I've seen the Vermont Castings at Lowes... Also the Jenn-Air brand...
They're pretty good, but I figured that I could design my own and it would
be even better since I'm not worried about how much it might weigh during
shipping... Yeah, it weighs a ton, but it's not going anywhere...

Hmmm,
Most all of them have made in China part(s) in the box. Any how, I got
them off my Air Mile catalog. Mid quality ones.

They have a better line sold by other outlets. They are a bit more heavy
duty. Used to be made in Canada when I bought mine, but I don't know if
they still are.

My experience is the better quality models do better no matter what
design or age.

I'd also like to hear an "experts" opinion on steel heat
dissipators versus lava rock.

I suspect it will make little difference in taste with only real
charcoal having the unequalled taste advantage.

Perhaps the drippings burn differently (at a different rate) on a
steel dissipator compared to lava rock, imparting a different
flavour.

(Personally I buy a $200.00 barbecue every 4 years or so and use it
2-3 times a week all year. It would take 24 years for a $1200.00
barbeque to equal that payback)
