As much as I've wanted to own a gas grill, I've never bought one. Star has never bought me one either...per my request. She has asked several times, but my response is always the same, "...we don't have the money." This is not another post on money, at least I don't think so, so please read on.
When I told her (and myself) we didn't have the money, I meant we didn't have $3000 to buy the "Cat Daddy Grill", AKA the Napoleon Prestige II PT750rsbi Gemini Gas Grill (pictured above), or something similar.
I didn't want some $200 or $300 dollar deal. I wanted the top of the line, invite all your friends over, have plenty of space left, jaw dropping, sparkle in the sun, boil some corn on the side, spin a chicken, cook a steak, grill some hamburgers, all at the same time 'Gas Grill'...or the "Cat Daddy Grill"
So in 13 years of marriage, I have never owned a gas grill...until yesterday.
With 6 kids and a missionary salary, it was becoming clear that my "dream grill" was never going to happen. So when I came across a garage sale yesterday morning and saw a 'slightly used' Weber I decided to pull the trigger. Check it out...
The seller had it marked at $25...I offered him $20...he threw in a good John Eldredge book as a bonus, and 8 hours later I was grilling hamburgers in my back yard. It wasn't stainless steel, no neighbors were over, and I struggled to fit my 8 hamburger patties on the side of the grill that burned the hottest. But...I was grilling on my own gas grill.
As I sat and ate my hamburger without first having to wash the charcoal and lighter fluid smell off my hands, I found myself wondering why I waited so long to buy a grill. I love my new grill!
Here's to grilling in awesome weather this Fall!
