Mmmm...is it ready yet?  That grill with the steaks on it is exactly the kind we've been using for 20 years. They work pretty good. I just spent the last two hours assembling my new grill. It seems pretty nice to me for a $100 grill. It has a temp gauge, hinged lid, chimney with adjustable vent, adjustable inlets on both ends, a warming tray, and a folding tabletop. The fire rests on its own height-adjustable steel grate with a pan under it to catch the ashes. Looks alright to me. Can't wait to try it. Here's a couple cellphone pics. Sorry they're dark: ![[Linked Image]](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/tradbowhuntr/Image05202012201402.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/tradbowhuntr/Image05202012201339.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/tradbowhuntr/Image05202012201428.jpg)

I had a gas grill until a tornado picked it up & body slammed it out in the backyard. No intention of getting another gas grill.
I now use a charcoal grill but I fire it with wood , not charcoal.

The last time I bought a gas grill was about 5 years ago, and it was a little over $100 for a basic grill. Nothing fancy, no side burner. I once had a grill with a side burner and never used it -- not once.
Well, last week I had flames shooting out the front of old trusty grill and aluminum dripping onto the patio. Now, we're having company tomorrow night and I need a grill quick. So, we've been shopping for one.
The only basic grill I can find is too small. Everything else has way too many features and is $400 or more. I can't believe people are buying the $900 models. Come on -- these things sit outside!
What do you guys have?
What do you think about the side burners?
What's a good, basic model that is built to last?
Can I get a decent grill with a price limit a little north of $200?
Steve. You wanna impress the neighbors? Get one a "discada". You can do lots of things with it. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.go2album.com/album/s/o/u/t/h/southwestdisk/4d125cc723a/slides/p_0009.jpg)

Then again... I bought this, NIB, at a garage sale a while back. Still had the price tag...$5.49. ![[Linked Image]](http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii94/ltppowell/IMG_2362.jpg)

If you are a savvy shopper, you can catch some great deals on Weber gas grills. I bought a Genesis Silver C about 2004 or 2005 as a model year close out for a little more than $300 otd. This was about a $600 grill before the close out. It is wonderful gas grill and leagues ahead of other $300 grills that I have used.
It is so consistant, I've baked on it...

I have a Char-Broil two-burner unit I bought on clearance from Home Depot in fall, 2010 for $67.88. No side burner. I prefer charcoal but the gas is easier for my life right now.
My porch is on a main street in a not-so-great area and it has survived almost two years. I'd rather not chain it to my railing as if they want to steal my grill, I would like the railings to remain intact, LOL.
It's a good little unit, perfectly sized for some ribs or burgers.

Don't be afraid of a used weber. The one I use on a regular basis is an original Genesis with wood trim 25 years old. It's had new grates and new bars and been re-plumbed for natural gas but it works as good as it did brand new.
I bought a used weber for the hunting camp for $60 including the tank. It heats like a mother!
Look in craigslist. You should be able to find an almost new used weber genesis for $200. You'll never regret it.

I recently (2 yrs ago) installed my first built in grill on my patio. We grill alot. Probably 3-4 nights a week. Anyway, started shopping for grills and wow amazed at the variety and prices. I decided to go with a decent model because it does get used and it just cooks better. I went with the 36" Jenn Air stainless model at Lowes and it works FANTASTIC. Cost a thousand bucks, but some of the stuff I looked at was around 4-6 K..............I believe you get what you pay for but that was just too steep for me. Hopefully this link will let you see it. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...elshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1
