Title: Smoking deal on a portable grill at Home Cheapo(pics)
Post by: paulcjhastings on July 07, 2008, 11:56:39 AM
I was in Home Depot yesterday looking at water heater since the one in my house was leaking and saw this portable grill.

Brinkman model #810-7490-s

Four burners, foldout side tables, folds down, and has wheels for transport only $49

Thos grills used to as much as $199 if my memory serves me.  At least they were way more than $49.  they must not be selling well as the price keeps going down and down.

I wish I had seen these before I built my own grill for the bus.  A decent deal even at the higer price.

Not avail at my local store & not on-line   :(

Must be an obsolete item they are clearing off their shelves. . .

Looks like a good deal tho.

Brian,
I think they were orginally $180. They are pretty well suited for stuffing into a bay, I wasn't really looking but I couldn't walk by a deal this good.

Kyle,
I got the last one in a box at my local store, 4th of july has passed all grills will be selling cheap now.

They have been reducing the price on that grill since last fall or winter.  I think it was a left over from last year.

Got one of those last year for my bus. Fits in the bay real nice now all I have to do is figure
out some sort of slid drawer mechanism :)

   Also need to figure out how to fit my lid on my soon to be retired barby on this grill

  I still don't feel bad about paying full price - 10% sale........You got a great deal
congrats!

At that price, you would be ahead to buy a second one and keep it for a replacement (if you have room in a building and not fulltiming).  Even as a parts unit.  Each burner is probably $20 to replace.  Like the folding design and stainless!
