"You're asking what I think about that for next week? I say, "why wait?""

"Mr. Colvin, in 7 degree weather, the Char-Griller worked just fine. I worked just fine. Even the car got me to and fro. But the camera lens just frosted up."

"Ah, the fresh fall of the pure driven snow, the spine-tingling temps dropping to sub-nothing, icey slush, digging out the car, driving 15MPH to work...time to grill!   Yesterday, I dusted 11 inches of heavy powder off the trusty Chargriller,…"

"Yep, they're pretty good. Also great to have a set for serving salad."
