No need to reply. I found it.
http://www21.shopping.com/xPO-Lodge-...an-s-Grill-410 I didn't search
for "Lodge Sportsman 410 Charcoal" . This looks like a good searing grill,
as it's cast iron, and would hold heat well. I'd guess it's great for
searing a couple of NY strips. The Trader Joe's 100% hardwood briquettes
contain cornstarch, nothing else. It seems briquettes would be good for a
small grill like the Lodge.
