Looking for suggestions/recommendations on a charcoal grill. Looking for a 22 inch or greater. Was hoping to purchase the green egg but first quarter business did not go as planned and i need to scale back on my purchase. Looking in the $300 to $400 range. Any ideas?? Thanks
Want to add something for family or when friends come over???
Add a hettle Pizza kit to it
Oklahoma joe smoker. Can’t tell you life span but it is a good smoker.
I have always eyeballed weber but thought they are over priced.
We just bought one today. How is cooking with infrared?
I have the big one, the small one just for a couple of steaks...and the gas grill for when I’m being lazy.
That’s right, I have 3.
And all first rate. By design. And quality of manufacture.
Weber performer deluxe. Propane starter for coals. Awesome grill.
If you cant get an egg go for a good Weber
Thank You everybody!!

Hands down. That is for BBQ. 20 hr Brisket, not a problem.
Add this if you don’t enjoy tending it.

Set it to 3 for cfm’s.
Ask your wife which pot she hates. Break the handle off. 4 to 5 Qt is perfect. Fill it with sand or gravel or heck mine is filled with rock salt. Split a brick. Place the pot at the center of the coal grate and use the brick to provide a fire break. Sprinkle your hardwood lump all around the perimeter. Sprinkle your fruit or nut wood of choice around the 1st 1/3 of the charcoal. Light with Webber grill lighting pellet right by the brick. The fire will slowly snake all the way around your pot for hrs and hrs and hrs.
For grilling, an Aussie Grill. If you don’t know how to grill turn in your man card. ;-)
Seems to work great!
Just clean the grille after each use to keep the holes open.
A stainless box for smoke wood chips helps with the flavor if you have the time.
Weber spirit gas grill
Best grill I ever owned. I’m too lazy to cover it and it won’t rust no matter how hard I try
You can buy green egg grills from independent sellers, new, for under what you say your price range is, on ebay.
For that much, you may want to consider a wood pellet grill, like a Traeger.
There was a news of interest on local TV just about this subject. I forgot the name of the top one, sorry, at the time I didn’t know you were going to ask. It was about $300. The two features that made it worthy of first place were 1, a loading chute to add charcoal while cooking, no need to move food to lift grill. 2, the charcoal could be wound up or down to control coal to food distance.
I only currently have the Smoky Joe, but had a big kettle before.
Could you.. uh.. sketch that pot/split brick(?)/charcoal ring for us?
Another vote for Weber. I have a big Weber Summit for grilling and a 22” Weber Smokey Mountain for BBQ. Have had both for over 15 years. They are worth the extra coin, IMHO.
100 dollar Webber and paint it green so you can keep up with the green egg idiots.
Will a $1000 pan make your wife cook like Julia Child? Dont get m wrong good equipment helps but the green eggs are BS IMHO.
Wait for someone to throw a gas grill away.
Then buy new parts for much cheaper online.
