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

It's a work of art. It does have a rather large carbon footprint.

Carbon footprint? The carbon involved came from the atmosphere not

is there some sort of explanation that goes along with that statement?

There is no meaningful carbon footprint to taking carbon from the
atmosphere. It is fossel fuels that are the problem. Taking carbon out
and then immediately putting it back is not a net change. Gas grills
do use propane out of the ground.
