New grill suggestion

[blake]

I'm picking nits a bit with these guys, but I'm not a fan of the lid design, unless I'm missing something. I don't want to pull the tray out every time I need to flip something. Im otherwise a big fan of the design and price…...

Plenty of room to flip, if you remove the top rack (you'll still be over double the square inches of a 22 kettle). Myself, I don't mind the slide, as reaching over the front table to the back of the grill is a pretty long distance.

Like you I wanted a rectangular grill. I chose the PK360.

Anyone have experience with the Yoder Abilene 20? There's a local dealer.

The legacy 131:

I'd love to see one in person.

lol yea it says "firebox" but it's just a play on words. It really a charcoal tray. I love the adjustable feature of it and I made a fire basket for mine similar to the drums but rectangular 9x13x7. I can throw two 12-15 lb briskets indirect in the legacy and take a four hour nap. The basket really just helps have a much longer burn time, usually 6-7 hours depends on wind maybe a little longer.
A firebox in Texas has a whole different meaning lol, just sayin.

Still overall just saying that bang for the buck the Legacy is hard to beat, ain't none of the really good grills out there that are inexpensive for sure.

Lots of really great options out there for sure and I always say you should asses what you like to cook the most and how much do you plan to cook on a regular basis.

I like their stuff, but that's smaller than I want to have, especially at 50% over budget after "crating fee" and freight. The M36 looks killer, but that's triple my budget when it comes out.
