Jesus dude with 4 people that would be lucky to just cover the alcohol if me and 2 of my buds were with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Gibsons is also in Oak Brook ,up on the north shore and on the Vegas Strip. You no longer need to go into the city for a good meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtssrx Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 On 4/10/2017 at 10:11 AM, 02sled said: We just bought a Traeger Timberline 1300 last week which apparently is a new model for them. I'm looking forward to using it at the lake this summer. We'll take it north and assemble it in a few weeks. They definitely aren't cheap but we were able to buy direct from Traeger and saved a bunch. What did you pay if you dont mind me asking? also does everything you cook taste like wood? For instance i like thr grill chicken breasts i marinade in Italian dress from tine to time. I dont want woid flavor on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance i like thr grill chicken breasts i marinade in Italian dress from tine to time. I dont want woid flavor on that. The online price is $1999 US. My wife was at an event for manufacturers to show their products to the wholesale buyers and was able to buy it from one of the manufacturer account reps for $1350 at the end of the event. I guess he didn't really want to take it back with him. They were also cooking up samples and she said it tasted absolutely fantastic. https://www.traegergrills.com/shop/grills/timberline-series/timberline-1300/TFB01WLB.html Haven't used it yet so I don't know what it will taste like. It's still in the box and will likely be christened on our Victoria Day wknd. May 20 - 22 Edited April 11, 2017 by 02sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was completely blown away by the tomahawk at Mastros. It was on another level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
