Whaddya think? My grandmother is insistent on buying us a grill since she visited and was less than impressed with my current setup. I'm a gas man, but I wouldn't mind having the flexibility to use charcoal or a smoker. This bad boy combines all three. You think this thing is just a gimmick? I could also stick with just a big ole gas grill, but this has piqued my interest. $299 This uniquely designed Triple Function Charcoal/Gas Grill & Smoker gives you the best of all outdoor cooking experiences.

Have you ever had to put one of those together? Plan nothing else that afternoon unless the store puts it together for you.
Doesn't sound too bad. I been thinking about building my own, but 24" conductor pipe ain't cheap nowday's.
For some reason, I excel at putting things together. Of course there is a potential for a few thrown screwdrivers, but all in all I don't really mind it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment I so desperately need.
I've convinced myself that it's not all the empty beer cans laying around, after putting something together, that caused there to be leftover bolts/nuts/washers. Instead, I believe the guy packing the parts was drunk and just gave me a few extry.
I can clearly see that your answer is "No Stoop...I've never put one of those together". Excel away....lol
I recommend getting a gas grill with a rotisserie burner. It'll cost more, but there is some good cookin' you can do with rotating critters. If you want smoke, you can always get a smoke box to put in it.
