Looks like I'm in the market for a new gas grill

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/26/a5y4e5em.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/26/yba7y2y3.jpghad a little grease fire. Evidently the drip pan corroded enough to let drippings into the drawer underneath it. I cooked a couple of ribeyes and then left it on for a few minutes to burn off anything left. When I came back that bugger was fully engaged, with flames rolling out of the utensil drawer. So I am looking at new grills, any suggestions? I already have a nice charcoal grill, just want a gas for convenience

Get yoself an Egg man. Well worth it

This is my next purchase

Char-Broil is a good brand and you should be able to get a good clearance price this time of year.

Just put a new burner in it and be done.

I have gas that smells like an egg.

I got an infrared, and wouldn't do it again. Good for burgers and nothing else.

I'm with you no more infrared. Tho I have found that if I keep it really really clean it does cook better.

I have a Char Broil Commercial grade stainless steel and I really like it.

Weber, can get NG or propane models, last a lifetime.

I got a charmglow that I converted to NG that has been a pretty good one. Friend of mine has one like the one G has and it is really good.

A'ight, stop the presses. I jus went to Home Depot and perused thru the grill section. It appears this is the time of the year to be buyin a grill. After lookin at all the aforementioned brands and models, it is clear that you need to look seriously at the Weber Genesis. These dudes are made from cast aluminum that appears to be a whopping 1/4" thick, they have top of the line porcelain coated cast iron racks in em and the burners are under a very good looking shield. They are kinda pricey (7hunnert to a thousand smackers) but with your kinda money and the quality of these pups, I really don't see where ya can go wrong. I would've taken pics, but I left my phone in the truck and GDG has done told me you ain't a purty site, so I didn't go back after it. But anyhow, who else has went out of their way to help this fine feller out? (That'll cost ya one ribeye).

'preciate the time you spent minner, don't know whatcha talkin' about with my kinda money and all, it's green and getting harder and harder to come by these days although their are plenty of folks willing to relieve you of it. Even though you've made a crude coment about my looks i'll see what i can do about the ribeye since you claim you went out of your way and all. I have already seen the weber genisis and i thought the same thing you did. Real good quality, the one i saw was at lowe's in Philladelphia and they wanted $699.00 for a 3 burner without any side burners. Sounds like HD has more to choose from as Lowe's only had the one. By the way, medium rare on the ribeye or do you prefer yours blue?

Thanks G, where do i find a Commercial Grade and is the inside stainless? That's where my problem came from, outside was all stainless but the inside rusted away frome the salt and seasonings i've used. It was only 4 years old and i use it probably 3 times a week.

I got mine at Lowes....they are on sale right now. I have had mine for 5 years now. The inside of mine is not stainless but it has some kind of porcelyn coating....... We use ours a lot also. It seems to be holding up well.

there is a lot more damage than that, all of the control knobs were melted and stuck, one even fell off, plus other damages. I think by the time i rebuilt it i could have pretty much bought a new one.

I dont have the three burner or side burner Weber Genesis models, just the two burner/control model (base)w/ a side shelf as there is just the wife and I. It does all I want to do, and this model is usually about $300-400, but can get 'em on sale at times at Lowes or HD. You can re-build 'em for about $100 every 3-4 years depending on usage and where you keep it. You can convert a propane model over to NG by changing the orifice out, I've done it a couple times on two different Webers. My older weber I purchased back in the early 90's (one with a red lid/cover), used it for 10+ years, gave it to the kids to use, they wanted a bigger one so got it back, and re-built it, now its stored out in the shed.

Won't have any other brand of grill imo.

znope, not gas but I can get it cranked up and ready to cook using a leaf blower on the coals in abour 10 minutes. I also save ALOT of charcoal by using lump and then shutting the egg down. I can cook burgers, chicken, steaks all on seperate cooks on one filling of charcoal. Usually get 3-5 cooks off a egg full of lump. The it only takes 1 fiilling of charcoal to smoke a boston butt or a huge Briskett for 20 hours

thanks, good info, i did not know they made a 2-burner model. we are like you guys, only the two of us.
