It's kind of nice to not need to be satisfied with nothing but the

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.

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

Carbon footprint? The carbon involved came from the atmosphere not
long ago.

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.

She's a work of art. I think I might print and frame the picture.
Genuinely beautiful.

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.


No back burner, but my Weber kettle has a rotisserie. It does a mean
turkey.

I bought a brand-new Weber Genesis stainless steel gas grill at an
estate auction. Literally brand new...never used. Got it for $70.

Gas grill. Might as well cook inside.
