BBQ Grills

[TDiddy]

We currently have a 3 burner (4 if you count the side one) Brinkmann 2400. Its worked well for the past few years, and still does, but we're putting a bigger deck on the house and I feel the need to upgrade the grill. I'm thinking about a Weber or a Jenn Air. Any recommendations?

[Cebby]

Jenn Air rules.

Exhibit A:

Good timing. In addition to Tom's question, also where are you guys buying yours?

[Cebby]

Lowes - you'll either need someone with a truck or rent theirs. The box is enormous.

[Bighead]

Cebby, which model is that? I'm in the market for a new one also and was at Lowe's yesterday checking them out.

Mine didn't come with any lights though.

lowes has good grills... my dad and i have bought all of our grills from local ace hardware stores recently... their service is much better.

i am partial to webers... :)

i guess i'm just a poser. i only have stainless trim (but i did get it at lowes). :D for $169, it's a good buy.

either WEBER or Jenn-Air would be a good choice. you can't go wrong w/ either.

That's the EXACT BBQ I have!!! It works quite well; I got an electric rotisserie for it too so I can cook spinning chickens and roasts. Like you said, the price really can't be beat. Wouldn't you know, I got it at Lowes too...

Barbecuing is just awesome, by far my favorite method of cooking.

I've been eyeing the costco and cabelas bbq's, myself. The cabelas one seemed a little flimsy though.

weber :thumbup:

mmmmmm BBQ

[Seanz0rz]

charcoal all the way... i know its a complete pain in the ass, but it just tastes soooooooo much better, i will never cook on open gas flames.

[Cebby]

I agree with Weber for Charcoal. I have a Weber charcoal smoker - it rocks.

We grill constantly (all winter and almost every day during the summer), plus my wife caters and does large parties, so we needed the capacity. The Jenn Air lights like a stove in the house - all of the burners have ignitors. It's all stainless, inside and out.

We were going through a grill every couple of years - this should be the last one we buy. My dad has the same one.

Wait until you get older. :D

Wait until you get older. :D


.....and have kids! :laugh:

I have a Grill Chef stainless, 4 burner, w/ rotisserie and it works great but it's a Canadian brand (probably rebranded from China) so it's not going to be of much help to you. We use propane for home heating (like fireplace inserts, etc) so this summer I'm just going to get a kit to hook mine up to my big tank (no more darn tank changes in the middle of cooking dinner!!!).

[Cebby]

Ditto on the permanent connection. Mine's natural gas. :D

[TDiddy]

Nice... next house (dream house that is) will have a a built in grill with a perm connection.

I have one like the Jenn air one shown.

Got it at Lowe's last year. Watch for the scratch and dent ones. I go t my grill for $125 it was suppose to be $210. They listed a scratched bun warmer, and two loose wheels. I say nothing wrong, the warmer is PC ed and it was chipped but who cares. The wheels stayed on and i don't move it so again who cares.
The Lowe's by my house does a big BBQ sale every year, that's the time to go in. They end up putting together a bunch of grill and finding ones that have minor damage, and sell them on the cheap.
My buddy had just went a couple weeks before and got the grill right above mine, side burner, and paid close to $300. HE was pissed when i told him how much i paid. :rofl:

Only down side was i was planning on putting a big box in my Tahoe :headscratch:, not a whole grill. So i had to wait for my Brother to come and pick it up for me.

Watch for the scratch and dent ones.
excellnt point!
a friend got 70% off for a dent of the side that isnt even noticeble till its pointed out.

I picked this one up from a CL ad last year:

Got it for $150, new in box!

Pretty basic, but I'm loving learning about smoking, to add to my BBQing and grilling! First smoking projects have been beer can chickens - QUITE tasty!
