    So Colour Me Skeptical

    This showed up as an ad in my FB feed. Cool looking unit, but for $198 and no branding? Hmmm...

      I think it may have been that price when I first clicked it as well. I blame my poor memory. :-)

    $109.99 when I clicked on it

      I'm thinking the difference is Canadian vs USD.

        That would make it about $83US

        ComfortablyNumb - It's the other way around. Here in the US, we see $109USD. He's seeing $198CDN ... which is probably a combination of the cost ($142CDN) plus more expensive shipping.

      Gets weirder. I just clicked through the But It Now option and it indicates free shipping. I find that really hard to believe. Though for $109 USD, I'm wondering if it would be worth a shot. :-)

        It looks like the wheels are a hundred bucks & I don’t care Canadian or U.S..

      "Heavy duty locking handles make it feel extremely high-quality." FEEL extremely high quality?? Odd phrasing...

      Down to $109 now. Looks pretty flimsy to me. I'll let someone else take first crack at it and report back...

        not odd at all, nowadays, in online product descriptions, adverts. specs, etc.;I run across this (an note it) most every day.
        Simply poor translation, is what I chalk it up to.
        It's a given, that I'm Strange, but most times, I find th grammatic or syntactic mistranslations to be kinda entertainin...

        I did some more searching and it appears to be a Louisiana Grills Champion, which has an MSRP of $1,899.99 USD!

          I've DM'd Louisiana Grills over Twitter to let them know about this.

          If you look close, you can just barely make out the name "Louisiana" in one of the photos.

        I was going to pass, but then I saw that a bottle opener was included...

          I, fer one, am Most Impressed with yer Prioritization, Good Sir!

          Without a viable means, or method to open bottles, we are reduced to nuthin more than "Beer Admirers", vs.: "Beer Users" lol!!!

        Probably the same Chinese factory that supplies Harbor Tools

          Why is everyone so skeptical? It says "ultimate" grill. My WSM doesn't say "ultimate." Does yours???

          Just be sure to provide all your credit card information, and while you are at it, throw in your mother’s maiden name.🙂

            in order to bolster th above information, I'd haveta recommend givin em yer SSN, as well; speeds up th inevitable process that's bout to ensue...

          It is a scam site. https://sheinreviews.com/frtyusgf/ Don't sweat the quality of the grill. You won't get anything delivered at all.

          They simply STOLE the picture of the Louisiana Grills LG champion which sells for $1899 (see https://louisiana-grills.com/lg-champion-wood-pellet) and pretend to sell it cheap. You give them the cc number and they are gone to the races...

            So, you're saying I'm not gonna get the three I ordered?

          #14
          If it is legit the left a zero off of the price which was my first thought. Otherwise it is a scam of some kind. Let’s all keep our money.
