I don't mind ads in usenet groups. But, I'm not gonna plunk down 399.00
(Pounds) = $776.45 US for a Chargriller I can pick up at HD for $135.00.


(anyone want one? I'm selling for $300.00 US. (save $476.00))

Why do they suck? The fish hanger looks good for Peking Duck. The
extensions would need to be built from good steel or metal to avoid
leaking. I wish Weber would come up with something like this. A problem
could be its ability to create uniform heat all the way up but with fish
or birds it seems the mass of the cut would be down lower near the fire.

Do you want me to forward them to you? USENET is a non-commercial
discussion area for various topics. Let one advertiser in and they will all
want to crap up the place. Give an inch and there will be hundreds of ads
for detergents, cars, Wal Mart, K Mart, etc. No, this is not the place for
them.
