other dog Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm about as happy as Rob would be if "Momma" went out and bought him a R-model Mack with a V8 in it.For once I got a good deal! I looked at this grill a couple of weeks ago at Tractor Supply, but was too cheap to actually buy it for $180. Then I came home and looked at it online and it was $40 more than Tractor Supply's price, and I wished i'd bought it, so today I decided to go get it. Best part was, it was $30 cheaper today than it was then- usually anything I buy goes on sale the next day.Now all I gotta do is put it together-i'm gonna throw away the instructions first and just use my vast knowledge of grills that's in my head. Couldn't be too hard...6 hours later...hmmmm...doesn't look like the picture on the box, but it works great! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 I went back and read the instructions, came out a little different this time...easy assembly? my ass!there was 9,000 parts to this thing!had a defect too-...knot fell out, leaving a knot hole!lookin' like a grill now,eh?The grates are cast iron so I have to season them before I cook on it.Prolly do that tomorrow-see, it's a buffessional model grill-weighs about 9,000 lbs!Nice unit, everybody's invited when I try it out. Might take a while to get used to it, 'cause ya gotta know your equipment for good barbecuing. Now I can throw my old barrel grill away-all the antifreeze flavor had burned out of it anyway. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 I say we all forgive him, but only if we're invited to the inaugural Boston Butt grilling with the new "unit".That offset firebox is what sold me on this grill, should work great for boston butts, and ribs. I'll have to season the grates before I use it, and they even reccomend coating the entire grill with oil so i'll probably do that too. I never had a nice big "store bought" grill before, except for the little small ones so i'll try to take good care of it.In fact, I might not even ever use it. I told Jo I was gonna throw the coffee table out and keep it in the living room. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
