Re: Char-Broil grill
i've been lookin at gas grills for awhile now// love my charcoal weber cant get rid of it// but for when theres power outages due to storms it seems to b a good idea to have a backup like a gas grill
all the places i've looked and it really seemed to me that char-broil was pretty far down the quality ladder as far as gas grills r concerned i'm pretty sure when the time is right i'll get a weber gas grill from lowes the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of lo price is forgotten

I own a Lincoln gas powered welder/generator I use in power outages, has worked fine so far, but in an extended outage it would be much simpler to have a couple hundred gals of propane stored as opposed to gasoline, which is why I plan to convert it to propane before long. We use them everyday at work, no issues, actually more reliable than the gas machines.

Re: Char-Broil grill
Well I haven't heard anything back from Char-Broil since I sent the pictures. They have my status as "Waiting For Call Center Response" Although they told me on the phone Monday that I would hear back from them later on in the day after I send the pictures. I sent another message today with no response
