Whenever you host a BBQ party, the grilling job always is the boring task. That's why Memphis created the Memphis Barbecue Grill where everyone would be bouncing n' jiving, rockin n' rollin while grilling. It has two powerful gas burners, an audio plug at the back that lets you hook up to your MP3 player and speakers at the 1950's styled front. It is quite expensive but your BBQ party will never be this fun... unless of course you buy a stereo and put it BESIDE your BBQ.
