    I have a XL BGE, a small Kahuna (Bad Egg Knock off), 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain and a Coleman Roadtrip.  I would like to have LBGE or a GoodOne Marshal and a Blackstone griddle of some size.  I have Little Griddle, but a Blackstone would be nice, except I would have to get propane again.

    @Focker - saw a 14" WSM at Walmart the other day. Missing door, 2 quarter sized rusty chips in the porcelain on the dome, rusty charcoal grate. Asked the guy if we could strike a deal . He says $90. In that condition? Yes that's why it's marked down . I was still laughing as I walked out the door. 

    #1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February  2013 • #3 Mini May 2013
    A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

    Good call.
    Half would be reasonable.  You know Weber would send you all of the replacement parts for free.  Picked up my gasser cheap for this reason. They even threw in the ng to lp conversion kit.  A+ CS.

    Local Walmart here has a 14 wsm marked down to $62. No damage at all. Just don't know if I would have a use for it. Who am I kidding why should that stop me? Right?

    It is worth full price IMO.
    And it will improve your pies significantly.
    Buy it, don't look back.

    Eggs are very cheap compared to most men's hobbies.

    Truth be told, my ex, and girlfriends thereafter, have always been cool about my hobbies. And I, theirs.  I wouldn't hang around if we weren't.  Honestly, one large egg, the green kettle, and the KBQ, were all nice gifts.

    Just got home after a quickie with Walmartina.

    Felt a little dirty "raw doggin'" it with no protection plan.  But after a hot shower, I'll feel good as new.  =)

    Agreed bud.  The grilling hobby is the least of my concerns.

    My first AR build has cost more than all of these grills combined.  And I still have maybe 500-1000 to go before I sign off.
    Camping, ridiculous.  Won't even go into the deets.
    Hunting, ridiculous.  Bow, outfitted, has cost more than all these grills too.  
    Fishing is the lowest one actually.  But I don't have a boat.  If I did, it would be a pond prowler bass boat.  Super cheap.

    You can test run the boat thing. Just go to the bank and withdraw a few thousand and burn it in your karbeque. If you like how that feels, then I would go for it.

    Two best days of a boat owners life, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. My hunting addiction turned into a full blown outfitting business. I swore the BBQ and grilling wouldn't go the same way but I catered a Christmas party this winter for a friend's business !! I swear the cooking is just going to be for fun !! I think?

    Remember the old adage- if it flies, floats, or f...ks it's cheaper to rent than own. 


    Never heard that before. I like it!

    Thanks to your link, I found one at $79!
    This will pay for itself during my upcoming kitchen down time for some upgrades.

    Should work great at the campground too.

    I paid the same price for the 17" at Ace, and thought that was worth every penny.

    What the heck did you put in your AR build that cost more than all those grills combined? I can think of some primo parts but it still wouldn't add up to that much.

    My big boat is a nightmare, but the small 18' bay boat is dirt cheap to run.  I rewired it and that took a lot of time, but really it's not bad.  I always take one or two people with me and they usually take care of the bait, gas and launch fees.  Not that I care, but they insist.  Good friends make good fishing buddies.
