Several weeks ago was my 30th birthday, and Kelly said she wanted to buy me a new grill for it. I currently have one large charcoal grill that is rusted and out of shape. It’s also really annoying to just cook for two because it’s so large and takes too much charcoal to get it hot enough. I also have a small Weber kettle grill that was here at the house when we bought it. The legs fall off of that one if you try to move it. So, it was time for a new grill…

Of course I wanted charcoal, but it’s such a pain when you just want to grill something real quick, but ideal for smoking and slow cooking. So I was leaning towards a propane grill for day-to-day use, and just keep the Weber for when I needed it. I looked around a lot at fancy grills with rotisseries and infrared burners, but to get what I liked seemed like a lot more money than we thought was a good idea. I lost interest a little because I couldn’t find something that was “the one” and also within price range.

Until today…we happened to stop by Lowes just to see what they had in stock. I had been to their website a ton of times so I thought I knew what they had to offer. Then I found it. The best of both worlds. 1200+ sq inches of cooking surface. Side burner. Propane powered…AND charcoal powered!

Excited to put it together tomorrow, maybe even try it out! Might post some pictures.
