Let me guess, only Salt and Pepper and never sauce?

Of course. Standard sales practice. Gathering potential leads.

What? I thought this was a math contest? You mean all those years I spent getting that math degree aren't even going to get me a grill? Please, say it isn't so!

Of course its a marketing thing to get info, just like when you use your credit card. or whatever internet site you have visited to make a purchase. Does not mean the contest is not for real.

[Bluesman]

Not insinuating that the contest isn't real. I have a problem giving out, for example my phone number. I got rid of my land line because 90% of the calls were garbage. I don't need that on my cell. To much information requested. Just my $.02.

Which is why I give my landline. It NEVER gets answered. I only have it for emergencies when the cell network is out. It stays unplugged til those occasions arise.

Exactly.

Question. Does it come with a chip box and if so is it really large enough? I confess to not having watched the vid.

By chip box you mean the stainless steel smoker box for adding wood chunks? That is a separately sold accessory so I am sure it won't come with it. BUT, I have a few of them so if a member of the board wins let me know and I will be sure to get one to them. They seem to be a decent enough size. I would think one of them would be plenty big enough for the 30incher.

Hey that can be a hard question. A Mathematician may say four - and accountant could say "what would you like it to be".
