Getting ready for the warm weather, I am shopping around for barbecue grills.
So far I am pretty much set on the weber this one

my last grill was bought from kmart years ago for like 40 bucks, I guess my question for the experts out there is that if these weber ones are worth the money and what are some other alternative brands that you might recommend?

Buddhist manji (outside India only) after the mid-20th century are almost universally left-facing: ?. This form of the manji is often found on Chinese food packaging to signify that the product is vegetarian and can be consumed by strict Buddhists. It is often sewn into the collars of Chinese children's clothing to protect them from evil spirits.

This had nothing to do with nazis.

Are you implying that grills are vegetarian items? Or that you're trying to protect this post from evil spirits?
:confused:

It's a poor choice. It could be construed that all you're doing is exploiting the image to get some attention to this thread.

Anyway, I bought a last-year's-model Charbroil grill from Home Depot for $150, down from $300. It's an awesome grill. I would check there and maybe Sears and Lowes to see if they're still trying to clear out their old stock of grills first.

Apparently the font that you're using doesn't have that character.

Those swatstikas are a symbol of peace and love - look carefully..they're the reverse of what you're used to seeing.

Doesn't really matter, the OP got the reaction he was looking for.

Yeah, the Buddhists really should have put more effort into defending their IP back in the day. Now it's mostly ruined.

Consider it an unfortunate example of the effectiveness of the use of violent force.
