It's a trap, it's just a trick to get you to cook on the weekends. Slowly put that spatula down and back away from the grill we can help you. :greengrin:

Well, the last grill was given to us by her parents when they moved from a large house into a small apartment.  It had a few years use (and was coated in tasty hamburger juice  :yumyum: ) and was constructed using plastic wherever possible.  It turns out that plastic covered in hamburger juice is like a delicacy to dogs.  My stupid huskie drug a pretty big grill out into the middle of the grass one day and started gnawing on EVERYTHING.  She literally ate the burner knobs, the wheels, the handles, and the side shelves.  I had forgotten to shut off the LP at the tank, and she ate through the supply hose and vented a brand new tank of LP.   :maddest:   I just about had grilled dog that night, except she ate the phucking grill!!!!

I patched it back together, but it's never been right since.  My wife took pity on me, and used some of our wedding money to get me the biggest baddest stainless steel grill we could find.  My buddys had gotten us the outdoor patio kitchen as a wedding gift, so we got the grill that went with it.  Turns out that they got us the one that goes with the big-daddy grill, so of course, thats what she bought me  :eyebrow:

The barbecue is unfortuneately scheduled during the roundup...looks like most of the board won't make it.  More for me  :tease:

I'll have to take a picture of the actual setup...it's friggin HUGE!

Hmmm, the buddies bought the one that went with the big daddy grill...I think somebody might have worked that out ahead of time. haha Did the dog suffer any brain damage from the LP :screwy:
