Tominator Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Post them up. What do you have? Do you like it? What will your next one be? Lady at work is selling her 3 year old Char Broil Performance series grill. She wants $100 for it. Reviews on Amazon are kind of mixed ranging from "put together cheap," "catches on fire..." to "excellent grill." Anybody have this grill?

OJR Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 My son has a "Char Broil" and it is far from a good grill. The cooking area is either too hot or it is cold! When it comes to gas grills, the only one to consider is Weber. All the rest of them come in after them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 mine is a char broil and it will catch fire if you dont stand beside it the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 mine is a char broil and it will catch fire if you dont stand beside it the entire time. Yep and either too hot or too cold. I've got a char broil that sits in my back yard. I'll most likely get rid of it when we move. All my grilling now is done with charcoal or wood. Much better flavor with just a little more work.

Ohiobucks Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 The burners on my BBQ Grillware (cheaper Lowes grill) are rusted through. I started looking at replacing them, along with the deflector plates.......decided that I'm going to turn this propane grill into a charcoal grill instead. I'm not about to dump $100+ into this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have a Weber Genesis Gold series. I have had it around 5 years now, and I am happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidd Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 wood or charcoal....throw out the gas grill:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 The last grill I had was a Char Broil. I swore I would never buy another. Right now I have a Fiesta. I have burners that rust through every year but the parts are cheap and the customer service is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Got a uniflame stainless gas grill from wal mart. Been pretty happy with it. Don't think I have any pics of it loaded other than this one. Veni fajitas, yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 wood or charcoal....throw out the gas grill:) You beat me to it! Why use gas when you have the good ol taste of the smoke in your food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Why use gas when you have the good ol taste of the smoke in your food Because you can eat your dinner before 9 p.m. when you use gas :toot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Because you can eat your dinner before 9 p.m. when you use gas :toot: that would be operator error, not the charcoals fault lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 This is my hunk of junk. Should have bought the Weber...had to change the burner element on this after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 We have my parents Uniflame and I cant stand using it. I have two of the little portables that run on the small LP tanks that I use for fishing trips when I dont want to make a big production to cook hotdogs or burgers. Gonna get me a nice Weber charcoal grill after we move into our new place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 in a word........... charcoal..... lol, if ya want gas use the stove lol Yes! We had a gas grill. Ripped the guts out & now we have a charcoal grill MUCH BETTER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have a performance series grill. Would I buy another one? Probably not. Although, I had mine for about 9 years now. I replaced the burners twice, the cooking grate once. I still use lava rock, replaced that grate once as well. I have never got used to the taste with the deflectors, so I will always get lava rock. I also have the rotisserie burner, but that thing sure burns a lot of gas. So next grill will probably not have one. There is a problem with stainless steel grills, some are not, even though they say they are! Good stainless will not rust. My brother-in-law so-called stainless grill has rust everywhere it is tack welded together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganHunter Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey,.....something I can answer well. I use to assemble grills for wall-mart and a few other stores....Most all of the grills on the market now are cheap junk....there are a few of the cheaper ones that hold up well enough but nothing great....The only and I MEAN ONLY gas one that I would suggest is the new Weber genesis e310 or e320....they are built the best, hold up the best and are really great grills. Don't mess with any of the other brands....The biggest down side to the weber grills is they run 2x 3x more then some of the other....but if you really easy comparison just go lift the lid, feel the weight of the metal the company uses...better grills weigh more. (I admit i own a cheap gas grill cause it's what i can afford) OH AND DON'T BUY USED...CHEAP GRILLS FALL APART FAST AND DON'T HAVE ANY REAL VALUE AFTER A FEW YEARS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 You beat me to it! Why use gas when you have the good ol taste of the smoke in your food Convenience. I prefer charcoal or wood for taste, but the gas grill is much more convenient. There is a problem with stainless steel grills, some are not, even though they say they are! My smoker was supposed to be stainless, however my magentic thermometer sticks to it, so I know it is not truly stainless, at least not more than maybe a thin outer plating. My grill on the other hand is stainless everywhere that is not black. Have had some rust issues on the black where I scorched the paint off once, other than that no issues at all. Read some bad reviews on the uniflame grills after I bought ours, but have never had any problems with ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwa Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have a Weber Genesis Gold series. I have had it around 5 years now, and I am happy with it. Another vote for the Weber grills. I have a Genesis Silver C. I have had mine for about 5 years and it still works as well as it did when it was new. It has a large cooking surface and a side burner with 2 extra flip up counter tops.

unioncountyslayer Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm too lazy to walk out and take a picture right now, but this is my grill. Regal FireMagic 3 burners with side burner and electric rotisserie turner. 18' x 30' cooking area. It's the Mac Daddy! Had it almost 10 years, and still cooks to perfection. 100% Stainless everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Definitely not for everyone, but when we decided to build an outdoor kitchen we went with Lynx Professional Grills. They are considered one of the very best as is Viking when it comes to durability,craftsmanship, styles etc. They offer stand alone and built in units as well as accessories such as drawers, cabinets, access doors, side burners. Ours is a 42" built in with pro sear technology. We routinely cook for 25-40 people using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 that would be operator error, not the charcoals fault lol How you figure that? Can you start a fire and get 10 burgers and 3 dogs, or 6 steaks done in a half hour, start to finish, using charcoal? Do tell. Edumacate me.
