  …at Costco today, Santa Maria “fun-size”* wood-or-charcoal grills, with the endlessly-fascinating manual rotating lifter. Yours for just $149.99!

Here’s big brother, at $299:

  
Well, I can beat that:

  
Size matters! What you see here is a custom grill, easily half again the size of the Costco one, crafted by a nice young fella named Josh in the Santa Barbara hills. It starts with a 55-gallon drum and goes from there.  

Custom touches we picked include casters on all four corners, side and end mesh shelving, full mesh bottom with extra reinforcing, and the wife’s and my initials at top (click to embiggen). $400 and I’m happy with the pricing. Just what I needed to try an Ike Steak.

And yes, the shelves serve double duty for the menfolk to rest our beverages post-feast while playing with the rotating handle. 

*that’s a shout out to my fellow losers of the late, lamented SFRedbook site, shut down by the Feds, those bluenose haters. Shoreline AMP FTW! etc.
