I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Did it run when you parked it?  Just a new igniter and it'll probably start right up? I don't see the tank...does it have knee dents? Maybe Frankenstuff could make some replacement sidecovers  for that... not much rust.... how much are you askin for it?

...it's time!



This is what happens when you throw an old crappy grill off a 2nd story deck after it won't light and you have some 2" filets ready to be seared!

Thanks for all the great responses.

Don, you'll have to come up with a wad of spacebucks to be able to afford a sandcast grease cup.

Sorry, the filets are gone. Had to resort to using the broiler....just not the same. 

Hmmm...sell the parts on eBay as Sandcast, good idea Jerry!

A little late posting this but:

Santa came early [Mrs Claus hates that!] and dropped off a brand stinkin' new Char Broil grill since my last one suffered that horrible fate.
I've used it a couple times so far and pretty pleased.

Plan to get a few 2" filets tomorrow....

Not a bad idea, Cal!  Mick in Oz recently bought a Weber though, he might take the top spot this month?
I looked at them but couldnt justify the cost, he must have more money to burn than I?!
