Thread: A decent 3 burner gas grill?

I kind of have an idea of what I am going for, but does anyone have any recomendations for a decent 3 burner (or any) gas grill from wall mart/sears/ect? I am about to get one to replace the 2 burner I have. I would like to keep it around $300-$400, less really, but thats around the top I would pay right now.

i got a Char-Broil grill from Big-Lots it was their $179 version for $143 after taxes
i will post a model # later when i get home. I really like it
it wasn't too expensive and fit my needs.

I will be buying
"The Big Easy Cooker"

which is a gas/propane version of the orion cooker, as soon as its on the market.

I would get a Weber
They do cost more but availibilty of parts amd accessories is why I like it, any ace or true value carries all the weber parts. The only thing to watch for is some of the newer webers are made in china are are much cheaper made.

You know...as much as I love to cook and grill, I seldom spend a lot of money on grills because I use them so often, they don't really last that long no matter how good they are. I grill all winter long even...I grilled today! lol...

But seriously, I do agree that a three burner is the way to go (great for cooking using indirect heat), and if you don't have a sideburner on your current grill, get one on your new grill...you'd wonder how you ever got along without it!

I understand Vampz. There is no "grilling season" for me. I grilled last night (steaks), and will fire it up tonight (pork chops). It gets used as much as my oven, stove or microwave

I dont mind paying a little more if the grill cooks a little better, but I wont pay more for a name because it lasts longer. My experience is the same as yours. I use it too much for that to really become a factor. Mine will wear out far quicker than most, or I will get the "fever" again and buy another in a year or so anyway.

To Dodge. I do agree that Weber makes a great Charcoal grill (the best IMHO), never tried a gas one though.

I did see a stainless 3 burner Char-Broil on sale at wal mart today for $169. It also had the side burner. I started to pick it up. My current gas grill is the same brand, and cooks fine, but it isnt stainless, and doesnt have the side burner.

Ok...if I were you, I would be all over that deal....seriously...

decent brand, good material (stainless), fits your requirements, and the sideburner while I'm sure you will love...priced well below your threshold

I would say you cannot go wrong...I'd go so far to say that I would pick up that grill and I don't even need a new one...(yet )

Haha, the best thing is, it is already put together!!!!! It has been there for a month (floor model, no boxes left). I am probably going to pick it up next week when I am off.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had some recomendations

HA! Excellent! If you want to break it in, I know a great bourbon steak recipe I got from someone on the inter....

...wait a minute. lol...

I'd love to hear some recommendations too, but I honestly don't think many are going to be able to top your find. Enjoy it!

haha, You know, I forgot about that recipe! I still use the ribs recipe though!

I am going to have to cook that steak again soon!
