Check out Grandpa's blog.

I was catching up with blogs after getting back, and noticed that Dad has set one up about Grandpa.

The most recent post is really interesting - a story about Grandpa saving a guy from back when Marty was a kid.

Everybody come! Come now!

It looks like because of the current uncertainty resulting from last night's election, the pound sterling is dropping like a stone against the dollar.

Maybe we should relocate Hornucopia to the UK? Only oil over here is in our engines and politics...

Are we going to Wii?

Where is the Horn Wii at the moment? Is it in Clemson?

Will it be coming to Hornucopia 2010?

Looking for opinions - charcoal grills

Mark and I are in the market for a BBQ grill, now that we have some place outside to put it. Although it would be nice to have the convenience of gas, I think we want to go with charcoal for the flavor. Plus I think I might try smoking meat some time - I found a place here in the UK that sells wood chips, including hickory and others.

But I'm having a hard time deciding what shape to get.

So far the ones I like are:

Weber Traditional (everyone seems to love it; it has a lid; you can buy lots of accessories to go with it; maybe a bit more expensive because of brand - not sure if that's worth it?; no adjustable grill levels, but does have the air vents to regulate temperature; pretty easy to clean, I think)

Barbecook basic or master (it's a Belgian brand, but looks really convenient to use; and it looks pretty; but I'd either have to have smaller cooking space, or it's a bit more expensive; it doesn't have a lid, but it does have adjustable grill levels; really easy to clean; but do Belgians really know about grilling, I mean, really?)

Kingsford bullet smoker (it's a smoker, but can be used as a grill as well; I guess would be better if I was going to smoke more than grill)

Non-brand barrel shape (cheapest option; has lots and lots of grill shape; can either use the lid or not; doesn't have adjustable grill levels and I'm not sure if it has air vents; more difficult to clean)

What kind of grill does everyone have? Do you like it? Thoughts?
