I didn't know Vermont Castings was in the grille business

They make good stuff.
MtnBrz1, If you want a decent grille, go to a store that specializes in Grilles, not Home Depot. Spend the few extra dollars on it and you won't regret it. I picked up a Broil King from All-Town in Weymouth, and it's the best grille I've ever owned, well worth it.
I've had Sunbeams and Charbroils that wouldn't make it through two seasons waste of $, IMO
