O-T poor gas grill recommendation
Posted on 3/29/15 at 9:33 am
Posted on 3/29/15 at 9:33 am
I'm looking for a replacement for my old grill, it's several years old and the insides are starting to rust pretty badly.
No more than $600 max. I need a large capacity main cooking surface, so 3 burners and down and an absolute no, and a lot of the 4 burner grills aren't even wide enough. I need at least 30 inches wide for my cooking needs.
Here are two I'm looking at:
Cheaper Char-Broil
Dyna-Glo
Is the stainless steal cooking surface preferable to the porcelain coated cast iron? Is that Dyna-Glo worth $200 more than the Char-Broil?

Just get a weber and be done with it. It'll cost you a couple hundred more, but last much longer.
I have the gensis 330 special edition. Nothing that special about it other than you get enamel shell and stainless grates. So yes, stainless grates were much preferable to me.

if everything else is in good shape you can order the replacement "guts" for pretty cheap, there's really not much to it, you can change them out in minutes

Get a weber off of craigslist

I have a weber and it's awesome. Those char-broil grills sound like cheap POS. The amazon reviews are not kind.

I bought a 5 burner for $200 because I planned on building an outdoor kitchen in the next 2-3 years. its junk, but I've "learned it". Can get it to 700 for steaks too. My point is, if I found something that can hold me over for 200, you shouldn't have a prob with $600. Got it HD, it's a char broil

Casty,
You can find, if you search long, hard and wide enough a Primo Oval XL (or equivalent) on Craigslist for approximately $800.00. I did. Was only used once and came with all the accessories.
Granted, it may be above your price point, but you won't be needing to find replacement parts or scrap the entire grill 5 years later.
The ceramics are built to last. Just a thought.

K, maybe I should have clarified. I received a $300 gas grill as a gift. It came from Lowe's. I'm returning it and paying more for something larger.
Not going over $600. Period.
A weber would be great but an $800 weber isn't even large enough for my needs, so weber is right out.
I was really hoping if someone could just tell me if that Dyna-Glo would be worth the extra money or if I should just get the Char-Broil and plan on it lasting 4 or 5 years and have to buy another one.

Look at the diff in BTU of the choices you posted. At that surface area of course you get the one that is 75% more capable.

I use a Brinkman 5 burner with a side sear burner. I usually grill low and slow then reverse sear. Size is more important than BTUs for me. Think mine was in the 360 dollar range. But, when I two zone grill, I have plenty of space.
You can get a cheap grill and an expensive digital thermometer and grill like a boss.

Take a look at the Weber Spirit three-burner models. They go for $500 and up, depending on options.
Posted on 3/29/15 at 3:07 pm to Casty McBoozer
Here is a Weber for 699. That is just a little above your price range but it will last at least twice as long.

NO CHARBROIL!
You'll burn enough meat to pay for a WEBER.

My Weber is 14 years old and I'd equivalent to the Weber Genesis. I would say it's worth the extra cost. Also starts up right away. I never expected it to last this long. When I did buy it the guy recommended I get a Weber fitted cover and I did. That has helped it last this long.

1.) Too expensive
2.) Too small
3.) Not at Lowes
