Time For A New BBQ Grill - What Is Your Favorite?

It is time for me to get a new bbq grill. My Weber Spirit gas grill finally needed replacement after about 20 years. It was a simple two burner but worked...

Seymore101 Mine is a different model, but it's an Oklahoma Joe's. I've had it for a few years now, been very happy with it, use it a lot for cooking and smoking. Couldn't find the same model at Lowe's, but this is the one I have.

The interesting part of the one I saw, was that it was an electric pellet smoker and a propane grill. I don't see it online at Lowes or on the Oklahoma website. I am really tempted to pull the trigger on it.

Too late dudes. I bought a Weber Spirit E-330 weeks ago and very satisfied with it.

BTW, for those of you talking about Kamodo style grills, Weber now has one... It is larger than the Char-Griller version (24" vs 20") so you can fit a packer brisket on it.

Not cheap with MSRP being just over $1k:

Or a cart mounted gas ignition version for $1800:

I have just been trudging along with the good ole Weber kettle. I've thought about more expensive rigs but people seem to think the food I cook on it is pretty good so...

There was a guy from Sacramento who was on TheSmokeRing forum who used kettles for everything. He had a collection of them and I think last I saw, he had over 12 and many times, had every one of them going.
He passed away last year, but it was interesting to see his collection (largely ones he got through garage sales or Craigslist).

Yeah, you can do most stuff on them. I have yet to try the charcoal snake brisket though. That's on the "to-do" list.

I have used a snake method one time. I had a hard time keeping the temps down where I normally have it with my UDS smoker, but then again, nothing wrong with smoking a brisket a little hotter as it cooks faster and the results are still good. If I remember correctly, the temps were around 260 instead of the revered and often quoted standard of 225.

I bought a new Weber Spirit e-315 this weekend. Regularly priced $649, I got it for $464 at Home Depot.

I seasoned the grates a couple of times, and used it for chicken and sausage last night. This grill has a nice even cook to it, which I love. Hopefully that doesn't change. Since I saved nearly $200, I also purchased the griddle insert. Still need to season it. But that'll be nice for eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc.

Just hoping I get another month or two to use it before winter sets in. But I love this thing.

PA-PLAYA I bought a new Weber Spirit e-315 this weekend.

I have had one of those for a couple of years. I bought a griddle insert on Amazon. Mine did not need seasoning. It also has a non stick surface. Weber has a nice grill spray. It is non-flammable. I get the griddle hot and spray in on and slap on the meat. I seldom use the grate anymore. After cooking I turn off the heat and pour some water on the griddle. It sizzles and bubbles and I hit it with a plastic grill brush pushing the debris to the back trough. Most of the liquid evaporates and the grill is clean and ready to use next time with no further cleaning. One thing I dislike is the LP bottle storage inside the cabinet which is hard for me to hang on the hook. I wish I had gotten a model the had the LP hanging on the outside of the cabinet.

When we moved to NC, the previous owners left a Sprit 2-burner gas grill, which was great for us since my grill didn't get here for a few weeks.

I really liked that grill as it did have nice, even heat, heated fast and did a really nice job.

But, after my 4-burner Weber Genesis grill came, I sold off the Spirit grill.

So, I won a Pit Boss Navigator. Really like it so far. The high heat option works great for steaks and I did my first set of ribs this past weekend. It's a little different than I'm used to, so there is a learning curve for me on the smoking side... but overall I'm extremely pleased with how well it works and how simple the operation is.

pike51 I love my Pit Boss. I can't remember the last time that I've used a propane grill.

Blackstone. You're welcome. 👍

pike51

sdandrea1 have a Blackstone too and love it. But you can't smoke on a Blackstone.

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Which one? New or you always had one? Looking for a new grill and sadly, not heard of Blackstone before.

pike51 But you can't smoke on a Blackstone.

That's why you put a smoker on the patio near the Blackstone. 👍😉
