Got a new toy!!
« Reply #-1 on: June 04, 2014, 10:00:22 PM »
So I finally picked a good campground to keep my trailer at. First order of business with the wife was I need a BBQ to keep there. Got the green light and got a 18.5 WSM

And this to monitor temps

Let's burn this baby in!

No idea why the igrill is so hit and miss. It is a great concept. Congrats on the new WSM

I have the original larger model and experienced no problems.

The new mini has a lot of issues. Battery life is one of them.

Congrats on the campground Weber!

Awesome new toy Scally! I also do some of my best cooks on my WSM! It is a great cooker and very
easy to maintain temps once you get the vents dialed in.
