Finally upgraded to a new gas grill

[mazrim1978]

Charcoal is the way to go imo,, although gas isn't cheating as bad as the treager, great easy cooking with that, even though my next grill is going to be a big Green egg. That's a grill Any man can be proud off!!!

Surprised by how many people say they grill with lump charcoal. It burns pretty unevenly, so anything cooked with direct heat is going to have hot spots.

That's the biggest advantage of briquettes. They burn very evenly.

I have very few problems with hot spots on my grill, and I use almost exclusively lump charcoal.

Gas grills are great, if I want 10 hour smoked bbq I will just go out to eat.

Since grilling is such a short period of time to be over the fire I use gas. More convenient and I can't really tell the difference when you're only talking 10 -12 minutes.

I'll use my smoker if I'm going to be cooking any longer than that.

When do stores put their grills on sale?

One of our grills is/was a Weber 300q, but the Kansas wind has annihilated it. I am thinking about replacing it with a 200q or another 300.

Does anyone have the 200?

I've never investigated the grills you mentioned. They seem pricey for what they are. The 200q uses the little propane cylinders, not the 20 lb. tanks like the 300q. I don't know if there's a way to adapt the 200q to use the large tanks.

Thanks. They make an adapter for 20lb tanks.


They are expensive but they do a great job, and if they are not left out in the Kansas Wind they should last forever.

SW Kansas wind is 11tybillion times worse than East Kansas.


It laughs a grill covers, then it proceeds to toss the grill down a field 100-150 feet.

I watched it push one down the steps of a deck a few years ago while staying with friends. Apparently thier neighbor wasn't too friendly because they just passed around the beers and watched it push it across the deck until it rode the steps.
