I was contemplating this. Think I’ll take a pass, my old weber kettle is ugly and ancient (given to me by a housemate in '90!) but it still works.
check out comments from earlier Woot offering: Sellout.Woot
Look at comments on second page where people added updates after receiving the grill (North American Outdoors BB02336U)
Element Fuego - unless you really want to cook on a cast iron grill, I can’t really recommend this thing, not for $60 anyway. It’s pretty but not that well designed. For the legs to fold, you have to detach the gas valve. The red rubber strap does break. I only bought it a few months ago and has only been used once and the strap has broken. I’m planning a little grilling picnic tonight and went to get it and found the rubber straps had broken. That said, I have used it and it does cook well.
I also have the grilling set and for $8, it’s worth it. The rack is pretty big - you’ll need to take the upper rack off for most BBQs. A smoker box is at least $10. The sauce cup is nice as well as the silicone brush.
Smores maker? In my day we called that a stick. The woods were full of them. They would make a great fireball launcher too if you set your marshmallow aflame. I guess you could chunk that whole contraption if you wanted to. All you youngsters need is a good old fashioned stick. It’s better than good, it’s wood!
I feel bad for those that bought the North American Outdoors NOT Heavy Duty Charcoal Grill. I did not see this in time to save those who bought it from buying it. I apologize.
I would offer that there are fundamental differences between computers, cellphones, etc and a stick. If you don’t believe me, search for it on Lycos or whatever new-fangled gizmo you use these days.
The skewers were HUGE disappointment in this house. I wasted a bunch of food because it all stuck to the wires & fell apart when we tried to it them off the hot, un-greased metal wire. I’m too sad to try them again.
I use this when I don’t want to break out the big boy. It works pretty good for a couple of burgers or steaks.
As far as the strap goes, you may as well just throw it away right after unpacking the box. It won’t last a week.
I’m ticked I didn’t buy 3 more sets for gifts. I love them. You can cram so much more food onto these than skewers and they’re much easier to turn in my opinion.
I bought them when they first hit the market 2ish years ago around the same time they did the Woot branded cedar planks.
Anybody else order one of the Polder thermometers - listed as ‘new’ in the product description - and get their product in a plain, clearly not retail, box? What’s up with that?
That’s cool. We like when people come back to share their experiences.
FYI: As long as the product seems to be in a new coneition, I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the brown vs retail box. Many of our sales are special buys that don’t come in retail boxes.
Good to know, TT. I’ve made quite a few purchases here, but never had a product listed as being in ‘new’ condition come in anything other than a retail box. I had another question for support - some other purchases that were listed as being included in the shipment that were not - so I will see what they have to say about this specific instance. Thanks for your response.
