Finally.... :o
The grill needed a new lid so I had dual smokestacks and dual thermos put on it.
Stainless Steel covers for the side shelves and the handle.
Had two extra air intakes put in with the new split cooking grill 36/12 and new reflector plates.
This way I can smoke indirect from either side or have coals on both sides for broasting and of course crank em all open and get my grill on.
I am going to be sending all my findings over to Quality Grill because Mark might incorporate some of these mods to his "Stock" models to make them more versatile..................

Sounds like you got plenty of air control now Smoke. And having the split grill for indirect is a must ;)
-
....and it uses Kingsford 8)

Beautiful grill. Thanks for sharing. The quality looks outstanding.... Phil

Smoke, when you sell this grill ( and eventually you'll want something else) sell it to someone who will appreciate & care for it!
LIKE ME!

You are first on the list LA 8)

Smoke I want to see a whole hog on that thing! Looks big enough :o
-
This looks nice how does it smoke, is it also a grill ? great idea .
-
It is basically a big ole grill 24 x 48 cooking grate. I had the grate split so I can cook indirect in it as well. When I first had it, it only had one air vent in the center and I had a hot spot in the center and the coals would die out if placed on the far sides. Now with the added air vents this baby can do it all.....

Smoke..I want one..that is beautiful and can't wait to see how your cooking on it. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

It is a real good cooker Pam. I had this unit late last year and loaned it out and it got damaged while it was out on loan. So it went back to the Mfg and that was my chance to custom it out....will keep you posted......
In fact....I got a -4- hour burn at 325 degrees yesterday on a charcoal basket of Kingsford. I am gonna weigh the basket tonight to see just how much is in there...I am guessing 3-4 lbs so 1lb an hour is not bad. The basket was set dead center and both thermos ran the same..tonight a more indirect kind of test with the coals on the right side and tomorrow with the coals on the left and then some coals on the left and right(should be the split chicken set-up)..........

Looking forward to see'n ya' cook with this one. Now is Smoochy going to get to use it? ;D
-
I'm lucky to even get close to it!! ;D
-
Nice mods my brotha, can't wait to see her in action once again.

No better way to re-break in the Quality Grill than with some Wal-Mart Rib-eyes!!

Heck yeah smoke!
So what do you think of your super charged grill now? Did you test any of the air control before you grilled them?
-
I had the -3- air vents about 1/2 open and she was running around 400. I opened them all up and the coals just took off!!
So I can either slo grill or crank it up to sear.
Lets see what happens tomorrow when I go indirect............
