Looking for the best "affordable" gas grill
Posted on 5/27/14 at 10:13 am

So I just had an offer accepted on a new home after previously living in a condo for years.
We have to buy a ton of new stuff for the house, and since it has a nice outdoor area, I want a grill. However, I'm pretty much on a budget since there's so many initial expenses right now.
I know lots of people swear by Weber, but for very similar looking grills they look to be at least 100 dollars more on average.
So, basic propane grill for some backyard grilling. 3-4 burners. I'm not going to give an exact price, but definitely less than 500. Preferably less than 350, to be honest.
Thoughts? (I plan on getting a much more elaborate grill operation in the future)

Get an infrared Char-Broil. You can find them for around 250-300. The bigger ones are around 5-6

I got a Huntington Grill last year based on reviews that I found on multiple websites and I am very happy with it. Should be in your price range.

Ehh, I have one of these. The bigger "commercial" one that cost about 500 clams. I thought it was pretty awesome for the first year or so. Now, 5 years later, it is a falling apart rust bucket piece of shite. Stainless steel my arse. I keep it under my patio too and it has never seen the rain. They cook fine, just don't hold up.

Don't know if they still do this but gas company's used to give you one and even install it, if you have natural gas. Hell local propane dealers might do this. My mom put one next to our pool, and it was great.

I bought mine from Sams, their memeber marks brand or whatever it was. Decent grill, been holding up well. I had to do the conversion kit which cost me a few more bucks than originally planned

I've had mine over a year and keep it covered and clean it every time I use it. It's in great shape.

Though I have a weber genesis, I would recommend the huntington and broil king. Otherwise get a weber kettle.
Cheap gas grills rust really badly real quickly.

Get a good charcoal in that price range, been a while since I owned a gas grill...I have a webber performance with charcoal lighter it has been great.

The holland grill is a bad mofo my dad had one that lasted 20 years. I have one now that's 5 years old. Will not flame up no matter what you're cooking

+1 on weber performer. They are 350 at Lowes. Forgot about that one.

Tha frick? What does it matter what it looks like?
I used a Weber once before I was convinced. Sorry if that doesn't help you.
Char-broil seems nice downmarket. I had a Kenmore Elite that served me well for 10 years. It all depends on what you want.

I think I spent around $300 on my Q series from Weber.

I think you're probably too cheap for this, but, whatever - everybody needs to dream, right?
(j/k - having a little fun with you

I've had a Weber Genesis since 2002. Replace the flavorer bars about every 3-4 years. Still works as well as the day I bought it.
