Hi, I'm new!

Hi

Checking in as a new guy. First things first. I live in the Texas panhandle, but I'm from Austin via Wyoming. It would be almost impossible to explain that. As far as am I a wanted man? Hmm with current laws and pinky promise codes I'm almost positive the statue of limitations have expired, making me free to roam aimlessly without concern. However,I will not be visiting the west coast or Arizona anytime soon. I found this forum after searching for info and trying to figure out what kind of grill I "need" vs the one I "want"

I have a weber Genesis "old faithful" it's my during the week griller - just unstoppable maintenance free delight.
I also have a char griller - Akorn. This one is the grill that put me on the path. it almost put me in the BGE market. But if you know Akorns, then you know the trials and tribulations I've been through. Who seriously keeps the original receipt? Come on Akorn!

So I read a book, Mr. Franklins book to be exact. I got all hopped up on no clueism, and grand plans. Mr. Franklin did inspire me however. I went and talked to a guy , to have him make me a grill. Well the guy delivered he made me a grill, exceot that it was small. Think spinal tap and the stone hedge fiasco. What he charged still makes my eye twitch. This guy was a "professional welder" has a business, I don't know how, because he didn't listen to a word I said, Which also makes my eye twitch. So very long story short, I now have a small grill that one day is going to be my firebox. On the grill, that I'm now going to make myself.

So now that I've written a book, this is why I'm here. I'm here to learn as much as I can from some folks that have been there done that. Made the mistakes and want to share the wisdom they have gained. I'll be a willing participant in the school of hard knocks, in return I'll offer you the giggles you will get from my misfortunes. As I try to figure all this out.

This what I'll be bugging you all about in the near future. Good entry level welders. Types, places, and preferences of metals. After that's all done. Then it will be the usual I built it, now what questions.

Look forward to it. Thank you

Mrtrt
