What brand of grill do you have ?

[Bubba -NJ]

I'm looking for a new gas grill and was wondering what grills some of my fellow Botl have . In your reply please include the brand and model if possible and what you do and don't like about it . Also include any extra features it might have like a rotisserie , smoker box , side burner or even a deep fryer . I currently have a Char-Broil that is about 13 years old . Still works but it is looking shabby and I've rebuilt it a couple times now . I'd like to get one of the new all stainless steel propane models and preferably with a built in smoker box too .

I have a 10 year old walmart grill that i absolutley love! It has a grill and an upper rack and thats it it cols 75 bucks but i wouldnt sell it for the world. It cooks great like me ahem ahem and has the best gas consumption rate ever! I may have changed that tank once a year and its still about a quarter full. You can spend a thousand dollars on a gruill which i have done in the past and my wally world grill is about the same if not better than the monster grill.

We have a 1994 vintage Weber Genesis silver model gas grill with cast iron grill plates that is still going strong(did replace burner tubes a few years back though). Highly recommend the Weber line!

I have a two year old Charmglow Stainless Steel 4 Burner that I picked up at Home Depot. Not too expensive at all but works for my needs (which aren't very demanding).

No fancy frills or anything, just a straight 4 burner grill with a side burner for pots etc. Very easy to use and clean. It was very economical and works great! The only thing I dislike about it is that the Stainless steel that they use for this model turns blue around the side-vents and that's aggravating.

Other than that though its a good inexpensive grill

I have a 4 burner Vermont Castings grill.
Got it in the spring as a last year's model from Home Depot, so it was a couple hundred bucks less than the new ones (though it was also unused). Very well built, solid, works great.

I have a 6 year old Weber Genesis Silver C (or maybe B). I love the thing. The 5 year warranty is great and their support when a replacement is awesome. I suggest going cast iron grates (included from Home Depot only, or purchased seperately there). I had issues with the original grates because of the temps and brushing hot (brush grates when cool).

My parents have a 12-15 year old Weber that is still going strong, their quality is awesome. The temps are also great. They have a smoker box addition if interested, I just use a thick foil grease catch container with foil on top poked with holes when I need smoke.

I don't know the brand, but it's like this one.

Another vote for weber. I really like the cast iron cooking surface.

I've had the same model for the same length of time. The nice thing about Weber is that you can easily get replacement parts. I need to replace the grates and flavor bars this year and the auto-ignition switch went out on Saturday. I can get all those parts nearby.

I had one with a rotisserie and thought it was a cool idea when I got it but never used it once in 7 years.

I found this today and decided to pick one up. By the time I replace the grates, burners and igniter (it's time), it nearly costs 1/2 of what this grill costs...not to mention, IT'S HUGE!

I hope this helps

Btw - because the Sears grill is so big, it may be tough to find a cover.

This is the best deal I could find for a 2XL cover:

Agree on parts. And I timed mine to make sure I got new grates and thermometer right before the warranty ended.

I actually got my cast iron my warranty replacment for the regular and took the brand new ones to home depot and paid difference to upgrade.

Everybody get ready to laugh at me....


We can't have LP/charcoal grills where we live, but we really felt we couldn't go without one, so we have..... a George Foreman full size grill. It's about the size of a dome grill, but is one big heating element. It doesn't work as well as a charcoal, but it's better than nothing.

heck, I have one of those

Only way I cook pork chops anymore. Great for burgers and grilling vegetables as well.
