Grills

[RyanbabZ71]

Any suggestions for a good Not super expensive grill? Seems we get 3-5 yrs out of ours with the weather (snow/rain/wind). What is a good one to leave outside. Thanks!

Got my Weber silver b used for a really good price. Rock solid and all the parts are replaceable so you dont need to get a new grill, just replace some flavor bars and your good to go again.

Most of the new ones have replaceable parts.

 

But if you like the charcoal taste and don't mind taking time for it to light, it's hard to beat a little round Weber. They last a long time and are dirt cheap. Don't have to worry about them getting stolen either...

I really like my Chargriller Duo. 2 grills in one. Gas & charcoal plus side burner. I added a smoker to it.

It stays outside under a cover, still looks fine. I clean and oil it once a year.

$299.00 but can be found for $199.00 on occasion. You can cook meat on the charcoal & veggies on the gas side at the same time. I use the charcoal 90% of the time. The side burner fits a charcoal chimney to make starting the coals easy. This may not be what you want, cause there are a lot of good grills out there. Customer service was good when I called the manufacturer.

Go to their website & they have a link to several good grilling sites that may guide you to what you want.

 

Good luck

I have a Weber Spirit. LOVE IT. Not sure how the pricing is these days but about 5 yrs ago I bought it for around 350-400.

Not a cheap one, but I have a Holland grill. Was given to me by my wedding party. Love the thing. It will not flare up, stainless cooking grates and cast iron burners, both guaranteed for life.

I bought a Charbroil Judge fpr $79 back around 2005 or '06. It wasn't the prettiest grill new, and it's been discontinue for a few years, but I just cooked on it last week. Considering it's been in the weather for all but three years of that time, it has held up great. I used an old baking sheet to replace the charcoal shelf, but besides that it has only needed an occasional bit of vegetable oil (to keep rust away). I can't even think of how many pounds of meat that thing has smoked.

one tip I have picked up to is to use a tub of good ole cooking lard and heat it up in one of those foil pans on the grill. when it has liquefied I use a tong to dip a wad of paper towels in the liquid fat and coat the inside of the lid, all the edges, and the grates. keeps rust away and helps with seasoning. I try to do it a few times a year since my grill lives on the back porch.

I usually just use vegetable oil in a spray bottle. The manual for my grill recommended it to season the grill, and about once a year since I'll get a good fire going and coat the inside and outside. Made the mistake of washing the grill off once: started rusting almost immediately, and old grease on the inside flared up for the following week.

I ended up getting a char broil commercial series at lowes this weekend. Went in for a toilet flapper and left with a grill it'll work well!

This is the same grill that I just replaced. Mine had about 4 years of back porch exposure on it without a cover and it finally kicked the bucket. Was super happy with it though. You realize of course that this thread could potentially lead into a recipe trading thread...just putting it out there
