Game over, as of this afternoon. After getting formal approval, I bought the 26" Weber One-Touch with the cover, a charcoal chimney, a set of tongs, a BBQ turner, and a grill brush for $410.82. I still have about $90, so I will get a few pounds of charcoal to go along with it.
Thanks for all your input. I am thinking about a surprise cook at our next club meeting. SPAM!! I have several flavors of Spam, so I thought I might cook some up and then slice into cubes and serve with toothpicks. Maybe even throw a few MOINKS on the grill.
