Well, shoot

What a bummer of a weekend now.  As those of you who were in the chat sessions this week may recall, I was going to fire up my old grill this weekend, for the first time in 2 years.  Got some meat Friday, propane Saturday, was going to grill lunch today, but didn't have a fire stick to light it with, so that plan died.  Just came back from getting a long lighter, burned the cobweb out of the propane regulator connector and hooked it to the cylinder.  Walked around to the front of the grill to light it and burn some residue off, but the knobs are rusted tight.  Also noticed the inactivity took a toll on the grates, so they'd need replacing.

Went to the manufacturer's website (Coleman), and found the parts I need to fix it, but it'll cost about $130 plus shipping.  Guess I may look for a closeout deal Tuesday when I go to the City...should be a good time to find a deal, since the season officially ends this weekend.

That suck TT.

I hope you find a good deal on a new grill.

Sorry to hear that Tim.

Send the meat to me. ;D

[Tiny Tim]

I've got a George Foreman grill that can get me by, also a freezer for worst case. lol

That stinks Tim!

My grill decided not to work this weekend also..... and then there is my pellet grill that decided to do what it wanted :o  

Good luck in the grill search.

The weather is actually cheering me up about this...it's raining, so I wouldn't have been able to grill tonight anyway. ;D ;D ;D ;D

[SnellySmokesEm]

Just the fact the you get to buy a new to should cheer ya up!!!!

Why not?  I grill in the rain. :D

[NePaSmoKer]

Yeah Tim this sux. Its almost worth buying a new grill.

Say i know of a Traeger Lil'Tex around somewhere.....but it might be spoken for  :D

Last I heard it was spoken for

[Tiny Tim]

Afraid a Traeger Lil Tex would be a bit out of my league right now, even a used one.  Thinkin' a cheap gasser to get me by for a couple years until I can get something better.

[hal4uk]

Dang, Tiny, That S*CKS... 
To heck with those expensive parts - get a $5 charcoal grill, and LET-R-RIP!

[Smokin Soon]

I have been in that situation too many times. That's why we need an arsenal of weapons in our inventory to complete any task!! :D

[Caneyscud]

That sux!  Also why I haven't had a gasser for a few years now.  Two concrete blocks and a rack from somewhere.  That and deadfall limbs is all I need to make the best steaks and hamburgers around.

I'm a charcoal guy too, had too many flame throwers in my day.
