Speaking of re-filling your propane tanks (and when you don't have a friend who owns a shop ), I have been using on online service called jackgas.com

 

The price is $25 for a tank, but they fill it to a true 20 pounds instead of the trade-ins at the stores, which typically come in at 15 pounds. So it is sort of a wash, dollar for dollar, but they deliver to your door the next day. No need to lug around tanks.

Im telling you guys, you should really check out craigs list for stuff like this. Its crazy the deals you can find sometimes!

So, where's the best place to get a 'non-special' Weber? I'm in the market too this year.

Funny you should ask. I used to work in a mom and pop hardware store.For years home depot (Home defect)

was after weber to make a home depot grade(lower) weber. Weber said fu. But market forces drove them to it.

So basicall go to your local mom and pop hardware dealer and buy the better grade weber there,

Home depot is being sued or was for selling lower grade Moan(sp) faucets that failed.

I do shop there but it has the knick name home defect for a reason.LOL

Also I'm in the market for a Big Green Egg this year, these ceramic grills are amazing!

Sunbeam Flamemaster here, circa 1998 at home. Replaced the burner after it rusted with a generic and isn't doing the trick. Gotta fix that this year. Got an unknown brand at the shore and it always needs help due to the salt air...

I agree with anyone who has said charcoal FTW. There's no going back, the flavor is unbelievable.

Retired my 14 year old Weber two years ago and got another Weber at Top Line Appliance. Great with natural gas.

So, where's the best place to get a 'non-special' Weber? I'm in the market too this year.

 

Crazy enough... got home from work today to find this...

Is your wife stalking you on the forum?

I think the key to happiness is to learn how to care for a grill...not saying that i know how either!

But my Target "special" top of the line Amana 3 burner (actually a SureHeat 27) has completely rusted to shit inside.

The burners haven't gone yet cause they're stainless, literally everything else inside has rusted out.

I'm restoring the cast iron grills to get another year out of it, scrubbed them good and used plenty of vegetable oil

to make them usable. That is the art that I have to learn, how to care for the cast iron grilles.

Before I invest in a better unit for next year.

Luckily the Target grill was on clearance (75% off) so I really can't complain.

But nothing of any quality comes from a Target or Home Depot that is for damn certain!

I'm a fan.

I noticed they are putting the knobs back on the front now, is that right? Mine came with the knobs located on the right-side tray, which reduces the space to keep a serving plate on that side. The reason I read is that the front-mount knobs had a melt-down issue.

I guess they solved that issue?

I haven't had any come back with melted knobs.

 

They used to have the burners going side to side rather than front to back. That's why the burner knobs sat on the side. Supposedly it promoted less cold spots on the grill surface. People hated not having that side space.

Did a pair of 1 1/2" thick NY Strip steaks Monday night, and it couldn't have been better. Got the egg's dome temp up to 600F, and I shoved the coals to one side. Cooked at 2 minutes per side, and then shut all the vents, put the steaks on the other side of the grate, and let them roast indirectly for 4 minutes. By the time they rested, the sides were done, and it came out perfect.

 

weber kettle grills are it for me im on my 3rd one and this one needs new grates I want the cast iron ones .I average 24 big bags of charcoal a year some of it is used in my brinkman smoker ,propane is for cooking 2 hot dogs or a hamburger

my grill

No need to brag! Ha, ha, ha!

holy pig

 

 

I'm a fan.

 

 

I like the ceramic grills too. I bought the Primo brand one a few years back. My only mistake was not stocking up on enought lump charcoal. Had to go all winter without it. I cant stand paying shipping on stuff.

HELL YEAH...be over shortly!!

Just replaced my 10 year old genesis with a Summit 6 burner model. Did a turkey breast (bone in) on the rotisserie and it was the best turkey I've ever had. Have a lot to learn and can't wait to grow into this grill.
