Vilicci grills

[jfmorris]

Actually, looking at the specs, the cooktop is 39 inches in diameter. The grate in the center is 17". So this thing is much larger than I had imagined. I had been looking at it picturing the size of a kettle grill, when its more like the Ranch kettle in diameter.

The rotisserie is disappointing though - the skewers are probably 16 inches long, but the rotisserie also only holds 5 pounds... and is manual only, with locking at every 90 degrees.

Be sure to let us know how the tiny manual rotisserie works out for you!

This seems like a really good deal. Might buy one.

I imagine this is some designer's idea of a grill. One of the most impractical designs I've ever seen.

They look cool, but not so much in operation. I don't see a convenient way to add charcoal and wood without removing that plancha top with some welding gloves! And.... what's the point of a wood and charcoal fire when most of the cooking is done on a plancha surface all the time, with a tiny grate in the middle?

I think if I want this grill, I'll get a nice Weber instead and throw one of those Arteflame inserts on it! And that tiny rotisserie over the hole in the middle? Haha. Maybe you can spin a Cornish hen over it?

[Spinaker]

Wow, these looks really cool. I love all of that stainless.

Priced at just the right price point to pay off that CNC machine quickly.

In my case it would have to hold two, cuz that’s all I would eat. That was my supper last night, 2 hot dogs.
Mmmm, Smokey Joe or Vilicci, Smokey Joe or Vilicci. I’ll have to sleep on it.

I wonder how many ballpark franks that thing could hold...

[GolfGeezer]

Well, Come On guys! It comes with a 10 year warranty. But you have to order your own marshmallows, Hersey's chocolate and graham crackers....

I've been dealing with European companies over the last few months, and I believe they would only charge VAT if you were in Europe. US folks wouldn't be charged VAT, or at least, they'd be able to get a refund if so.

Speaking as someone who has made a few recent transactions and avoided VAT..

[STEbbq]

So now I know what grills are bought solely for looks and are never actually to be used. Kinda of like the SubZero fridges...

This is for people with more money than brains. (sorry)

[Uncle Bob]

VAT is for the politicians reelection fund (aka Value Added Tax)

I see that the grill cost about 13,000 USD. Ok go for it if you like it but who the f@#$ is VAT and why do they want 3500???
