So tonight I thought that I needed a new BBQ grill especially with the
long weekend coming on strong. after all, my old square red top

Sunbeam had performed faithfully for the past 5 seasons, but had done
it's last burger last year. The bottom rusted out, the lid hinges were
bent and bolts broken. handle gone, and I'd don an emergency
prosthesis *by wiring the grill supports with coat hanger strung
though the grill to hold the rack up. *Oh well, it was faithful but
it's time to replace *sadly*. So I went looking for another, and eh,
even though they were only $25.00 I thought I'd update to something
bigger, more efficient, and with easier maintenance, and one i won't
need to carry the whole thing to the back yard jsut to dump the
ashes.


*So I left the China warehouse (Walmart) and went to *to Menards, *and
Hey! There it was! *Already assembled and it was on "clearance" sale
too!


so Instead of $45.00 it was marked down to $30.00 and it went home
with me.
