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. :lol: 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.

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

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By Atlas · Posted

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....

      As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year.  In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP.  Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.    Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.
