Looking into getting a new grill sometime within the next week or so. Currently have a basic red top charcoal grill that's a few years old. Want to upgrade (Weber most likely) but unsure if I want another charcoal or get a gas/propane grill.

What are some of y'all's experiences with Weber grills and do you own a charcoal or gas?

Get a Big Green Egg or a Weber Genesis

IMO

Propane is quicker.

Charcoal tastes better.

I use Charcoal.

Not an option sadly, way out of my $$$ range.

You'll be happy with the Webber Kettle. Great tool.

I have both. Charcoal for long cooks like chicken, ribs and such. Gas for fast cooks like steak or during the winter when it's cold out

Char-Griller Duo LINK



I have it underneath a second story deck so its out of the rain. I've had it for 4 or 5 years and it works like a charm.

I never get the flavor I do with charcoal using chips w/ gas. I have also tried cedar plank salmon on gas and its better than no cedar plank but still not as as good as with charcoal.....Hank Hill lies.

Weber Kettle ftw. Cheap works great and isn't to shabby as a smoker.
