re: I hate steaks cooked on a grill.

As I've said, I would gladly accept one as a gift. They just don't do anything I can't already do with my "shitty" equipment. Every person who has one sounds exactly like you. Like you are trying to justify something to yourself. My point was simply that while they light fast with less charcoal, the food tastes the same coming off one as it does coming off of any cheap grill/smoker anywhere. If that's worth it to you, kudos.
