I just had to drop $180 replacing the regulator, cast iron grilling grate, and firebox grate. Still a heck of a lot cheaper than a new one!
I started with a rack of baby backs using a spice rub I whipped up, some spritzes of diluted apple juice, and homemade BBQ sauce. This was my first time using it so was learning on the fly about controlling the temperature, I found that when it got to 250F and just wouldn’t come back down that a pan of water helps drop it down just enough. These came out incredible and I can’t wait to do other things.

You’ve got to cook her something now.
Congrats, I love seeing posts like this. Eggs are generational.
Cook her some food. What a steal.
That’s an insane price. I would have forgone replacing the therm and just got a smoke Singals from ThermoWorks. I also prefer the smokeware steel cap over the cast iron one but I also like to cook in the rain.
So we’ll see you at church tomorrow?
Thats a hell of a deal!
I’m only a couple years in from a craigslist cracked shell crappy looking BGE and i’m BGE for life! you scored a sweet deal!

Killer deal. I’ve had mine close to 20 years. Enjoy it man!
When ever I buy from old people I get them to run by a friend or family so I’m not taking advantage of them.
congrats and welcome!
