New Grill I got

Well, Aimee agreed that the grill was a good investment, especially since it was discounted another $50 when we went to HomeDepot to get some other stuff. They were selling them so fast they didn't have any assembled, but it was probably a little easier to get it home in the big box than assembled anyways. I had to borrow my neighbors truck to go get it since it is so big it wouldn't fit in the car.

It took me this afternoon to put together, but we had steak on it that night and it worked great. It is so nice to have the stainless steel burners, they distribute the heat well and the cooking surface is pretty consistant temp across the whole thing. I also only had to use one side so there is only one grate to clean. Some of the other nice features are a removable drip pan that slides out the back and empties into a grease pan, 4 casters so it is easier to move around on the deck, the two hood design that makes using only part of the grill easier, and the electric ignition switch that used a AA battery to make the arc that lights the propane.

Aimee even brought home a cover for it that day so now it is able to be tucked in at night and kept nice sitting out on the deck next to the old one until I get around to discarding it. Maybe someone would want a overused grill with a fairly new burner.?.

New Grill I want

I have had the same small old weber grill for over 5 years now and have gone through like 3 burners in that time. I have been loathing the use of the grill because it is quite frankly rusting apart, the wire grilling service included. I tried to find a picture of me grilling something withing the past 3 years since we got our digital camera and didn't find a single one. Just goes to show it isn't anything for show since it is in such bad shape.

We got my Dad a new grill a couple years ago for Father's Day and I have been kinda jealous ever since. It is stainless steel outside with the stainless steel burners, like the new one I want, but his is a little bigger, I think.

This is the new grill I am wanting.

I have had my eye on this one for about a year. When I saw it last summer, I thought it was cool that it had two cooking areas that you could control separately. I would be able to just use one side when it was just Aimee and me, or fire up the whole thing when we had more to grill.

The reason this is coming up now is I just got a notification from Home Depot that they have new lower pricing on their grills, so maybe I can talk Aimee into letting me get it. Unfortunately, there are no holidays or birthdays coming up which are designed for giving me gifts. Doh!!
