LOL. Fact check true.

They work pretty well in winter or for a quick couple burgers.

Guy sounds like a faggot to me.

It does lack sear. Nice smoky flavor. There is a propane-powered sear device attached to the side.

Sear box is on the right. Really nice to do hours-long smokes without feeding wood or charcoal.

Thanks. Very interesting.

I just bought a 36 inch Blackstone grill. All I can say is everything tastes just like it came out of a restaurant. The best thing, with the big family I have, is you can cook egg, bacon,sausages, pancakes, and home fries all at the same time. Now I have to figure out how to bring this inside for the winter. ( just kidding)
I guess heating it up is about the same but it might be hard to regulate unlike gas.

“Electric grills are gay.”

Tell that to Big George Foreman.

Although, for the most part, I agree with you .

[Mariner]

I can see the value.

Easy like a gas grill. Add wood smoke when you want. Precise, even temp all around.

AND had inserts to convert it a griddle. Because no matter how good your fan over the stove is, whipping up bacon, pancakes and eggs is likely to at least partially foul the air in your kitchen and more.

Ditto here!

“In any event the taste will be inferior to a simple Weber Kettle.”

You can slow smoke with it and use hickory or apple or mesquite chips.

We’ll see how well it works during the heatwave power outages.

Let’s take a minute and back up. I am not a hyper-masculine guy. I drive a VW Golf in Texas, surrounded by Ford F-150s, and my partner handles most of the cockroaches we find around.

It's not just the electric grill that's gay ...

“Tell that to Big George Foreman.”

ONE exception.

Literally EVERYONE else I’ve seen using an electric grill was gay, which was pretty OBVIOUS since they wore nothing below their belt-line.

[Blennos]

I have a Weber Summit S-670 for grilling 

We have the same grill. Decent grill. I'm not sure I'd buy one now. They've gotten crazy expensive.

[ETCM]

I bought it for about 1/3 the current price almost 15 years ago. At the current price there are better options.

[Tommy Revolts]

So gay.

If you can't cook over wood then it ain't grillin.

You should've just bought a George Foreman
electric and saved yourself a ton of money.

1.) Getting excited over grill marks is a sign of ignorance.

2.) So is beer can chicken.

3.) Electric grills/smokers are a joke.
