Well, yesterday morning ecurbh started what he thought would be a simple project to take our gas grill apart and figure out what needs to be replaced. It's not been starting right, so we new it needed a new igniter, and it's not been heating evenly any more, so we thought new burners...

Well, the further we looked in it, it looked like pretty much the whole innards were shot. We haven't replaced anything since it was given to us over 4 years ago... and we use it a LOT. a few times a week, year round.

So we looked up all the parts on Sears.com and it was about $150 worth of parts to fix it... and THIS economic stimulus was on sale for $200.

So here's some scenes from putting it together...

And we christened it with some filets of salmon. :~)

Nice grill, very nice!

I got some wild, fresh caught salmon at the grocery store last week that was absolutely wonderful, the best salmon we’ve had in a long time. For a taste treat, try sprinkling the salmon with season-all and garlic salt. It’s really good.
