@WeberGrills EI Code Restoration Update 7/2/16

The ash catcher assembly had a bit of a droop in the back so one of my fishermen had some shark fishing stainless steel 175lb leader wire so we snugged it up tight.

I may invest in a dremel tool with a buffer attachment and hit the ash catcher with some polish. Anyone have a recommendation for a certain type brand? Sears had some sets for sale.

She’s pretty secure now.

@WeberGrills EI Code Performer Restoration Project Update 7/1/16

What a nice surprise when I got to the dock this morning.
4:30AM and Joey Ciolino dropped off the frame,  put together.

He used brackets and I think these are called sheet metal screws to firm it up and then he spray painted over them with black.  I had to really look to even notice because it blended in.  To A Weber Grillfella it would be obvious if you were focusing your attention at the base of the grill but I don’t think 99% of the population would think it was anything but standard.  Its really solid with the threaded rod and the brackets.

Next to get cleaning, a combination of scotchbrite pads, steel wool, water, dishwashing detergent and elbow grease.
Lots of surface dirt and stains.  Most came out.

Before-

I think I’ll pick up a bristled brush to scrub the grey plastic handles.  The little grooves are tough to get into to clean.

After-

Joey Ciolino Comes Through In A Big Way

It normally sucks getting to work  at 4:30AM30AM.  People tell me that I must be used to it but you know what? 99.99999999% of the time it sucks in a big way.  You never get used to a lack of sleep. 

But then you get to work and you see the beautiful silhouette of the classic @WeberGrills EI Code Stainless Steel Performer that your buddy who is a master welder dropped off after working his magic and all seems right in the world… 


Thanks Joey!

Live Smoke- Tuna Steaks On The @WeberGrills Smokey Mountain Smoker 

5:29AM 6/28/16

One of my fishermen was kind enough to donate some tuna to the cause. -A simple soy/sesame/red pepper flake marinade overnight and now they are placed on the grates to dry for an hour or two.


7:00AM

Light eight briquettes in the chimney and set up the charcoal basket in the smoker using the snake method with cherry chips and mesquite chunks.  The charcoal will slowly work its way around not having the entire basket of charcoal going at once will help keep the temps down.  We are looking to smoke around 250 degrees.

20160628_070859_hdr-01.jpeg

The tuna is placed with small gaps in between so the smoke can come on up through hitting each piece of tuna.  The Maverick 732 grate probe is placed and another probe for the internal temp of the tuna.  We will look to bring the internal temp on the tuna to about 135 F.

20160628_071021_hdr-01.jpeg

8:35AM

130 degrees internal temp,  Pulled the steaks off.

Done!
