    Ha, ha, but you’d probably get more agreement if you were serious.

    Not my favorite aftermarket grill but it does at least cut down on debris size which was my first priority.

    If I’m honest about time spent just about any am grill is cheap by comparison but the one thing am can’t buy is true uniqueness. Diy doesn’t protect you from #selfinflictedfugly though.
