I think I'm going to be grilling quite a bit more now! I cooked a chicken breast 2 days ago and it came out perfect. No burns, super juicy...best I've ever had come off a gas grill. Then last night the wife and I made a quesadilla meal we haven't made in a while. She bought some strips of chicken and fajita packets and I basted the chicken while I grilled them. Those came out perfect as well. I've been missing out all these years with these cheap grills. I noticed on my old one that the heat dispersers/flavor bars were way too close to the grates and were relatively flat so stuff would fall on them and stay and burn up. I would always have trouble with flare ups and would have to babysit while I grilled. The flavorizer bars on the Weber are angled enough to where everything falls to the bottom of the grill and doesn't start a fire. Plus they're far enough from the grates so if they did flare it wouldn't torch the meat. Makes me wonder what the heck the designers of those other grills were thinking.
Speaking of more recommendations, I have a semi-big lot for my house and had been using a self-propelled mower. That can be so exhausting with a 110+ heat index that I would usually cut my front yard one weekend and the back another. I had an appendectomy in July that didn't go so well, and my dad brought over his old riding mower and let me use it for the rest of grass-cutting season once I was able to go home. I'm thinking of buying one for myself and was thinking of a Troy-Bilt like this:

Anyone have any better recommendations? I'm guessing cutting grass is manly so it can stay in this thread
