You've obviously never used one.

Because a BGE costs thousands of dollars. I'd rather buy a Weber One-Touch, a good sized gas grill, and make a UDS and STILL spend a lot less than I would on a BGE.

You can get a large BGE for around $900.00. My Weber gas grill was $500.00 and my Weber kettle was $100.00. Add to that the $1500.00 for the Yoder Smoker and that is much more than any BGE. |

I bought a 3 burner Charbroil T-36D (still waiting for it to come in off backorder from NFM), own a Weber Smokey Mountain and I'm planning on getting a Weber Performer. All three of those together still cost less than an XL BGE. All of those together probably weigh less, too. Don't forget about the $700 accessory table either! |

I have the side grates to hold the charcoal to each side and smoke in the middle. Love my webber.
If the gas grill fits your need then you win. Enjoy your new grill! |

Point being, grill with what you prefer to grill with. Some folks like Charcoal. Some folks like gas. Glad you found what makes you happy, Guru.

For the record, I am holding on to my Weber for running out of gas issues and when I am cooking for more than just my family.

If you are good cook, and know the characteristics of the cut of meat you are using, you can turn out incredible food on either a gas or charcoal grill. Anyone that says otherwise simply doesn't know how to cook on one or the other properly.
FTR, I have both. I prefer my gas grill on weeknights after work, but enjoy cooking on the weber kettle as well. I also have a WSM, and use it to smoke all the time. Smoked trout today. Having said that, a weber kettle is a very capable smoker if you know how to use it. You can also smoke on a gas grill. Simply place wood chips in foil, poke done holes in it, and throw it over the burner. |
