Grill qweshon
Jun 3, 2014, 11:08 AM
|
|
Just moved into my new place, I now need a grill. Does anyone have a grill that I can borrow at no charge for the next couple years? I prefer a Green Egg but will listen to other offers. I assure you that the grill will be put to the lowereds work as I am very often hungry in the evening.
On the sirius tho, I need grill recomendations under or around $300. My friend has one that I've grilled on before and I really like it,char broil tru infra red is what he said it was.
Thoughts?

Dont go cheap on a grill
Jun 3, 2014, 11:15 AM
|
|
My sister bought herself and my dad a cheap grill that was around $250 and its all kind of broken a few years later. This is compared to a grill my dad bought in the early 90's that ran until she bought him this one in 2008.
Seems like a decent grill to me, although it is no green egg.

(Even though I know youre being sarcastic) A small weber charcoal grill will always do the trick.

Did the one you bought have that infra red thingy? That seems to be what my buddy really liked, how it gave it a good cooking all the way through. I used that particular grill multiple times and really liked it also

nice little Weber grill looks just like this. Have used it a thousand times and it still works great. I had to replace the little wood handle used to roll it around but that's all the maintenance required on it in 17 years. I think they run about $75 retail.

be putting their grills on sale. If you can wait a few weeks, you might get a better price.
Otherwise, I think what you'll find is that, brand-to-brand, in a given price range, they're mostly the same, feature-wise, its just a matter of reading some reviews and seeing which ones are the ###### ones, which ones aren't so much.

About reading reviews

[ in reply to With July 4th coming up, a lot of the big box stores will ] |

if you are spending $300 on a 3-5 burner gas grill you will likely not see much variance in quality, despite what reviews say.
For the most part you are getting a low end grill that you should plan to last no more than several years.
JMO. I had a $1500 grill that lasted me 15 yrs then bought a $300 grill and have pretty low expectations. $100/year of service maybe?

Agree, reviews may just point out something glaringly bad
Jun 3, 2014, 11:48 AM

I had a $500 Weber that my parents bought as a housewarming gift that lasted me about 10 years living on the coast in Florida (high humidity, high salt atmosphere). Invested about $150 in it at year 5 or 6 on new burners and grates.
Current grill is a bigger Master Forge that's going on 2 years old. I like it, other than the regulator drives me nuts -- if I open the gas tank too quickly, i.e. at a rate any normal human would turn the knob, the safety catches and severely restricts gas flow. At which point I need to shut the tank, disconnect the regulator and leave a burner open and wait 5-10 minutes so the safety resets. Biggest PITA there is.
Maybe I should just replace the regulator....

^^this............ Big grill syndrome
Jun 3, 2014, 12:54 PM
|

closely related to big truck syndrome and big gun syndrome.
A man can MAKE his own grill out of a couple rocks and an old piece of window screen stuck back in the barn. He doesn't need all these valves and tanks and and regulators. And he definitely doesn't want gas cooked meat. You can do that in the kitchen over the stove flame.

$700 for a grill that lasts 15 years with replacing parts
Jun 3, 2014, 3:20 PM

every 5 (total investment = +/- $1000 OR $67 per year). Or get a Charbroil for $250 and it will last 7-9 years without a cover on the back porch, replacing no parts (Or $28 per year).
Sauce: My dead grill that was a cheap wedding present.
