New Grill...or Griddle?

The people who assemble them had stripped a screw for one of the end tables, so I had to borrow their tools to drill it out, but it's in the back now as we eat some delicious Lee Wah Chinese food.

It's heavier duty than I would've guessed, but it's certainly not a lifetime grill like the Webers/Napoleons. I figure it'll give us a few years to decide if we like the griddle, though, and who knows?

Now I've got an extra $280 for that derailleur/shifter combo!

Congrats! At $166, a no brainer. But I notice you opted for the derailleur while leaving your son's Christmas joy in peril...

I need more research for his bike! We've never bought him a new one, but given he'll be 13 we'll be able to get a "forever" bike.

Best grill ever is my 30 year old Brinkman propane grill/smoker. Replaced the burners at least 3 times. It has lava rock which catch drippings and add smoke and flavor to anything that is grilled. I don't understand what "Flavor" bars are good for.....it's like grilling over a tin can and just seems like nothing more than a marketing tool to me. The attached smoker works great but also can be turned down to 120/140 degrees and used as a holding oven when cooking for larger groups. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=...=att&disp=safe
