  • Not a good thing

    So, last night I get out my brand new laptop that is less than two weeks old and the damn screen is cracked.

    And today things only get worse. I get my vortex in from Mad Hunky and sure enough, it will not work with the Jumbo Joe Weber that I bought. And to add insult to injury, the Dragon Wing shelf from BBQ Dragon that I ordered came in and it will not sit level on the Jumbo Joe. I think it has something to do with the shape of the kettle. PLUS, it is missing a utensil hook. At least I can send that back and get another one.

    Now what to do? I am about certain that I am going to Wal-Mart or Lowes and getting an original Weber. I knew letting my wife "help" me pick out a grill was a huge mistake and now those chickens have come home to roost.

    As for my brand new laptop, I guess I am going to have to pay someone to replace the screen.

    Heck of a way to start my week.

      My crystal ball show a new Weber in your future! Sorry Man all of it is a PIA!

      The J Joe will be good fer burgers. For most everything else I think you'll be happier with a regular Kettle.

        cant help with the smoker issues, but the laptop screen... if you're at all mechanically handy you can replace it yourself. Typically just a couple screws (although they are TINY screws) and a connector. I had a side job for a while replacing screens and stuff on iphones, but I've found my hands just aren't steady enough anymore to work with those itty bitty screws. ifixit.com has pretty decent instructions for most thing.

              Anytime. If you have questions or need a source for a screen, let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.

                Yep, those things are aggravating, but these things will pass. Things will start looking up before you know it.

                That new Weber Kettle will be a big pick me up.

                  Just a thought here..... Check Craigslist, Offer Up, Let Go. You can find some great deals on used kettles for 1/3 -1/2 the cost of new, and sometimes new ones as well. Hope the rest of your week goes much better
