Haven't looked back but my youngest son still cooks on his Weber Kettle. And I'll admit, he puts out some very good grub. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

My experiences are limited to a BGE, so I will not opine here. Looking forward to his feedback. Love him or hate him, the guy can flat out cook/grill.

If we're gauging the quality of grills based upon how well they bounce, then fugk. Wasn't one of my search criteria when I was shopping best grills on the planet. Fugk me....

I'm guessing the owner did something stupid... His wife opened the BGE with the lid on... The lid fell off and hit the ground and broke. If it had been on a leash or had been hinged it would not have fallen to the ground and broken.

I have an almost unlimited supply of oak and hickory kindling wood. I use that to get a fire started and then throw the charcoal on the wood coals. The best way in the world (absolutely no lighter fluid) to get a fire going. I can cook over the charcoal or if I prefer, just get a good wood fire going and cook over the wood coals. Usually it’s charcoal though. Last edited by GAGoober; 01/02/23.

Having the hinge saves a lot of hassle with the lid.
