We got it at a fire sale in Fargo for just under 200 dollars. Grilling outside is pretty tuff for about nine months of the year up there. Folks buy them and never use them enough to warrant the investment. We have already used it more since we have been home in Arkansas then we did in all the years we had it in Fargo. It is tuff to hold 170 degrees for hours on end when it is twenty below!
