A guy in the office swears by Traeger but I looked at their prices, I can't see how they are worth what they are asking
I have a Traeger and it's fine for smoking, but it really struggles to get the temps needed for grilling a steak. Friend of mine like his for steaks; I don't.

Pretty much like a WalMart special....and yes I own the Weber. Not impressed anymore.

Find old Weber on Marketplace and replace the worn out burners.

we have had a weber genesis for over 15 years. it has stainless burners, racks and diffusers. I even converted it to natural gas recently after running almost all its life on propane. when I first got it, a massive wind storm blew it over and cracked the aluminum fire pot. Weber sent me a new one almost for free. basically just cost of shipping. a couple years later I called for an ignitor part and they said hi and my name before I could even say it, because they had all my info saved.

buy once cry once. weber is the only gas grill I will even own. I would have needed to buy 3 charbroil grills by now. they look great when new but quickly look like crap after a couple years. Also my genesis has been outside under a semi covered pergola, basically not really covered up either. there is a reason people swear by them.

I don’t have anything against Weber but owning two separate webers through the years and now having a Napoleon… spend the extra and go Napoleon.

I got tired of the cheap crap and bought a Vermont Castings about 20 years ago. It’s stainless steel and powdercoated cast iron.

Sits out in the rain, uncovered, and it still looks and functions as new.

It wasn’t cheap, but I went in with the “buy once, cry once” attitude. Glad I did.

I have no idea whether they still manufacture a good product or not, but with this track record I’ll croak before it does.

Agreed. You can do a lot more a lot better with a $99.95 Weber kettle grill than any gas grill in existence.

Haven't had a gas grill in around 15 years and have never regretted it one bit.

Lump for direct heat grilling, briquettes for smoking or roasting.

Can you have it ready to cook in <10 minutes? Can you use it over & over again without emptying ashes?

Not just no, FUG no!

Agreed. It takes me no time on a gas grill to make an awesome steak.

Also, I often grill large things low and slow. For example, I will grill a 5-6 pound prime rib on indirect heat for around four hours at 180 degrees. I know of no way to reproduce that with charcoal--at least not without a herculean effort.

Can you use the gas grill when you're two weeks into the Zombie Pockalips and all the propane tanks from the cages outside the C-stores have been stole?

And the service station help will no longer step foot outside to fill your tanks, assuming they still have any propane in their big tank because all the folks down at the propane company got Zombified and don't deliver anymore?

Get you one of these, you can even burn REAL WOOD down to coal to cook on (That's a boomer hint)
