It's all in yer heads....it's just starting to get comfortable out.

You ain't foolin' nobody Rowdy- you know it's hot!

heh heh,,,Trey, In this mess we having here now, "used" unit would be very welcome! According to weather channel, texas is bout to get in a even bigger bind for rain, there is nothing in sight,,,its getting tough,,,thanks, randyp

Yep, it's bad. Picked the tomatoes when I got home today, but the whole garden is just about dried up and blown away.

Did you trade 'ol blackie, or will Spot be seen cruisin' Daingerfield in it on Saturday nights now?

Nice looking "unit" there Thad! really nice! Contrary to where Other Dogs mind stays, by "unit", I mean the truck. You will enjoy that. I have a 61 that I use 2 or 3 times a week, moving excavator, dozer, motor grader. I bought it restored from oldmacks couple of years ago and been a really good reliable truck. I like Dennis, easy to deal with, and will do what he says. congratulations!! randyp

Yes, congratulations on your new unit! By the way Randy, that's a nice big picture you got there-thank you.

Rob, Is this what you had in mind?

No, he wants a Peterbilt cab, nothing else will do.

That only works on JCB equipment as shown in the picture.

Rob

oh

Yup, them Craftsman things are the Peterbilt of hand tools.

Suppose you got lucky this time to not be let down.

Rob

But that Craftsman 1/4" drive ratchet is about 37 years old, wrench about the same age best I can recollect.

They are really good well built grills, kinda like craftsman tools,,,heh heh, heres pic with fancy cover and next pic is where I go nekkid when its 109 degrees, wont include nekkid pic today,,,randyp

thank you...thank you very much.

Heres what I grill on Tom, Chargriller, cooks whatever Spot drags up, one side propane, one side charcoal, propane bean cooker on left and firebox on right. Even have a fancy dandy cover for it. Dont be being blashpemous and mixing good craftsman tools in with other tools. Randyp

They had these "units" right beside the one I bought at Tractor Supply. They're nice, I just didn't need the gas grill.

Thanks leversole, great pictures!

None taken :tearineye

dammit again! I hate to hurt one's feelings...

here's what you need- thought I suggested this last year.

You spend too much time on the computer, and you WILL be

pay no attention to hatcity- grill on brother!..no offense Ed

Speaking of ridicule, my new unit is now complete- all I need to do is smoke some meat.

here's my left arm- i'm tightening bolts with a Craftsman 1/4 inch drive ratchet and a Snap-On 7/16" open end wrench.

here's my right arm, tightening bolts- same specs as above

Got the grates seasoned and in place

Even oiled the outside!

If it is not a hole what the heck is it? Actually it is about the right size to hold a bottle of Tom's world famous red pepper grilling sauce.

You're exactly right, that's why I didn't glue it back in, I thought it would be useful! These guys, their minds stay in the gutter

Could save some money with this one...............

Dammit! Why didn't you tell me this the day before yesterday David, I could have heisted a Food Lion shopping cart and saved myself all this ridicule as well as the money !

I'll post photos when I find my extra camera cord. My primary cord is at work.

Rob

Rob, I feel like i'm being picked on about my new unit, so now I realize how you feel. Therefore, I will not be picking on you any more...

OK, enough of that- so, where does your primary cord work?

"Momma" didnt want to cook...she offered to buy Burger King (her tastes and requirements are very simple, probably why she keeps me around) ...who am I to argue! That was Friday! For our 23rd anniversary, I took her to a nice restaurant (got home in time to watch the race), she rewarded me this morning!

You should go to Tractor Supply and git you a grill and cook something for her, it's very rewarding.

I've gotten everyone in the grillin' mode now! Nice unit, whatever works, eh?

It's not in the manual, had to go to Milwaukee's website. 1400 in lbs, 0-2200 rpm, 0-3200 ipm. When you hit the trigger unloaded you can feel it torque in your hand.

I see you went with the optional rottissery attachment instead of the offset firebox. Be careful with all that torque, you might turn your unit over.

I've never been around any of them. Always remember that Western Star was a "hand built" Canadian truck of good quality. I remember this series when new and the styling always kinda stuck with me. It is the same thing when I first seen the first Superliners in the 70's.

Rob

These are the best looking Western Stars. I don't like the newer ones where the cabs look like they've been over inflated. Todd had a couple of Low-Maxxes, I think they were called, and they were butt-ugly.

It's amazing what can be purchased through the internet; you just need to know what you are after.

Rob

Have to agree about the internet-like the grill I just bought, and digital cameras, I always google things before I buy to see other people's reviews and comments, and just to learn more about it, even if I go to Wal-Mart or somewhere and get it.

heh heh,,,Mark, here in Texas, "unit" implies new truck or "pecker". I didnt really care to hear it if he got a new "pecker", but I was ready to congratulate him on a new truck. Dern silly ass truck driving Gladys Virginians call a grill a "unit". Well, aint never heard such butchering of the queens english! randyp

This might be better than a Peterbilt, not sure about the pecker thing-there's a pony just up the road here that I do envy a bit.

I say we all forgive him, but only if we're invited to the inaugural Boston Butt grilling with the new "unit".

That offset firebox is what sold me on this grill, should work great for boston butts, and ribs. I'll have to season the grates before I use it, and they even reccomend coating the entire grill with oil so i'll probably do that too. I never had a nice big "store bought" grill before, except for the little small ones so i'll try to take good care of it.

In fact, I might not even ever use it. I told Jo I was gonna throw the coffee table out and keep it in the living room.

a hunertn fifty bucks-for that-PT Barnum said it best-there's a sucker born every minute

Perhaps I just assembled it wrong-i'll look at the picture again. Besides, it was not $150- it was $149.99
