And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
From around 1970 until 1985, I cooked outdoors almost exclusively on a Weber Kettle. I have more recently cooked on a Weber (propane) gas grill. While the charcoal grill was fun and adventuresome, the gas grill is predictable and easy.
Again, I have used a Weber propane gas grill (I am on my 3rd one) for the past fifteen years. One man's trash is another man's treasure. As an aside, I was a housewares buyer for several large Dept. Stores over the years. Weber has the best quality (moderate priced) grills in the world.
It's not good that you are proud that a low tech item like this is made in the USA.
It's a piece of stamped sheet steel with minor gas fitting odds and sods, legs and wheels that should be made in a third world craphole like China, leaving Americans free to make sophisticated, high tech, high skill products.
Loved my original red one, bought at Sears in 1994 for $59.99. Wooden handle, lid ring on the back and accurate thermometer. The newer blue one we have is like this one. Not quite as good. Has a hook on inside of lid, plastic handle and the thermometer is about 75 degrees off. Still works though, a lot.
I got the Performer, the one on the cart back when they were around $300. That one is too short for me.

ReplyDeleteIs there any point to a gas grill? Might as well cook on an indoor stove.
ReplyDeleteGet a Slow-N-Sear for it. They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteMade in the USA huh?
