It's kind of nice to not need to be satisfied with nothing but the best. 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 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/detai...72036854775808 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. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ro ductDetail Ain't she a beauty? ?: ^ ) |

Casady 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. Casady |

I know there are a lot of "kettle" fans but I like a grill with a back burner and a rotisserie. You can stick a chicken in the spit, a couple foil wrapped potatoes on the upper rack, go for a boat ride and come back two hours later to a great meal. I bought a brand-new Weber Genesis stainless steel gas grill at an estate auction. Literally brand new...never used. Got it for $70. |
