With so many conflicting reviews and critiques on the product, I feel torn with the choice at hand….. Can someone please assist in my plight…?

If its not memorable, its not worth doing.

    Sure. I will share my thoughts and must say… I wrestled with the same decision many years ago.

     What can I say about the Mangrates that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone.... this is one of the greatest inventions of all time. My wife and I would argue constantly over the BGR sear marks. It's one of those guy responsibilities that cannot be taken lightly.  You know, the old "I spent the entire day rearing OUR children, maybe YOU can pitch in a little and Sear Me Some Meat and Vegetables?!?!" and of course, "You think I have the energy to slave over a hot BGE for your grill marks Woman! I worked a 12 hour shift just to come home to THIS!?!?!"

    These are the things that can destroy an entire relationship. It got to the point where our children could sense the tension. The minute I heard our 6-year-old girl in her bedroom, re-enacting our daily searing drama with her Barbie dolls, I knew we had to make a change. That's when I found MANGRATES. Our marriage has never been healthier, AND we've even incorporated it into our lovemaking. THANKS MANGRATES! I hope this review helps all those undecided.

    If its not memorable, its not worth doing.

    Caveman, I would call you unstable, but that would be the pot calling the mangrate black. As our sage, our llama, you channel the many ways of the Mangrate. Espousing them from your mountaintop, your Shangri la. I will bang my gong as you meditate in the following waters, with the incense of the Egg following over you. May you eat your meat, eat it well. The Mangrates command!

    We do not strive for fortune. Nay, nay! We are merely soothsayers preaching the gospel of the Mangrate! Taken by Zeus, returned by Prometheus, the mangrate is man's. It was Prometheus that brought us the mangrates, awash in the flame of Olympus. As punishment, he was bound to Kazbec mountain, liver devoured nightly. Replicated today by man's liver devoured by alcohol, only to return anew with the next sun. Zeus sent us Pandora as our punishment, her box containing the evil that we know today as the gasser; bane of the Egg. Fear not, mangrate unites! We must no forsake Prometheus, nay, we will not forsake thee, Mangrates! No mangrates, no fire. No fire, no life! Let us place the mangrates on our grids in reverence! Bask in the warmth of it's glory. Eat the blood of the Mangrate! Eat, friends, eat! May meat and Mangrates be with you, eggdom. hail the iron rule of the Mangrate!
