Have to get a new Grill for the Patio very soon and just wanted to know some opinions of a few I have in mine. The three are : 1) Weber Genesis C Silver, 2) Charmeglow Stainless Steel, and the 3)Vermont Castings Grill in blue Stainless steel. I'm kinda leaning towards the Weber because of their great warranty, but more so, that they seem like they always have an even burn on anything.

Any suggestions or opinions?

I don't know about the others, but Vermont Castings has a nice warranty (you can check it on their website). My neighbor has one and it is very nice. I will be purchasing one when my current grill goes. I have had a Kenmore (clearance at Sears) for about 5 years now and it has held up nicely. Good luck.

Yes, the Vermont Castings Grills are solidly built and they look great, but their vertical burners does produce some uneven burn, at times.

here we go again!!....

Get Charocal!!!...gas sucks!! 🙂 lmao

Another thought (at least for myself) was a pellet grill (I have seen Louisiana Grills). You can use different flavor wood pellets in them also (mesquite, hickory, apple, and alder). I have a pellet stove heater that works great, this might be something to look into.

After agonizing for weeks on this very subject last spring, I was looking at the Weber, Vermont castings and some others, I ended up buying something that had all the features at a fraction of the price. A Brinkmann. All Stainless pedestal, 3 burners, cast iron grills, side buner, heavt duty wheels,really a nice unit. I found out that Brinkman makes a lot of the other brands. All for under $300 at WALMART no less...I love it. Works great. Nice big cooking area. Made some damn fine chicken Saturday night.

If you're looking for very even heat go with Vermont or Weber -- the Brinkman I have has hot spots near the back. It works fine for my needs, I just know where to put stuff and where not to put it.

I own a Weber genesis silver. It's probably not the same one your looking at tho. Last year they took out one of the burners and added doors to the front. I have the 3 burner without doors. I have no complaints. I do recomend getting a rotisere thing tho. Makes some great chicken. I would like to find a way to add some wood chips ocassionally. I'm sure there's a way, just haven't looked yet.

Amen vfrtwice charcoal is the way to go. Who is really in that much of a hurry.

Charcoal Only.

Weber Kettle.

the george foreman grill. perfect steakes every time.

3/4 inch. 3 minutes. turn over (the bottom is hotter thens the top) 2 minutes. out and eat.

Go with the Webber, I love it.. Great warranty. I got a Summit Platimum D Natural Gas...well my mother does. It awesome. I don't think they make that model anymore but Webbers are great. I personally have the never fail 22" classic kettle grill.

My propane CharBroil has been ever vigilant for the last 6 years. Replaced the warmer racks and the cooking grate, added "smoker plates" and also use a cast iron smoker box to add the smoke taste. I usually cook stuff low and slow, just like on charcoal.

That being said, I do want to get a charcoal grill to accompany my gas grill... Just because.

JOIN THE DARK SIDE......CHARCOAL...CHARCOAL!!! 🙂

Don't listen to V, check picture forum . LOL

I love Rick's idea.

I use a cheapy Sears grill. Good for a couple of years, throw away and get a new one. Then you have spare tanks.

what vfr said - if using gas why bother grilling you alreeady have a broiler.

I have a brinkman charcoal and a weber kettle.

Guys, I agree that charcoal is the way to go for flavor, but I need the grill for when I need to cook some things a bit faster.

Hence, I got the Weber Genesis Silver C Grill, AND the Weber kettle.

You are a smart man emgjet...LOL
