Our Big Splurge

For quite a while hubby and I have been wanting a grill. But (true to form) we would much rather trade instant gratification for a cheaper price. Sooo... we decided that the best way to do this was to wait until the end of season sales. About two weeks ago we found this great deal at Sears. The grill was half price and Sears also had a deal that when you bought the grill, they gave you coupons for free Brats for the rest of the year. Hubby and brother who live near us really like Brats, so it was that much more appealing. So we made a budget (and checked it twice!) to make sure we could afford it... and we bought it! It's a Kenmore and has a dual burner on the inside with a grilling rack and a warming rack. It also has a bonus burner off to the side. It uses propane. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Funny story, by the way, about setting the grill up. It took hubby 4 hours to assemble the beast. It had a bamillion parts! Then, we were so excited to move it outside and take pictures, that we made a BIG mistake. We locked ourselves out of our apartment! When we stepped outside, we forgot that the doorknob locks automatically. Of course, neither of us had our keys. We weren't even wearing shoes! But at least I had my cell phone. So we tried calling our manager for about an hour. He never answered, and, three days later, he still hasn't called us back. (Grrrrrr...) So we had to call a locksmith. Of course, it only took him about five minutes to get us in, but he charged us $40.00. So ridiculous! So... expensive lesson learned- we went that same night and got a spare key made to put in a hide-a-key. Good thing we saved so much on the grill!
