:yahoo: Oh yeah...so i have been grilling for years and DO cooking for a long time as well. I've only had a gas grill and always used a small tinder box to try and get some smoke flavor. About a year ago i got an orion cooker and it took some practice, but I can get some pretty smokey flavor with that.

Well fast forward to few weeks ago and I was at a yard sale and a lady had a almost new webber grill for sale. It was marked 10 bucks and was not put together. I glanced at it and offered her 5 bucks. Sold! :grilling_smilie: I used the fact i had to assemble it as leverage... But the legs were missing :th_crybaby2: i asked her about it and she told me it was a hibachi and had no legs. :rofl: (could not find the :omg: slapping head emoji) so after some looking in her garage i gave up and took home a rare hibachi webber. IMO they just used it for a fire pit. And maybe only one time. The cooking grate had never been used and the ash sweepers aka vent doors were not even installed. They were there with a bag of hardware. So i call webber and tell them whats going on and buy the missing parts for another 28 bucks! :sausage:

So now my son who is almost 11 is all into the webber. Wants me to smoke and grill everything. We are both hooked. So i look forward to learning from everyone here and maybe lending some dutch oven advice if needed. I have a nice collection of CI!

Someone tell me how to add pictures...
Oh got it...never mind. Making some wings.

Now i have legs on my rare hibachi. Happy smoking.

Welcome to the board! I got my smoking start on a legless Weber in otherwise fairly new condition. This was on a ridgetop property with a cabin and a campsite in the pines. I put the Weber in a car wheel rim like a ball in a socket, so I could swivel it to level on a slope. Lots of windfall maple on site.

). What a bargain. I keep checking out the yard sales and flea markets, but I have been unsuccessful. Looking forward to seeing some more Q-View.

Welcome Fl Bill,

Glad to see you found this forum. We have camped a few times together with the POPUP Portal rally's. You make a great dish in the DO so the smoker should be a natural migration.
