Imagine my surprise when I encountered this sign while driving to my office this morning!





New Grill

Our grill is very quickly approaching the end of its usefulness. I replaced the burner a few years ago, and it is due to be replaced again. Since the grill is eight years old and is literally falling apart in every area, I believe the most efficacious thing would be to replace it.

I have decided that the new grill must have an all stainless-steel intrior—the grill, burners, etc., must all of be high-grade stainless-steel construction. The exterior may be stainless steel as well, but this is not a necessity.

We have recently seen infra red grills on the Food TV Network. We have no knowledge of these other than what we saw there. I shall investigate them further, of course, but any input from readers would be greatly appreciated. My inclination leads me toward a Weber stainless-steel unit. I am, however, eager for input from others!
