I have a bull I have had for a few yrs. would not pay for 1 out of my own pocket but a customer gave it to me because she did a full built in .
think when I looked it up they were pushing 3g
the one she had put in the outdoor kitchen was over 5g .
worst part is I don't think she eats at home often and this is just a summer home

Looks like we work for the same type of customers

got to live close to the $$ I would love to live in the sticks but those people do there own work.
the supper rich never surprise me any more.
the ones that shock me from time to time is when I am doing work for one of the conservatorship lawyers I work with getting a property ready for sale.
old people living like homeless poppers in chit and having millions in the bank

I am a huge weber fan I hate to admit it but I think I am up to 22 weber grills. I have a weber genesis that is from 1986 and still going strong and I can still buy parts from weber to keep it going. I always tell people that the weber grills are the cheapest grills around. Then I get no they are the most expensive ones out there. I explain to them if you spend your money on a cheap gas grill in a couple years you will need to replace parts at your cost not covered under warranty like the weber. If you don't want to purchase new look on Craigslist for a used genesis or summit then buy the replacement parts and you have a new slightly used weber. The factory sale that was mentioned is no longer weber stopped that About 14 years ago.

Another vote for the Charbroil Infrared, It is a bit different cooking on them, but once I got used to it, I much prefer it. Also, my buddy swears by his Big Green Egg gas model. Built very heavy duty.

Depending on your price point also look at the weber Q's, I have a small one I keep at the cabin and one the size of the 3200 at home works very good for the price point.

Weber grills started in Chicago il in 1952 at weber brothers metal works. They did metal spinning the first grill was made from half of a buoy by George Stephen. The first grills where called George's Grill it was the first covered grill a new concept at the time. They sold like hot cakes and weber grills was born.

I love my Weber Q. It's the double burner one that comes with the stand. It's been sitting outside for 4 years uncovered




and still looks great. We use it in the winter and it gets right up to 450degs. I'm looking at Trigger pellet grills to add to my grill collection. Q320, 22",18" and the good old Smokey Joe.

I have a Holland grill also. We use it a lot. It's my second "indirect heat" grill. The first was not a Holland, and rusted away. The Holland is very well built, and will go on forever the way it looks. "Indirect" heat grills are slower to cook with, but are very versatile in their uses. They are either on, or off, and are very good as a "smoker". Absolute no flair ups. Does not dry out what you are cooking. We use it for all types of foods. I have heard of people making pizza in them.

Any of you Weber guru's know anything about this model:

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/for/5505700449.html

The seller said it was 7 years old but it seems older than that from what I could tell from web searches
If the frame and body of it is in good shape age is not all that important you can replace all parts for less than a new one, but I think the slats on side and bottom may be older than 7 years old but it looks good. Only problem I had was the frame rusting out but I never covered it and it left it outside year round.

Bought a Charbroil infrared a few years ago, bought it on a Sunday the Wife cooked chicken on it the following Tuesday then that night after a thunderstorm a very large Bear came up on the deck and knocked it over and it actually lit when the controls hit the deck. So it's a little tweaked from the Bear but it works Great!

You should really turn the gas off when the grill is not in use.
