eBay grille is just a Michael T Grille wanna-be. :roll:

Fuel Ionizer is crap.

2. Fuel ionizer is absolute nonsense/garbage

ok so the grille isn't that attractive and you can get it at home depot? Also, where are you guys getting your grilles (given I'm cheap and don't have tons of $$ to flail around)?

*sigh*

Well, when I use the little "Search" link at the top of the page and type in "Custom Grille" I get a plethora of choices, ranging from home-made options ($) to Trenz ($$$)

One of the favs here in SG has been Michael T's grilles and nicely made for the $

unlike you, some of us get nothing but every post in the forum when we search for anything, so we don't bother :) . Can you link me with some home-made grilles people make, I want to see how they look and how they did it, thanks a ton!

P.S. I still haven't gotten my confirmation email for a day on the backyard solaraguy forums, what gives?

Gee - didn't know I had some kind of "Magical Search" skillz! :o

I only follow the directions. If you want to find posts on "Custom Grille" then type it in the little box where it says and choose the button for "Search for all terms" - that will narrow it down so you don't get every post with the individual words.

If you know how to "Google" then you can probably figure out the Search function. ;)

lol! Yuo must because you are so popular here that you use it all the time the right way. It's different than google b/c I can't use quotes, type certain things in (like everything except such word), ect. Anyways, I'll be sure to search with those more often, thanks!
