Welcome from alien land! Gotcha beat by about 13 years. Age is mind over matter--IF you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Been grilling ALMOST as long as you've been alive--started a LONG time ago-early 50's. Still a CharBroil cast iron and charcoal man. Have a four burner gasser and an SRG, BUT, keep going back to the 940X and Kingsford charcoal.
