We have a gas grill made by Barbeques Galore. Wife paid a lot of money for it several years ago. Has a rotisary which works great for cooking a turkey. She puts a disposable aluminum pan under the turkey to catch the drippings and uses that for the gravy.
For grilling, it never has worked that great. The heat is not even across the cooking surface with hot spots and not so hot spots. It always struggled to get to 450 degrees. Not really hot enough to sear meat. Put an adjustable regulator on it and that made a lot of difference. Now it will reach whatever temperature you want by adjusting the regulator. The heat is still not even across the cooking surface and I am sure it will shorten the life of the burners but everything in life is a compromise.

Wabis new name is “Grill a meal”



LMAO

This. Easier to clean. (Clean???), and doesn't attract bears. we do have a 4 burner Sears propane grill. - I don't like it... way bigger than we need, and as said- harder to keep clean enough to keep the bears off the deck..

That’s was pretty much what I was thinking on doing. Great minds think alike I guess

Got an old Weber Genesis that's 12-13 yrs old and it's been used a lot. It has very solid construction, heavier than the current Weber grills and I've gotten good service from it. At the moment I need to replace the grates and burners as they are really worn out. I think I bought this new for $550 so amortizing that for the years I've had it it cost me less than $50 per year. I suppose it better than buying a cheap grill every 1-2 years and paying much more over time. I still use a charcoal smoker and grill for when I got more time and want a different taste. It's all good.

My wife bought a Weber Spirit from Home Depot. Girls at work said they are Uber. Made in China fell apart in 3 years.
I do have a mini Weber table top. Model 1000 I think. Very well made, but grease just goes into a drip pan. No baffles to add smoke flavor. Run on pound tanks or large tank. Good for a quick portable cook fishing.

My Weber is at 350* right now.............

Costco beer battered Cod & fries............

Ain't got no Halibut............

My 14 year old Weber grill was picked up by the town Bulk pickup yesterday. It's replacement is about 800 bucks(Genesis) , not one issue other then replacing flavor bars and grates. The one time I needed customer service they were amazing. I get my new Weber tomorrow cannot wait.

We bought a Char Griller duo about 12 years ago.
Love the concept.
A big full sized gas grill, with the same in charcoal beside it.
Wanna quicker? The gas is ready in 2 or 3 minutes.

Wanna go tantrum? Ser the chimney on the side burner and get.
That canonized wood hot!

Seriously, it's great to have the choice. Or, for a big picnic, the capacity.
Either side can handle 16 burgers, so we get the coals going, and can turn
out a pile of burgers and dogs in short order.

But it's sheet steel. The gas side was junk a couple years ago.
Body parts alone cost more than a new freestanding grill.
So I bought their freestanding grill.
And put it in the chassis.
Put new brackets, flavorizer bars, and burner tubes (they turned out to not be bad) in this spring. $80 to our door. In 2 or 3 year the whole thing is junk.

Not sure what's next, but I'm liking that Weber stocks parts for old stuff
Been looking. Might pick up a used older Weber. Sometimes they are given away.

So got it all together today and did a few rib eyes for dinner. I’ll post my my overall opinions and observations after another few day. Lots of pluses and a few minuses.
