Cooking gurus: I want to get a grill!

[PAB]

Here's the thing, and some of you will think I'm full tilt insane.

My family takes food seriously. And we lost our grill in the hurricane. So, I'm feeling a bit saucy and I'd like to get a new grill pit so that I may grill steaks in my backyard, to the envy of my neighbors.

But instead of a regular wussy little weber - I want to have the closest grill possible to the old one. That happens to be a Bakers Pride F-72. That's got a grilling area of 69"x24" and weighs in at just under half a ton. Here's a picture! That's 250,000 BTU's of american pride!

It costs about $7,000, plus construction of the brick bbq pit to go around it.

Am I being over the top or would this totally be badass?

George Foreman USB iGrill should do the trick.

Stay away from Propane. Charcoal is the only way to go!

Cheap weber or make your own. I could make one badass grill for 7k including the brick surround/ brick oven..........and a patio to sit it on....

Bricks, cement, a metal grill, charcoal!

I totally agree.
Wtf is the point of a brick bbq pit if you're using gas? 😕

Now, I *know* you said you were involved in a hurricane, but I still have a hard time believing that a half-ton grill took off, never to be seen again 😛

If you're going to spend alot of $$$, get a Weber Ranch Kettle.

The ceiling collapsed on it in the garage and all the rainwater caused the surface to get rust-tastic.

I took it over to my welder and asked him if sandblasting was an option, but it was just too messed up.
