So, on Sunday I purchased a new grill.
This here’s the old one. Still looking ok after over 4 years of hard use…
…but it was showing the wear and tear on the inside. Plus, when I entertain it was just a little to small to get the job done right.
So it was off to the 4 Seasons store on base to upgrade. Only problem was the damn box wouldn’t fit in either the back seat or trunk of my Nissan. I rang up my co-worker Dennis and he graciously agreed to help me out with his SUV.
Here’s how it looks out of the box. You know, I am not a real handy guy around the house, but even a fool should be able to throw this thing together in no time.
The instructions make it look easy enough, right? Let’s get started…
Steps 1 and 2 complete. Now granted, if I had four hands it would have been a whole helleva lot easier, but I got it done.
After steps 3 and 4 it feels like I’m on a roll…
Man, I haven’t done that much screwin’ in one afternoon since I was 17…
And in just over 2 hours of work, I done got me a new grill… Let’s try it out!
Ah, burgers and beans… Yum!
Dinner is served! Let’s sit down in front of the TV and watch a little…
Deadwood!
Ah, ain’t life grand?
Cool threads, John.
Just for curiosity, what’d that rig cost you? Been shopping for a new BBQ here at Costco and curious how the exchange system is treating the troops these days.
The grill game in at just under $200. That was about mid range of what they had in stock. What I found interesting is it did not include a propane tank. No problem as I already have two, but still…
Deadwood! Most excellent show. I’ve watched it twice, myself 🙂
And those burgers and beans look pretty damned good.
Looks like a good buy.
I’m considering an end of season one for the new house for 700+, but they’ll probably run out before I pull the switch.
All stainless steel, refrig down below, two extra burners plus a lighted rotisserie and a special searing burner too.
No matter what you buy though, next year the new models will make what you have obsolete…… consumerism at it’s best and alive and well in America, which is why I’ll probably end up with a more simple rig.
