So I am just going to put it in a separate thread! I will do this in a few posts so it isn't so overwhelming!
When we ran a gas line to our grill the plan was to hook up Natural gas to it so we didn't have to make sure we had enough propane. However, when we hooked it up, we discovered that the grill was not compatible with Natural Gas! So in order to not make the cost of running the line a total waste, we decide that now we have to get another grill.
First order of business, talk to Walmart about returning the one we bought a month ago. Told them the whole story, they say that's fine, bring back the old grill (even though we've used it a lot) and they will just defect it and refund our money. That is a $250 grill.
Second, go to Sears and find a grill that will work with both kinds of gas. Find a nice one, and it is on sale for $399 (regular $469) with free assembly. So I go home to research it on Consumer Reports and it turns out it is a CR Best Buy. Done deal, I'm getting it. I order it online for merchandise pick up because they won't deliver an assembled grill. But there is nowhere to tell them I want it assembled, so after I order it, I call and talk to someone who emails the store manager, gives them my order info and tells them I want it assembled.
Also, ordering it online gave me another $25 off, so now it's costing me $374 plus tax.
