BBQ Many people in Colombia sell Arepa's from their houses. The grill that they use to cook them would be OK for BBQing. The ones made out of 50 gallon drums are great for bigger parties. I want to build a brick BBQ with a lowerable grill.

Need to have your own BBQ A typical Texas South BBQ Meal

Take your favorite sauce recipe.

BBQ I forget where we bought it, But I bought an American made one!
Made in Greenville, Tennessee. I think it is a Weber.
Maybe in Superley, or Carrefour. You can get them,
Home Center is a good place to look too.
You just have to Look. They are available.

Maureen I a saw a Thermos Grill at Carrefour in Barranquilla priced at 349990 cp or around $150 us based on an exchange rate of 2300 pesos to the dollar. Now I'm wondering if I could buy a good pork steak in Colombia!

Thanks to all Tinto (my new best friend on PBH)-OMG- this web site (Homecenter) is fabulous. Now my favorite site. I've searched all over and didn't think there was a homecenter site! It took the focus off the BBQ for a while. I have really been needing to know about prices of good tools etc. I can spend hours looking at this stuff- no one can top this (for me). And, by the way, building my own is NOT out of the question. Me with a torch and welder- what an introduction to the neighborhood! Break them in right at the very beginning!

Poco-- Great BBQ! But guinea pigs? I can't imagine. I may need to try this at your house first.

Thanks to all for the info. I feel so much better. BBQ is my favorite method of cooking and now that worry is gone with all the options I never thought of (like the grill for arepas). As much time as I have spent in Exito & Carrefour I never noticed one. Though I agree a built in brick BBQ with the grill that lowers is the way to go, I don't think I'll have the space.
I can't figure out why no one I talk with has a clue about these things- could it be my Spanish?????

New Homecenter - Pereria A new Homecenter is being built in Pereria. The store is HUGE. An Exito is being constructed on one end. The Exito is maybe 4 months from completion. The Homecenter should be at least partially open this month.

A new three (4 months?) mini-mall was opened downtown. Featured a 3 story high waterfall

I was there When I was in Armenia in April we went to Pereria to visit family and of course the event of the day was to take me to the new mall. Very good A/C- thank God. It wasn't very busy, though very nice!

As for the Homecenter in Pereria- Way closer than Cali (from Armenia) and I guess we'll be seeing more of the family there than I originally thought! If it wasn't for the heat the Homecenter could sway me from living in Armenia to Pereria!

Maureen, one of the best ways to find Colombian websites is use the search box at the top of my links pages. The first is in English, the second is in Spanish but you must use Spanish in the search box on either page.
