You will be waiting a long time. :p

Does this come with mini oak barrels for us to toast? Part of a larger DIY wine making kit?

Smokey Joe ripoff. Granted, the real thing costs twice as much, but it's the real thing.

No mini raclette pans to go along with this (as seen on the packaging)?

Does it have vents in the bottom of the kettle like the Smokey Joe?

Whiskey
Tango
Fox

I don't get the correlation!?!?!? Olives and spices maybe, but a hibachi?

What's the drinking age on this?

W T H is going on around here?

Cheese Barbeclette with a really cheezy video.

OK, I get it. It's a Thunderbird decanter.

PLEASE tell me no one from WOOT! in Texas called this grill a Barbeque !

We live in a neighborhood with an association. Some might say, with justification, that that is a pretty stupid thing to do because all it takes is one stupidhead neighbor charring his patio for the authoritarian types who live for control over all and sundry to ban all charcoal burning devices. They assume that all of us are stupid and will eventually do the same. Perhaps they are right. After all we chose to live under an HOA; not exactly a brilliant decision...

So sorry, Woot!, no purchase for me today 'cause I stupidly live in a place where the actions of stupid people are used by powermad people to wrest away Prometheus' gift to our ancient ancestors.

We no longer have fire. Even Zeus and his cohorts could not take the mighty gift of the Titans from us. That took a homeowners' association.

Has anyone found any kind of review or price for this online? Is this a good price? Is this item well built, or a piece of crap?

I had no idea that people literally grilled cheese. I don't know what to do with my life now.

I have a store brand version of one of these. It's good for novelty use sure. I think mine was about $15-20 bucks.
Assembly is kind of tedious. and you need to store it indoors or cover it up with something, else it rusts out really quickly.

I'm agreeing here, this is one thing that it's worth paying the extra money on. I don't know the exact quality, but I can attest the Weber can be left outdoors, with charcoal in it, and get wet, and will not rust out after years of use. In fact, I like to hose off the coals when I'm done cooking if I had to add extra to finish, and use the mini coals to get the next set of coals going.

website, they seem to love cheese

Worth a W(h)ine..
It should get a boot.. not a woot..

How hard is this to assemble? I picked up a small, inexpensive BBQ at a big box store and could never figure out how to put it together. I knew I was doomed as soon as I saw that the stupid thing came with an ANVIL.

You tell 'em. Barbeque requires smoke. But here's how this can help. Use it for a charcoal pan for the cheapo Brinkmann water smoker.

That little smoker can give great results for the novice, but the consistency is a problem.

Check out this great page on how and why, then buy this grill, turn the legs around on the Brinkman, Mod's 1 and 2 are done.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet your newest woot-off killer. I shudder to think how long we'll be seeing these around.

LMAO

Is this some newfangled aerator? Do I have to add three bottles at once?

Okay, I'm a North Carolinian, and like all good TarHeels, I know barbeque involves cooking a pig.

I don't think even a pocket pig would fit on this!

Rebel, let your lawn go a centimeter over the requirement.

This appears to be the same low-cost charcoal grill my girlfriend bought at the dollar store, for half the cost. As cheap as it was, we have burned at least twice the charcoal cost in it so far this year. Though, I don't see this grill surviving it through a winter and passing a year of use before its time for the scrap pile.

Really?

How convenient. Yesterday a co-worker was showing me the video of George Goble pouring lox on a cheap charcoal bbq.

Yes, your briquettes will be ready in 3 seconds. No, your cheap bbq won't survive.

I got mine at Kroger for the same price in a pinch for tail gating. This really is a "throw away" grill. If you need something small and cheap, have at it. Don't expect this to last a long time. In fact, the heat from 1 day of grilling bent the metal and forever loosened the legs. Spend a few more bucks and get something better.
