    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Well my own follow-up again.... We got a new deck a couple weeks ago and the old Kenmore grill went on. It still cooks OK, but the wheels are falling off and it's hideous cosmetically on a brand new deck with some brand new deck furniture. My financial situation also changed, so that a...

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Nice to see. I know how dreadful Florida is on metal. I always have kept my current cast aluminum grill covered and it doesn't look too bad. $1K is the total budget including paying a contractor to come out and run the gas line. I already have the gas line going to the outside of the house...

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    How does the stainless steel shell hold up cosmetically? I am very turned off by stainless steel like this, it shows fnigerprints and scratches easily. I stopped by Home Depot on the way home yesterday just to browse, and the scratched/fingerprinted stainless steel grills looked really bad...

    OK, I need a grill. Thought I'd resurrect this thread again. My only absolute requirement is that it runs on household Natural Gas, not propane or charcoal. I am leaning towards the Weber S-320 right now. Stainless Steel cooking grates are a big plus. Budget is under $1K. I would like a...

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    When my wife and I first got our house I did this. After a few months it ended up in the back yard. We bought a little rubber matte to place it on since we have no decking or anything. Yes, I have to walk all the way around the house to BBQ but it's easier than keeping the thing in the garage...

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Yes, there is. Never do it. Your owner's manual should have details.

    Electric charcoal starters work really well, also.

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Hey does anyone have any experience roasting outdoors in one of those neato Solar Ovens? There are many kinds, and from what I understand it's really easy to DIY.

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    You can put soaked Mequite chips on most gas grills and they make gas taste better than it would otherwise. Charcoal, IMO tastes better, but I'm a gas man all the way. The convenience rules.

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Fish baskets are awesome for cooking (I grill fish on my BBQ a lot) but suck bigtime to clean. One more thing to consider, and it will depend entirely on your particular environment. Charcoal is more of a fire hazard than gas. There's no "off" switch on charcoal. Whether or not this...
