The Meco that's square and has the adjustable grill level? I've got a high
end grill and a professional smoker, but I still grill steaks on the Meco.
Red hot coals and the meat about an inch from the coals.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't think it was that one, but agreed, the red one is nice, and the
adjustable grate is the bomb. Mine is in storage now, using mainly the
gasser for grillin and the WSM for smoking. I never went in for the weber
kettle cause I couldn't see how to get the food close to the coals - far, I
can see, but close - no.

What in the heck am I supposed to do with it besides throw it off the

Kili, keep it in the original pkg and give to the first worthy person your
FMIL doesn't know! Hey! It works with ties. ;~)

A man after my own heart. Works for kitchen equipment also. I'm picky
about kitchen tools, my MIL (God rest her soul) wasn't.

You're right, you're right.

Don't be so quick to agree Kili. Caiman doesn't seem to know much about
MIL's

I tell people all the time how lucky I am. My MIL is one of the greatest people
I've ever known and likes me better than her own kids.


It's not just luck, Tyler. I claim that the man that knows only one MIL,
knows them best. I've known mine for 15 years and my experience has been
just like yours.

Kili, you be the judge who the true MIL connoisseurs are here. Actually,
the two principles I was trying to convey are valid not only for MIL
encounters: 1. ANY gift given with genuinely good intentions must be
accepted as if it is a ton of gold. 2. Try to make the best of every bad
situation.

Now, go grill something.

Then better not invite the MIL over for a cookout anytime soon.

Well, yes. After all, you took over payments on one of 'em.

Good point. And on this one, the payments are high! Last yr. her Mother's Day
present was a new Vette.
