OT: Best value propane grill

[MTBingNinja]

Weber Genesis is dominating the recommendations! I am used to using a four burner for my family of four, does the three burner ever feel to small?

 

[Lefty2one]

I'm yet another happy Weber Genesis customer. Grills are something you should pay up for, you'll save money long-term.

If you count the sear station on the Genesis there are four burners.

 

[MTBingNinja]

I see the Genesis has a four burner model too

Mine is 3, and no. Doesn't seem small.

Weber is the best, but Char-Broil is the better value. Not as prestigious a brand, but work great and are a lot less expensive.

I('ve) own(ed) both brands.

Sometimes Cheaper means cheaper. Not necessarily better value.

I have the Spirit e-330. Not sure if they are still in production. It cost about $650 4 years ago.

3 burner but has a “sear station” and a side burner which I’ve never used but it is just kind of a flex.

For my wife, toddler and I it’s not problem. When we have parents or friends over it does get a little cramped.

Get a Weber Kettle and don't follow all the gas sissies here

Do you grill all year 'round or in the winter do you cook in your hearth?

All year round. Only real issue is ice removal, if needed, but that's not specific to charcoal.

It's not like a propane fire is space age, so pipe down.

I didn't understand the question really. Charcoal's main advantage is winter. Propane sucks in cold temps.

I think the "hearth" line is that he's trying to convey is that charcoal is for cavemen. Whatever. I'll club you in the throat in stead of punch.

Cavemen didn't have hearths. But they did have all the time in the world to build fires and wait for the heat to get to cooking temps, so if you've got the time, go for it.

Propane is fine in cold temperatures. Wind is tough on it though.

I had a Napolean for several years. Cooked really well. Had the infra-red cooking section. When we retired to Florida I gave it to one of our sons. Its still running after 17 years. Be aware, a large section of the bottom rotted out and had to be replaced. The screen over the infra-red cooker disintegrated over time and had to be replaced.

We now have a Weber Genisis. Going on 4 years and love it. Being in Florida, it gets used at least 4 times a week. Excellent cooker. The grill will hold at 350 degrees for cooking the likes of chicken and turkey breasts. Cast iron grates. It grills better than the Napolean.

As to grill covers, I purchased a cheap Char Broil for the Weber. It made it about 4.5 years. I just replaced it with a King Kong cover.

Which ever one you choose, happy grilling!!

I've chosen the Napoleon Prestige for my grill for the summer. Has a lifetime warranty, made in the USA.

What got me was the infrared searing station outside of the main grilling area as well as the rotisserie and charcoal/wood chip smoker trays.

We'll see how it goes!
