Default New Grill?

The last grill I got was a Weber and that was about 10 years ago. It is safe to say I got my moneys worth out of it.

It is time to get a new one. Do you guys have opinions of which one?

Thanks,
Chris

What are you primarily interested in? Grilling? Smoking? How much space do you have? What's your budget?

I would love an BGE but I have a nice smoker and it will do for now. I do need a new grill though.


I would imagine (without pricing them) a new grill would be $500+

I think you answered your own question. "I got a grill 10 years ago, it was a Weber..." I'd say get another Weber.

1. I was wondering if there was a step up from weber?
2. If not what model of Weber.

I spent $350 on a Ducane (it's a Weber subsidiary now). Here's the thread where we talked about different grills. I like it a lot; it heats up like a mofo, doesn't seem to have any "dead" spots.... just does a real good job. Built very solid, as well.

Best thing I ever did was to spend a bit extra for a high quality, no nonsense gas grill that hooked up to the house gas.

It was an MHP (Modern Home Products) brand. Same company that builds those public park grills that last for generations.

If you're going to be around for a while...think about a natural gas hookup. I grill 3-5 times a week, year round and never think twice about my gas.

We no need no stinking side burners.

Mine is 11 years old and just last year I replaced the actual burner.
