Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

Chez if you lived where I live--gas is your friend. Especially when you get four big blows like we did last year.

In case you didn't see my new grill here it is.[8D]Picked up at Costco in Medford, Oregon. As these grills go its not the top of the line but it has cast stainless burners. We're doing a landscaping remodel in the back and this grill is the first part. Now we can work the rest of landscaping around the new grill.
