putting m60s back in the box #233678 12/09/08 01:02 AM Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 33 B Bennett_Marco OP enthusiast OP Bennett_Marco enthusiast B Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 33 Here's a dumb question...Does anyone remember if their m60s or m80s came packed with the grills on, or off? I'm trying to repack mine for a move, and the foam seems too loose with the grill off, but doesn't seem to want to fit with the grills on. I've had them for a year, so I can't remember just how they came. Any general advice/tricks on boxing and moving these suckers is also welcome.

Roadside Chicken on the charcoal grill. Yum. I find smoking works better than grilling in the winter though... you don't have to tend the Q so much so you can clear the driveway at the same time without dinner turning into a small charred lump.

I wouldn't mind a drop of about 10 degrees so I'll trade some of this with you guys up north. No grilling tonight but I did drag out the turkey fryer and made a low country boil which goes very well with good company and a brew or two. Speaking of the boxes, I wonder if empty speaker boxes can be bought from Axiom. Rick Our Room
