A Friend pointed this group out to me some time ago, and I've been
reading it avidly ever since... First thing I want to say is that you guys all seem like freakin Genius's! So the question.. (I'm done sucking up now....) I'm looking for a new grill...(I'll probably never be grilling for more than 6 or 7 people at a time) Reading here and looking elsewhere on the Net I've determined that I want a Weber Genesis Silver B with "Cast Iron Cooking Grid" and "Exclusive Porcelain Enameled Flavorizer® Bars" (C/O HomeDespot).. My question is this, assuming that I have no use for a side burner, and style isn't all that important to me .. What is the next step UP from this unit... what will it add to my grilling experience? I would far rather spend a little more now than find myself limited later. Or should I just save my money for better meat, cool accessories and beer? |

I no longer own a gasser but highly recommend getting hold of a copy of the 06/04 Consumer Reports. They do an annual review of grills and are pretty objective. That said, I would suggest to give serious thought to a Kamado with the gas option. It can do anything from cold smoking fish to smelting iron and your grandkids will be cooking on it when you're gone. _________ ht_redneck P.S. - I think for less money you can get a stand alone burner unit that will do more than a side burner. I have a dual burner gizmo that I paid ~$100 for. Very, very handy to have around. |

Tyler's right on, suggesting a Kamado, but to fair to the ceramic competitors, you should compare the Kamado to a Big Green Egg and a Primo. Jack Curry -Kamado's the best- |
