    I have never had the oportunity to see one of this grills in person. Wich one looks better? Which one do you prefer?
    I kind of like the recess look of the satoshi but I like the easier installation of the Grill Craft.
    decided to with the satoshi after all lots of work took me about 2 weeks hardest part was the sanding

    WHen I get home I plan on knocking out a satoshi. They look sick, especially with some DL mounted behind them behind em. There are quite a few detailed writeups to be found. Some people even put in really really cheap mesh and it still looks good.
