The sad part of these is that they are not even good BBQs/grills.

To operate it you have to stand in from of the bumper. That means that to flip the meat you have to reach an additional 12 to 18 inches to reach the cooking area. The additional reach length means that you have less leverage and are more likely to drop the meat or have it slip down into the flame area.
Because of the fenders you cant readily access the cooking area from the side. This means that you cannot have an assistant cook the corn or stir a pot of beans.

Pulling the meat from the cooking area will insure that you will get drippings on the 'radiator'- bumper area and cleaning it would always be difficult. Leading to an unsanitary situation and foul smells.

Then how would you move such a thing. I guess it could sit stationary in your yard but you could never take it to a park or other recreational area. In fact just moving it around the yard would be a hassle.

I guess that's why you always see these things in brand new condition. They are impossible to use and if you did you could never make it look nice again.

Yes, looks nice, but it has to be the most useless BBQ I have ever seen.

Where would one put the tail lights when towing it?

Hey, if your wife will put up with it, go for it. But she might want it painted pink. (Mountain Laurel.) Her likely reaction, "You paid HOW MUCH for that?"

Yeah, but sometimes, the reason the husband Carks it, is because the wife knew/found out.... its an evil circle, very evil.
