A buddy of mine called me from Target "Dude, they got an orange Weber kettle here at Target for 129.99" I grabbed my wallet and I am down the road to Target.
Well, it was not a Weber, it was a model by STOK that is a Weber kettle copy-cat. But after giving the grill the hairy eye-ball, this is not a bad thing.
The grill has a cast iron cooking grate with a removable center section where you can add a griddle or pizza stone. It also has its own charcoal starting basket that sits in the center of the grill. You set a lighter starter cube on the charcoal grate and your coals light in its own basket. You then use this tool to lift it out and your coals are settin on the charcoal grate. Now I get to thinking, you could leave this basket in place and "Circle the wagons: for a nice hot indirect cook for chicken pcs or even burgers.
The Target Associate whispered in my ear and said "If you buy it on-line, you don't pay tax"
I went home and used my Red card from Target and got an additional 5% off, free shipping and no sales tax...Score!!
So my Kingsford charcoal was almost as costly as this grill and the Old Country from Academy.....I saved a boat load of money buying them on=line...I just gotta wait a week or two for them to get here.......
Here is the link to STOK, you can even download the owners manual for a better description of the grill if you are interested...
