Grill Buying Advice

Thanks for the advice.

Im going to wait for a sale to come up. Nothing seems to be on sale right now.

You want cast iron grates not stainless.

Take a magnet with you to the store, a lot of the stainless steel is not actually stainless steel.

Get something with as much stainless as possible, burners, grates, all surfaces.

I have worked a fair range of grills, weber are nice as you can replace any component.

I currently have a charbroil commercial all stainless with infrared. I am very happy with it, the added plates keep stuff from falling through (I cook shit on there that I should get a grill pan for like asparagus) which keeps everything below cleaner and helps with flair ups.

I used to be a charcoal person but as years went on I got lazier and lazier and gas it just too simple. Still nice to pull out a charcoal every so often and grill up that way.

Go with infrared if you can. I hadn't ever used it since I bought my current grill about 2 years ago but it is amazing. You can't cook things wrong on this thing. Pretty much everything just put it on the grill, flip it once and take it off when it looks done. Always juicy, even heat, no flare-ups. Thing works great.

Weber, but you could find used but good Jenn Air grills at that price point.

I love me some BBQ.

We just got a new webber. Worlds apart from our junk kenmore grill.

Euro grilles have a cool eyebrow effect.

Hey R3v,

So I just bought a house, and its time to upgrade from my hibachi grill that I used.

Wants:

Budget: ~500 or less.
Burners: at least 3
Grilling area: at least 500 inches
Fuel: Gas

I actually prefer charcoal, but for now I want a gas grill, and I will get a charcoal one after this.

What should I look for? Any brands to avoid? Or go for?

Thanks R3v!
