I'm a Grillaholic!
« Reply #-1 on: July 22, 2012, 05:05:33 PM »
For almost 30 years I had a charcoal barrel smoker/ grill as my only outdoor cooker.
7 years ago my family gave me a gas grill for fathers day (2).
4 years ago got a clearance Char-Broil double chef ( a verticle air regulated cooker , think WSM) (3)
About 3 years ago got a SRG ( infared poultry cooker) (4)
Two years ago discovered a Craigslist app that made it easy to check on things for sale.
Found a Weber Q220 (old style ) RED on e-bay for sons tailgating
Bought a WSM in great condition for $100 (5)
Found a Vermont Castings for $100 , discontinued & needed a few minor repairs , easy to make (gave to son)
Friend gave me a double chef he never used ( free) did a few things & gave to nephew.
Got a char broil 500 X on Clearence  for tailgating (6)
Made a mini smoker for tailgating & camping (7)
Got a charbroil electric big easy prototype (8)
Got a deal on a charbroil CB-740X  ( a heavy duty small charcoal grill) (9)
Got a charbroil electric big easy (9)
Found a free gasser for hunt camp that needed heat deflectors & a new ignitor.
Wife Bought at retail ($300) a Chargriller Kamodo & gave me for birthday ( last grill) (10)

LA I would have that many also, but the costs of divorce lawyers is prohibitive. You have an understanding wife.

Deck is big, seven cookers actually fit around the perimeter & look good & easily access able.
Just gave my WSM to my daughter & her significant other.
Taking my Saints decorated double-chef to the bar where we watch away games for the season.
The mini smoker & cb-500 are stored for camping in garage.

Pam its built like a tank, weighs like 140 lb for a small cooker.
Cooking area between a 18 & 22 in weber.
Love the fold down shelves. Big enough to grill for a group & I've used to smoke a butt, a chicken , 3 racks ribs,
When we downsize it's probably going with me.
If I can't make last 15-20 years I'll be surprised ( cutting boards excluded)
I think it's an orphan cooker however :-[

Got way too many myself, cause my wifey 20 years ago discovered that these toys/tools kept my dumb ass at home, rather than doing the things with the boy's  like hunting, fishing and dirt bike riding. Always room for a new cooker. To this day I keep a wish list of future cookers whenever finances permit.
