Weber is great, but he's not finding one for $400.

I go CHARCOAL!!!!! No gas please :noon

I have been very happy with Brinkmann over the years. I grill quite frequently and love the one I have. I got it at Lowes in the offseason a while back and it was discounted 50% off. Been working like a champ ever since.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

:tpd: I have never owned a gas grill, and I never plan to!:2

I guess I shouldn't have posted in a thread asking about gas grills!:bh

Go CHARCOAL or go HOME... -(P

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

I have a charcoal one too, and actually am hoping to get a fire pit grill built in the next few years. But I do like just coming home late at night firing up the grill and having a sausage cooked in a few minutes.


So an update on the grill, after modifying the old grill I was able to get the replacement burner to fit, so for right now I am not going buy a grill, but will probably be looking at the end of the season for close out sales.

Todd...randomly check out Lowes or HD..sometimes they put up clearance items and mix them in with regular priced stuff.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Got to go with the Weber Genesis gas grills. Mine has 5 years on it, but the burner is starting to act crazy. Best time to buy is the end of summer as the days start getting colder. Grills and lawnmowers are cheaper then. I seriously thought about leaving the gas world for the charcoal world on my next purchase. I'm seriously considering a medium Big Green Egg or maybe a large one. A local butcher shop smoked a turkey for 12 hours and it was magnificent. I see them on Craigslist from time to time.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

I have a weber charcoal and if I get a gas grill I will probably look at a Napoleon Prestige I P450. Cant beat the flavor of charcoal though :)

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Do this. It will change your life. I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine. I have a Large.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Chip would you know if the Kamado grill is the same as the Green Egg by any chance?

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Love my Char-Griller. I first started using them for my smoker, but my wife doesn't like the time it takes for charcoal (blasphemy!). I got her a gas one from Char-Griller and it has been fantastic.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

:tpd:

Got a Masterbuilt Kingsford Grill/Smoker combo that has been absolutely phenom!

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Very similar, but Kamado is a LOT more $$. Mainly because they are a helluva lot prettier. Outside of that, I do not think there is much difference.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Cool thanks. I have some of the coconut charcoal they make and I was just wondering. I like the Green Egg more anyways.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

I have never tried the coconut charcoal. Mainly because the reviews on Naked Whiz are pretty bad. I use the Royal Oak from Wally World.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

I don't use it much either. I use Royal Oak that I buy in 40lb bulk and wicked good charcoal but thats super hard to find around here. The Coconut charcoal is a PITA to get started.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

Royal is about the highest rated on Naked Whiz. They make the BGE charcoal too. Good stuff.

Re: Gas grill recomendations
 

QFT, especially the left to right burner design. That design also means the left side is ofter cooler than the right :(

My wife gave me a 4-burner Napoleon P450RB grill last year for my birthday and it's AMAZING. Same quality and durability as Weber w/ a lifetime warranty on all the SS parts and burner box. Very hot and even, the outer two burners wrap around the back to form a U shape which lets you turn down/off the centre burner to create an direct heat zone that covers about 80% of the grill surface. The rotisserie burner is amazing and the rotisserie kit was included.

I am given to understand that Napoleon isn't as common down in the US (it's a Canadian company out of Barrie, Ontario) but it's well worth it if you can find them!
