Look at this cool grill I just bought for my backyard.

[Midlodemocrat]

That is going to be awesome for the summer!!!

:woohoo:

[tandot]

1. That is not a grill

that is a whole outdoor kitchen.

I am so envious
:cry:

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Isn't it cool?

It's the end of a six month or longer backyard project. We hardscaped, landscaped, put in a fireplace, hot tub, and seating and now the piece de resistance!!!

(And, it's not that much, $2299 at Sam's, but don't tell anyone that is where I found it)

[tandot]

3. Yes, it looks great. Enjoy it!!!

[rocktivity]

4. Gas, charcoal, or both?

:P
rocknation

[Midlodemocrat]

6. LP. I think you can get it with NG, but I didn't want to go that route.

Additional expense, plus more time to plumb the ine.

[AllegroRondo]

49. I have NG, and I love it.

no worries about going out for tanks, or running out of gas halfway through cooking.

[Maineiac]

5. Where's Bobby Flay?

An awesome cooking center that should come with it's own chef.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. LOL. I know.

I hope I'm up to the challenge!

[Guava Jelly]

8. I'll be over for Hot dogs

:)
thats schweet!

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Isn't it? I've been looking for a while, but I wanted one with a

bar surround and they can go for up to $20,000, so no way.

I'm excited because we'll also put some sort of pergola or structure over it for lighting and fans to keep the bugs away.

We grill a LOT during the summer, but this will make it a tad more pleasant.

[swimboy]

47. I want to bring some ribs over.

and yes, I know what I'm doing!

That is really impressive. :9

[JackBeck]

10. Wow.

When I show this to Mr. JackBeck he'll probably start to drool.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. When you come visit me, we'll sit outside, grill and drink mojitos!

[JackBeck]

38. Sounds like a date!

[swimboy]

48. I wanna be there.

If sniffa is coming let's get pedicures!

[Mrs.Matcom]

11. Schwinggggggg!!

Midlo, that is awesome! You will make matcom very jealous!!! LOL!!! He only has a smoker and a gas grill. He drools every time we go to Lowe's and he sees these big boys! You must PM him all the details, it will make him cry like a little girl because winter just returned to our area in the form of five inches of white crap with ice on top!

:rofl: :hug:

[Midlodemocrat]

17. LOL.

This is the unit





*whispering*

(At Sam's Club)

:rofl:

I couldn't believe it when I found it last night. I was googling all over Hell's Half Acre and voila.

[Mrs.Matcom]

34. Oh so pretty!!

My dad and sister have stainless grills from Sam's and they love them. They have also held up very well. My dad's sits outside on his deck right on the coast of Maine!! All he does it make sure it is covered and there is no rust on it. He has had it for three years I think.

I want pictures of the first 'christening' cookout! :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Ooh - shades of Will Pitt's $600 dinner! I wonder where this will go...

I am drooling over that grill - wow! I'd love something like that outdoors. Especially if I had a great big patio and a nice yard to really enjoy it in.

Droooooooool.....


:popcorn:

[Midlodemocrat]

15. We don't have a big yard, but we just redid the patio over the fall

winter in brick and I have to say, the guys did a fantastic job. We have some low walls with flowers, bushes, etc., and then a place in the corner for the trampoline :eyes:

Then, we have a big flat part where we're putting the hot tub and then this guy.

I can't wait. Instead of moving to a bigger place, we added on here and made improvements and boy, it has really paid off for our quality of life.

[johnnie]

13. Wow..I'm jealous

That is awesome! I live by my grill in the summer, and sneak out there now and again during winter too. I would love to have one of those. Happy grillin'!

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Psst.

Don't tell the WalMart haters, but it's only $2299 at Sam's Club. Backyard Creations here wanted $4500 for just a grill without the bar and stools. This is a GREAT deal.

Granite countertops, built in grill, Ice chest, trash bin, drawers for stuff PLUS the four chairs.

I thought it was an amazing deal when I saw it online last night.

[malta blue]

18. You are one lucky lady Midlo!

That is beautiful! What time should we be there?

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Delivery time is about 2 weeks, or so they say.

:eyes:

Then God knows how long to get Mr. Midlo and BoyMidlo to set it up.

I'm hoping by the first week of April.

This outdoor room thing is really catching on down here. It's trendy, so people love it and there are a lot of items to pick from.

We installed a gorgeous marble fireplace on our patio this winter for $600!!!! If you time it right, the stuff is actually pretty reasonable.

[Burma Jones]

20. Wait, you mean to tell me that you ain't some dead beat Librul??

we ain't supposed to have the wherewithal to buy stuff like that......unless you are one of those Limousine Libruls....

:sarcasm:


That's a very nice lookin' get up. Enjoy the Summer.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. It's been a long time coming.

Instead of moving to something bigger we added on and renovated a bit. And, fortunately, when my FIL came to live with us, we had an extra bedroom, which was just an incredible stroke of luck.

The houses I had been looking at prior to adding on were just 4-5 bedrooms with an office. We wouldn't have had the room to put my FIL if we hadn't finished our third floor.

Now both of us have an office, which is great because we're both on the phone all the time and everyone has their own room, (except the two of us, of course)

Then because we couldn't grow grass in the back yard to save our life due to a lot of trees behind us that weren't in our yard, we hardscaped a bit of it and put in some furnishings, a fireplace and now this grill.

It's made a huge difference in our living space.

[matcom]

21. SAM'S CLUB??????!!!111

that is WAL-MART :grr:

can I come over and play with it? can I??

CAN I?????1111

[Midlodemocrat]

22. SHHHHH!!! You damn masshole!!!

Of course you can. IF and ONLY IF you bring the Missus!!!!

:bounce:

Nice huh? Especially for the money!

[matcom]

27. made in china. check.

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Yup.

But it has solid granite countertops, and a pretty decent grill.

The Other outdoor kitchens I saw with a bar were at least $7500, some as high as $20,000.

So, this is a bargain.

:bounce:

[matcom]

36. i can't get one of those

until I get a patio built :cry:

[SKKY]

23. Oh come on!!!

You took a picture of the set of Bobby Flay's show "Boy Meets Grill". I don't think I'd ever use the kitchen if I had that.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. LOL. That's the plan.

But seriously, check out the link I posted to Mrs.Matcom. Not that much $$$$

[UrbScotty]

25. Where do you live, so I can visit you?

;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

26. LOL.

Check my profile.

But, it won't be here for at least 2 weeks.

:bounce:

[WindRavenX]

29. omg

Goddamn that's insane. Invite me over--I'll cook some orgasmic bbq salmon steaks :D

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Sure. Anytime.

:bounce:

It's not that insane, actually. $2299 at Sam's. (don't tell anyone)

[WindRavenX]

31. lol, for a colleg student, 2,300 is an obscene amount of money

I think of that money and I think of myself swimming in dollar bills...thinking of all the beer and pizza and pot I could buy :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

32. LOL. I remember those days very well, my friend.

Now I'm getting ready to send my eldest to college in a year, and for some reason $2300 doesn't seem like the huge hit it used to.

I must be getting addled in my old age. :rofl:

[Mrs.Matcom]

35. Not addled...

just using your money wisely! Just like I thought 7 thousand wasn't much for a new roof!!

[matcom]

39. or 5k for a new scooter

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

43. What about zero K for a greyhound?

:hide:


Or 1K for TeenMidlo and her show choir?

:eyes:

Gotta love public schools.

[GoneOffShore]

37. When are you doing your own cooking show

on the Food Network.

I bet you'd beat Rachel Ray into a jelly.

Looks great.

I, by the way, cook a mean cassoulet. In fact there's one in the oven right now. We're feeding 13 people tomorrow night.

[GOPisEvil]

40. Jesus!! That thing HUGH!!11!!1

Very nice though.

[Midlodemocrat]

45. I can't wait!!

How've you been?

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Holy wow! Go you!

:bounce:

So, when should I expect my invite in the mail? :D

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

44. LOL. I'll PM you when it gets here.

I better de crud my feet first, though, for you know who!

:rofl:

[Shine]

42. Looks great!! When are you hosting the lounge BBQ??

:D

I'll bring the wine and some salmon.

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

46. I'll make an announcement when it gets here!

:P

[swimboy]

50. One kick so your grill thread catches fire.

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. Fucking elitist.

People like you make me sick.

Hehe.

So when are you inviting me over for a BBQ?
