This is something we had at Mac-Forums (the forum where I left after a disagreement with management). Think of it as a slow chat, kind of... place where you can talk about anything without having to start a new thread... you can talk about anything here, you can rant, or just read posts and not contribute.
No ice, no mixer, just RYE!!!

If you discover a way to serve beer over the 'nets, I'm all for an online bar and grill.

I don't see how this would fit any niche that's not served by the Lounge or MacNN IRC.

Really nice looking grill... till you get to the wheels. They look like they belong on a $30 office chair.

I don't care that much about the looks of the wheels, as long as they hold up... or are easily replaced.

P.S. We bought a propane one. We don't have the hookup for natural gas. It'd cost us many hundreds of bux to put one in, and the hose would still need to be around 25' long for where we want the BBQ most of the time. I had a natural gas BBQ in my previous place though. Very convenient not having to fill up a couple of propane tanks every year.

Hopefully this one does well, cuz my previous BBQ sucked.

Introduced in 2007 the WEBER SUMMIT series are unparalleled in design, performance and durability. There is nothing in their price category that can match them.

Weber Summit® Series
4 Burner Model
Available in LP gas with accurate tank weight gauge (tank sold seperately) or natural gas model with a 10-foot hose and quick connect fitting.
Please note, natural gas models require 1/2" gas supply.

• 4 stainless steel burners totalling 48,800 BTU's
• EXTRA 10,600 BTU dedicated Sear Zone - Total Sear Zone BTU = 31,800
• 12,000 BTU side burner
• 9,600 BTU rear burner with rotisserie kit
• 8,000 BTU dedicated smoker box burner
• 10,600 BTU infrared rear mounted rotisserie burner
• Full rotisserie kit included
• Snap-Jet individual burner ignition system
• Double-walled stainless steel hood with stainless steel handle
• Fixed commercial grade thermometer
• Heavy 3/8 stainless steel ROD style cooking grills
• Stainless steel frame, doors, rear, bottom & side panels

You might want to replace them with some bigger wheels then. I know if my dad tried to roll that grill across his deck, those tiny wheels would get stuck in the crack between the boards, the grill would flip over on top of him, searing his body and causing him to rue to the day he brought me into this world. So I bought him a grill with large wheels.

Mine isn't going to be on a wood deck. I'll be setting it on patio stones with a 2-3 mm space between them, with the brakes on of course.

Nonetheless I'll look into bigger wheels if I find them a problem.
