I'm going to build a foundation and walls w/ concrete block (Columbus,
Ohio, USA) and would like to set a grill in it.

I went to the local Lowe's and Home Depot - wasn't impressed with their
grills. Also tried a store called "The Great Outdoors". Disappointed there
too.

I found the "Grand Turbo" grill online, and the more I keep surfing
looking for grills, the more I keep coming back to it.

Do any of you have any good/bad experiences with the Grand Turbo line that
you could share?

At first I was thinking that I should not purchase a grill mailorder -
after all, it's a grill, and what if something goes wrong with it in a
year or two. It's not like I could go to the local sears and get part(s).
However, the grill that we have now, that I got out someone's trash at the
end of my college career - it still works, and it's been 8 years, so who
knows.

Obviously I'm looking to seriously upgrade our cooking capabilities

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane

There just MIGHT be a Barbecues Galore near you.

Good Luck!

Didja check for a BBQ Galore near you? We have three of them out here,
listed in the White Pages under'Barbeques Galore'! For that kind of $$$,
I'd wanna acshully handle one before deciding. Aside from being a gasser,
I'd be concerned about the 'ceramic tiles' inside. When I was getting
started, I had a unit (Sunbeam?) with 'lava rocks' inside. They turned out
to be grease sponges. Good luck.

Where is the "Great Outdoors" store located in Columbus (I'm from
Springfield)? What type of products do they have?

Polaris mall. It's on 71, north of columbus, either in or just-south-of
Delaware. Take the 270 outerbelt to 71N and I think it's that first exit.

They have electronics, appliances, gadgets, all sorts of stuff that if you
hit the lottery you could go crazy buying.Both indoor and outdoor stuff.

A few years ago when the store first openned up, they had a huge selection
of outdoor grills.

They didn't when I went there a few weeks ago. I only go there about
once/year. So I don't know if they just don't carry grills too much
anymore or if this was the end of their season and they're mostly soldout.
