You can get a Weber kettle for $100 that WILL last you two days short of forever, and $40 will get you a good bike chain lock to chain it to the bumper until the show ends. hell, for that you can buy 10 Smokey Joes and leave the bloody things at the pkg lot.

I've got one of the big black Weber kettles on its rolling tripod, and I agree with you. I don't think I could get as many burger patties on the Weber as they show on the M'ville grill, but to my mind that isn't worth the extra $$$.

with apologies to Jimmy, but I just couldn't resist:
"Today, a barbecue grill costs more than a lot of your first automobiles did. I had a hundred-dollar pick-up truck back in those days. I know.
Can I get an AMEN for a hundred-dollar pick-up truck?"

-"BB"-

Full size kettle would handle 20 burgers. Then, after the coals slow down a little, you could smoke a pork butt & have pulled pork for dinner. Try THAT with a frikkin' GAS GRILL!!!!!!!



(and an overpriced one, at that)

Well I do own a $400 gas grill, but it's a webber and I bought it after burning up 3 cheap ones. I bbq several nights a week and it's 4 years old and still in tip top shape. Webber build quality equipment. But for tailgating, hell a $10 throw away will do.

Yeah, it's something else for sure. And Mr. Happy Announcer Man should be selling used cars or working at the carnival. (Where's the barfy smiley guy when you need him.)

We've spent a fair amount on our gas grill at home too......but we grill at least 3-4 times a week.....even if we have to clear the deck of snow to get to the grill.....

$10?! Buy them now- they're $2.50 here, and they have hardwood charcoal and not the weird tasting briquettes!

After a football bender this weekend (and consequently being subjected to this ad at least a half dozen times), I think I want to claw my eyes out next time I see it. Definitely not buying the grill, if only because the ad is so terrible.

Also, I just watched this ad online for about the 10th time. and just now I was FINALLY able to recognize the music in the background as some God-awful Margaritaville remix.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw this commercial. I cant believe how many times they played it (on the other hand, I cant believe how much college ball I watched this weekend! LOL).

I'll never be able to get one because a prerequisite seems to be having your tailgate organized in a way where every picture will look perfectly arranged with perfect lighting, perfect looking people, and hard rock Jimmy tunes playing ever so softly (yet persistently) in the background.

What a loss.

Bonus points to the first person who posts a pic of that green plastic thing half melted off the front.
