Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

A very worthy cooker looks like.  Love to see some shots of a cook on it.

About $1500 nowadays from what I can figure............

Pardon my French but Holy Fuck, that's an actual, working web site and still available since '47 ... wow. It's like from the Land That Time Forgot. Never heard of this brand before.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

 Yeah, their website's been  up continuously since '47, the owners are ferociously loyal, maybe even more so than us.........see the "Testimonials" part of the site & I think they even have a FacePlant site, too............
"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "
    Covered, damper-controlled cooking.....IF YOU PLEASE !!!
