John deserves most of the credit here,
. All I did was harass the seller, send some paypal money, bug Marty for your address which I had lost, check on the status of the shipment, harrass John AND his brother some more, give some mediocre advise, etc etc etc.
So glad that it appears to have arrived in good shape!
The good news is, at the end of the day, we MIGHT get JCnAZs brother involved in kettle cooking. The poor guy met the seller and picked up the grill for us, and delivered it to John for eventual shipment. Hopefully that indoctrination as a grillfella is enough. But if not....I think he may be getting a reward as well........
