If your commited to BBQ HERESY..then not only do you need to look for Cat Iron or Brass Burners but pay attention to the gauge of metal used in the SS shell. I have noticed the cheaper Home Depot and Costco type grills use thinner metal. Not only do you lose something in heat retention but it is easier to dent.

I have looked at the Costco and Sams Club Meat Burners and they look to be decent to me...


However it is needless for me to state which side of the coin I am on..I would say, heads but Mother being Mother would say, "your on the a$$ side of the coin." Anyway I digress talking about my personal problems, we are talking about Grills, I am a purist. I have gone to buying 40 lb Bags of Mesquite Harwood Charcoal for $12 a bag. and have used nothing but those Can style lighters for 25 years. NO Lighter fluid taste on my burgers thank you.

Joey is right about the light up time. the worst of it is youget your hands dirty from putting the charcoal in the Lighter can, of course your not supposed to roll around in the stuff first. Have to remember no rolling around in the hardwood charcoal before lighting. Hmmm maybe a post it on the refer will do it????
