Spark Grills - fad or the next big thing?

I like that!
Looks like a game changer.

My first thought was how much are their briq's going to be. Under the FAQs it just says about as much as a quality back of lump coal.

The technology seems pretty cool but it seems to lacks the convenience & conventional characteristics of grills that are currently on the market.

Huh. Intriguing. I'd definitely wait around for some initial reviews and consider it. 800 bucks is cheap if it's what they say it is.

Masterbuilt gravity series should solve this.

Uses regular charcoal, does all the same things, it has more space, it isn't 800 dollars.

Damn. Now I have a new wishlist item.

From their FAQs

It only has 368 sq. in. of cooking area. That’s pretty small.

I wonder if there will be briqs by competitors. Looks like cleanup will be a breeze. No clogs in the auger. No chimney starter needed. Definitely on the radar.

The business plan is to make much more money off the bricks then the pit. you are locked into that company if they are the only ones that can provide the fuel to use the pit.

Will you be locked in? If this is as good as it looks, there will be other similar grills on the market pdq. They won't be able to gouge on the briqs for long.

I want to see if it is as good as advertised, and how smoky it is. I see an opportunity for a competitor to make something like this only it allows you to add wood for smoking.
