We run a Weber Geni, too. Love it. Bought it used a couple of years ago from a neighbor that was moving. Great rig!

It doesn't look brand new, but it still looks respectable and works fine.

I replaced the grill grating and burner covering plates last year...

We had a cheapo $100 grill before the Weber, and it didn't last more than 3 years...

Happy BBQ hunting!

I got my husband a new Weber last year for his bday. He LOVES it! He is definitely a Weber fan.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I received a grill as a Christmas present and it only lasted 2 years. I then went to Sears and bought a comparable grill that started rusting bad after only 1 year! I've managed to push it another year by drilling new holes in the non-rusted portion but it appears that the bottom might fall out at any moment. I even have the grill under my patio so it never gets rained on, but we do have high humidity in southern Louisiana, so that's probably why they're rusting so quickly. I believe these grills were in the 2-3 hundred dollar range, but if I have to replace it every 2 years that really adds up. I'd rather pay a higher price for one that will last me a while.

Pats and they'll cover the 3 points...

I wouldn't go against Brady and Belichick in a revenge game...

I think I've decided on the Weber Genesis, probably the 310 model. Not sure about the E (porcelain) or S (stainless steel) because there's a definite price difference. I'm thinking I might need the stainless steel since I live in such a high-humidity environment.

zedhead · 01-28-2012, 02:38 AM

Hmm... only 3 points?? Tough call. I wouldn't bet against the Giants at that spread. Eli has been to good on 3rd downs. With the Pats D???

Congrats on deciding!

The stainless steel should last longer I think...

My Weber grill cover is porcelain, and the edges are chipping off a bit on the sides... I have stainless steel grill grating.

Thanks! I called Weber yesterday and told the lady I spoke with that I live in Southern Louisiana and we have high humidity and she recommended the E (porcelain) model since the stainless steel would likely discolor. I went with the wife to Lowes today and picked up the Espresso colored E-310 model. I've been exhausted today so I've been sleeping all afternoon and just woke up so I haven't been able to put it together yet. Then I have to go somewhere tonight so I'll be putting it together tomorrow morning. I can't wait to grill some steaks on that baby!

fasteddie · 01-30-2012, 09:30 AM

Congrats, very pretty!

Happy eatings! Mmmm, steak!

I'll have one rib eye medium rare please!

Speed · 01-30-2012, 11:19 AM

Thanks! I actually cooked some rib-eyes last night and they cooked fast. It definitely holds heat better than my last pit and actually cooked them more than normal without burning them. I was constantly having flare-up issues in my older grills but that doesn't seem like it will be a problem anymore. I think I'll be grilling some chicken tonight

Maybe we need a YorkieTalk product recommendations thread because this turned out quite nice

Oh, my mouth just starter watering! I usually cook it for 9-10 mins for ribeye medium rare (with the grill around 375 degrees). Yes, the heat stays rather steady on my Weber, definitely makes grilling easier.

That's a great idea, should we share recommendations with the ladies too? Or just keep it in here?

I'd be happy to recommend stuff if it's something I know about...

zedhead · 02-01-2012, 12:51 AM

Great idea. Keep it here, the ladies always think they have the best recipes!

I think I'll break out the grill. That ribeye post makes me drool! Havta shovel off the patio!

Speed · 02-01-2012, 05:28 AM

I think I'm going to be grilling quite a bit more now! I cooked a chicken breast 2 days ago and it came out perfect. No burns, super juicy...best I've ever had come off a gas grill. Then last night the wife and I made a quesadilla meal we haven't made in a while. She bought some strips of chicken and fajita packets and I basted the chicken while I grilled them. Those came out perfect as well. I've been missing out all these years with these cheap grills. I noticed on my old one that the heat dispersers/flavor bars were way too close to the grates and were relatively flat so stuff would fall on them and stay and burn up. I would always have trouble with flare ups and would have to babysit while I grilled. The flavorizer bars on the Weber are angled enough to where everything falls to the bottom of the grill and doesn't start a fire. Plus they're far enough from the grates so if they did flare it wouldn't torch the meat. Makes me wonder what the heck the designers of those other grills were thinking.
Speaking of more recommendations, I have a semi-big lot for my house and had been using a self-propelled mower. That can be so exhausting with a 110+ heat index that I would usually cut my front yard one weekend and the back another. I had an appendectomy in July that didn't go so well, and my dad brought over his old riding mower and let me use it for the rest of grass-cutting season once I was able to go home. I'm thinking of buying one for myself and was thinking of a Troy-Bilt like this:
Shop Troy-Bilt XP XP 22-HP Hydrostatic 46" Riding Mower at Lowes.com
Anyone have any better recommendations? I'm guessing cutting grass is manly so it can stay in this thread
