 'n charcoal cook overnight, sometimes.
Made a LOT of great food in it, much of which is posted on this site...

[Thunder77]

Of course, you now will need the SNS, Drip n Griddle pan, and ash catcher for that Weber 22. MCS never ends, it sometimes just rests for a while...

[FireMan]

You know Bones you might be on to something, an adoption service for unwanted grills & smokers. You could call it Bones International Grill Adoption ServiceS. What da ya think? 🤔

[Mr. Bones]

Great idea, @Fireman!!!
Love the acronym!!! lol!!
BTW, thanks fer yer Lil' Red Cooler shot in th' KBB thread, Brother!!!
"Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em, boys!!!"

[Pirate Scott]

Is this a good deal? Never saw one before can't make out the model #.https://syracuse.craigslist.org/for/6071318301.html
thanks in advance

[lonnie mac]

Looks like some good rust spots, but to me still a nice find.

[Mr. Bones]

Yeah, I'd gladly buy one for that $, an' replace th' igniter, if so desired....

[Thunder77]

Go get that thing now!!

[tbob4]

Mr. Bones - I saw that cowboy hat as a reflection in one of those photos! Awesome!

[Mr. Bones]

Yup! Cowboy hat, bibbers too...
That'd be Me!!!
P.S: I can see it in two pics lol!

Mr. Bones I would love to find some deals like that. I'm more or less a novice smoker, pretty good on a gas grill, but once I got into the charcoal, I couldn't stop. Love my PBC, but been wanting to play with more toys (I think I'm amongst similar minded people around here). I think I would enjoy a Kettle because I could put a SnS in there, use small amounts of charcoal, and grill for 2 efficiently. The gasser is nice for a quick cook when you work a long day and want to eat quick, but you just can't enjoy it as much as the real thing. I'm gonna start lookin, but I'm not sure where to start.

[Mr. Bones]

Skelly It's super simple; even I can do it...
Jus' check yer local trade papers, newspapers, craigslist, garage sales, estate sales, etc., at yer convenience.
Lotsa smokers fer sale this time of year: MCS means many gettin' new gear, wife sez ol' gear must go...
