Got a 5 year old grill that internals are all but gone. Thought about buying an expensive grill but the cheaper ones seems to work well for me($300). Any recommendations?

Look at a Weber on sale. You should be able to pick one up around that price.

For that price the best I've found was a charbroil commercial series at lowes. 4 burners I think. Keeps a pretty consistent cooking temperature

Spend the money on a genesis and it won't go to shite in 5 years next time. JMO

I owned several cheap grills that cooked unevenly and burned out in a few years.

Got a Weber. Night and day difference. And it will last so long that you come out ahead on the price.

Treat yourself. You'll be glad you did.

This. In addition, it will cook better and it will make you a better griller...

Exactly what I did.

I went with the Special Edition 330 because I wanted the steel grates and enamel body. I really liked this gray color too. One of the best purchases I've made in the past year or so.

I have a little gas one that I use a lot. It cooks great. Runs a little hot, even on low but as long as you know that and keep an eye on what you're cooking, it rocks.


The brand is blue Rhino and it runs on those little propane cylinders you screw in, like when you're camping. It has some folding legs and a top rack that slides back when you open the top, kinda like how some tackle boxes are made.


I love it. It doesn't take up a lot of room in the truck, cleanup is really easy. Has a thermometer built into the lid too. I think it was about $75.

It's nothing fancy but it turns out some great tasting stuff.

Whoops. Nevermind. This isn't that big at all.


I had a good one from Weber, like a previous poster said. My bro in law has been using it though.

Because it was cheap. Look at a grill as something that isn't disposable. Spend your money wisely and buy good quality. Weber.

Best bang for buck is going to be one of the Onward brands. You can probably find one of them at Lowes. My Huntington has lasted longer than i expected with zero maintenance or replaced parts.
