What state are you in fleetz? The Sunbeam factory 2nds store has the 780 for $179 with full manufacturers warranty (and it comes with about 20 bags).

Welcome to the forum mate. Nice work on the build, and nice arsenal you have there.

Sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen at home.

Looking forward to seeing more of you BBQ exploits.

Will you be attending the BBQ Festival in Port Macquarie in March?

Ken

Congratulations mate! Hope you have many more happy years of marriage and charcoal cooking ahead of you!

Nice Dalmatian rubbed brisket point.

Cooked on the WSM with a mix of apple and cherry wood.

Looking good mate. As far as the leaking goes it should improve as you do more smokes and the joins get a bit of 'gunk' on them. There is also a gasket kit that you can get for them - I have one but havent bothered fitting it yet. As for the water pan, there are plently of people who prefer the olde...

You got an email from heatbeads too? A mate at work just forwarded it to me.

Ken did you get all of that out just for the picture! Where do you keep it all? :) I actually did it a couple of weeks ago for another reason but had it handy in my flickr account. :) I keep them tightly crammed in a couple of cupboards I have claimed in the kitchen, and wherever they can fit in th...

The vent in the middle of the lid seems like a more logical position than the offset vent on a Weber, but whether it makes a difference I wouldn't know. I would think the benefit of having the top vent offset allows you to have the smoke travel accross your food and lets you move the location of th...

Looks fantastic! Definitely something to be said for the old dalmatian rub, simple and delicious!

Ken

Nice!

It always brings a smile to my face when i unwrap leftovers the next day and get that wafting smokey aroma.
