I think it's 3 years now. No complaints. It's cast iron grates, which I like best, but they do require diligent maintenance. It's just a simple, straightforward smoker/grill. I've used it countless times. I like it a lot. It wasn't expensive either.
Thanks. No lava rocks in the Weber Q but I'll experiment a bit with other placements.
Blow its nose, wipe its @ss, and wave a matchbook at it.
Real men make their own lump charcoal.
Hence the true, original reason for the advent of warfare. All that burning and pillaging was necessary to acquire the food, fixins and charcoal for the sacred shindig...
Thanks!
Where did you buy it? HD, Lowe's? I'm thinking/hoping I might catch one at the end-of-season sale.
It's the "Performer" series from Weber ... not too many places carry this model.
(cracks beer)
(smacks skeeter on arm)
(pets dog who is never more than 3 feet away from grill during and immediately after operation.)
(opens patio door, and asks wife to send out another grill tool - STAND BY - milwaukee's best)
i ALWAYS get a FOOM from my old, beat-up gas grill - the ignitor has been broke for years, and i turn on the gas and throw in a match or use a firestick.
yes, Navy, 22 years, retired. now a crab.
Of course, this doesn't mean I don't grill during the colder months. As long as I have a path shoveled to the grill through the snow, I'll grill even during a blizzard.
Ahhh yes, it's FOON BALL time of year...I miss seeing those mishap reports...
I have electric, too. My husband and son to do the Real Fire thing outside, when the fit hits them!
and i was the safety officer in my last command. had the most entertaining lectures, too - most of the hazards and incidents i was talkin about actually happened to me.
i often commented that my current body is primarily composed of scar tissue.
Gas is for grilling and wood is for Barbecue. Direct flame vs. indirect heat and smoke. There or those who must kill it them selves first, but stocking a cow is boring to me even with a spear made with a pool cue with a steak knife duck taped to it. While I also have this primitive urge I am keeping my indoor plumbing, electronics, toys alike.
Cows, that reminds me, Just think, Do RINO's sleep standing and can you go RINO tipping?
If I recall correctly, I ordered it direct from the website. Some assembly required, but it was a piece of cake.
Thanks again!
You're welcome. Good luck. The one I got, the Super Pro, was under $200. Can't beat that with a stick. I expect to be using it tonight. Friends, adult beverages, a few guitars, maybe a fiddler, some jersey corn, chicken, peppers, mushrooms...oh man, I can't wait :-P What more do you want out of life??
You can get a hotter direct fire with charcoal than with gas however.
I think I saw them at Home Depot.
That's likely what I'm going to buy.
I like to smoke meat and have a water smoker. But it's kinda a pain to use.
The chargriller would be much easier I think.
BTW, looked at the Brinkman also, but WOW, they are mucho $$$.
