What's the delivery delay now on the PG500?

Well, if there is a delay it's usually parts.

If you're concerned, just call them tomorrow I'm sure they'll give you and update.

Well I got the answer to the delivery delay question. Ordered a PG500 on 10/31 and shipping date is estimated to be around 11/13, so the backlog is about two weeks. Not too long and it gives me time to reread posts and look-up new recipes.

I ordered mine in October and had it in 7 days!

Email today says I can expect delivery Monday of next week. I'm already thinking of what I'm going to cook first.

What are your suggestions for the first few cooks. What are the cooks that will really convince my wife that this is really a great idea?

Ribs.

The new PG500 arrived today. After a two hour burn-in, I did a couple of steaks. They were very good, but I did learn that you have to get those doors closed or you will quickly dump all the heat. Wife thought the steaks were "Damn good."

I do have a issue with the front casters. I installed them (they are idiot proof), but find that the added height (just shy of two inches) makes the grill tilt noticeable. Will see if it effects cooking/performance before I decide what to do.

Got out the emery cloth to knock off the edges off the laser cut pieces. Boy are they sharp.

Think that the front shelf is going to work out well. Its very convenient to have a place to park food on the way to the grill.

More later.
