I  have a Sunbeam Rocket Grill which I love and need parchment bags.  Went to Amazon and they want $91 !!  Anyone else still use this grill?

I have one, but haven't used it in ages.  Still have about 20 bags.  Can't get over the price at Amazon!

I loved that Grill and was extremely miffed because I remember the host sayng that the Q would ALWAYS have the replacement bags.... right.  When I went to the Q to buy replacement bags after mine had run out after a couple of months it was no where to be found and neither was the Grill.  

At that time I was able to buy the replacement bags from Amazon and they were running about $12 a box so I bought about 10 boxes (I think each box had 25 in it) and actually still have some and still use it occasionally.  

I can't believe Amazon is charging that much.... unreal!  I mean the little grill wasn't more than $39 if I remember right.... sheesh....

OH.... and it taught me a great lesson regarding QVC and buying something that requires refills of any kind....

Look on the Sears website.  They sell bags through an outside source.  Looks like the best deal is 90 bags for $65.  Also, on the Sunbeam website they say they sell them but I couldn't find them.  You might be able to call their customer service number.

Is it possible you could fabricate the bags yourself from parchment paper?

I got mine right from the rocket grill website last summer.

You have to be careful with the knock off bags.  They split open and made a mess in grill.  Had to return them.

This was my thought, also.   I don't have this rocket grill thing, but I can see taking a piece of parchment paper, folding it in half, then turning that into a 'pouch' by folding the sides in multiple times, leaving the top open for putting the food into it.   That would hold up, for single use anyway.

Word to the wise - with anything for which you need to have to always buy parts like this, nobody is going to always have those parts.  I know they say they will, but they never do.  I've seen it with many things over the years, through numerous retailers.  

'Always' only means as long as they are able to make money from selling the product.

Reminds me of the term OPEN STOCK used on china and glassware.  They said this would mean you could add pieces to your collection at any time.  What they didn't say was they could discontinue the pattern and then you are just out of luck.

I use my Rocket Grills often-- still love them.  I bought 3 of them, 2 from QVC and 1 from Big Lots.  I bought all the bags that Macy's had on theitr discontinuing sale around the same time I got the grills so I am still pretty well stocked with them.  D
