    Oh, the sweetness of a virgin egg (*sniff*).  Makes me happy.

    Congrats! Now you need to get it dirty. Did you intend to have your dome offset from the draft door?

    Nothing better than the smell of a new egg, except for maybe...... (A parody of the famous words from Stephen King's Christine)

    Enjoy, the smell only gets better!

    I did not.  I got it home late last night and put it together with the light of a flashlight.  I'll fix it before I fire it up.  Didn't pass the dollar bill test either :-/.  That's what you get for being impatient. Still pretty enough to snap a photo this morning.

    Yessir.  Garage is kind of a mess since Hurricane Sandy and I just threw those in there after my only ski trip this season.

    My question wasn't intended to be critical. I'm kinda detail oriented and was just pointing it out should rtt121 wish to do a quick shift. If not, great. No offense meant @rtt121.

    None taken.  I was hoping no one would notice (knowing that they would)

    I'll fix it.

    rtt121 don't get real caught up in the "dollar bill test". I only worry if a skatboard will pass between the top and bottom.
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

    If it were lined up correctly I probably would leave it.  My medium is older style and I cant seem to get it adjusted to pass the bill test.  Never any problems post nomex replacement.

    With that said @mickey I think I read you are gasketless? (at least on your old large?)  I think I like the gasket.

    Nice.  I have an XL and think a medium would be a great addition.
