That's a cool idea. Standing by to see it.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

I like it. Pimping out the mini max.1 XXL BGE, 1 LG BGE, 2 MED. BGE, 1 MINI BGE, 1 Peoria custom cooker Meat Monster.Clinton, Iowa

I remember reading the question some of us had regarding the handles. Is there a solid "thick" rod that does most of the supporting and then what we see are just beauty covers? I like the upgrades! I already have the Rutland but, I figure I'll change it once the factory gasket begins to falter. Taking it off before you cook on it probably makes it a heck of a lot easier to remove.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I have been using the MM just about every other day and I was thinking I was consuming a large amount of lump. So I decided to go over everything and discovered the daisy wheel was not fitting properly so a slight mod was needed.BEFORE MOD
open hole by 1/8 to take out the imperfection in the original
