I know quite a few of the clowns on here like to grill. Ive got a Weber grill that has a manufactured date of 2006. I got it lightly used, yeah im cheap and got a used grill that has been awesome… $900 grill i basically stole.
Ironically i got bought my mom a new little 2 burner grill Weber this week, but i called to get part #s for replacement parts on my grill today cause tired of middle burner not lighting fully. Lady at customer service asked me for info on grill cause and ended up giving me new burners under warranty. I certainly didnt expect that and was calling to get burners, grates, and flavoring bars to get a few more years outta grill but they were awesome… they might have only saved me $60-70 bucks, but ill never buy another brand.
We have had Weber grills since i can remember, prolly would have always bought Weber brand any how… like most things, spend the money buy good stuff
I’m glad you said that,I’ve been debating on a good grill to buy at end of season to save a buck,never had one. Always said to myself, it’s gonna be crap in 2 seasons, why spend $500 or up. Always bought the crap ones. Our local,about 45 minutes away Ace Hardware store sells weber and I really like them folks over big box stores. Thanks @Donut
Ive been looking at new ones… i think its a Spirit w/ 3 burners and a sear station(extra burner) for like $599 is one i would get… got my mom a Spirit 2 burner. Its a really nice basic grill for $350… warranty cant be beat. Put it on porch of the new office w/ a cover and itll last you a long time.
You be surprised how many people sell them on craigslist because they had a gas grill and think it takes to long. I hate gas grills but I’m a bbq purist food cost to much to cook it on gas. Plus I am fascinated with this forum so I light the grill open a beer and see what you guys are doing at the end of the day
I agree with both ya’ll. I charcoal 100 % of the time. But I’d also would like to get home from a long day and not wait 30 minutes for my grill to be ready.
I’ve been eyeing them. Ace sells them as well with the weber. Like $700 And up. Have to sell a kidney. But them 1hr long infomercials said I must have one,but I’m gonna take @Donut advice
Gas is great for quick stuff like burgers and thin pork chops but that’s about it for me. Charcoal reigns supreme. Never smoked with anything but split wood so I can’t comment there.
I have a cast iron charcoal grill but its not as big as i would like it to be and you have to put it on a table.
I seen a round weber grill and it looked like one of those cheap walmart ones that are really thin and get a hole burnt in them after a couple of uses. i went to go move it off the porch and it had some nice weight to it. I thougjt it might have had a bag of charcoal in it so i opened it and it didnt. They make them out of nice thick metal…very well built. Ive thought about buying one of those ceramic eggs grills but man they are pricey.
