Ha ha....the propane vs charcoal makes me think of Hank Hill.
I've had the grill since friday night and have made lunch and dinner prepared on the grill each day since. Haven't burned one piece of meat yet....such a constant heat and no flare-ups at all.
Th quality of the BBQ is very good. Heavy metals and solid construction. I've had two other $300 BBQs that looked good but broke and died so easily. Yeah, this grill was $700 but I am expecting it to last 5-10yrs. And yes, its North American made and you can tell with the quality.
And my wife is loving that I've been doing the cooking.
Tonight was Steak Frites - marinated Steak, home cut fries (mix sweet potatoes and regular) and grilled green beans.
And a miller Chill Lime to go with it.
As I said earlier....life is very good.
