This is a memory I hold dear, such an odd thing - but the 80's k-mart exp was an encapsulation of an era not long lived and now long past.

As for Grill / Griddle - whynotboth.gif - but I still side on Grill if only 1...sorry. I like grilled steak better than griddled steak - I know the technicalities are like "why" but, eh its a thing.

Also I did love my infared charbroil - my parents gave me their Weber 3 burner and its awesome, but the stupid wheels of all things are rusted out? really weber, cheap out on the wheels?

This thing is built like a god damn tank. Fireboard is pretty cool. Going on it's maiden brisket voyage next Saturday when I have some people over. I'd say the hopper is a little small but it doesn't really matter. They tried to upsell me $250 on a pellet storing drawer thing and I was like wut?


I like that nothing requires screws really. It's all just slide in slots and a thumb tightener.

enjoy, but you're a puss for not getting the comp cart - hope you don't plan on ever moving that pig.

grab grill grates and this:

smokercarts.com

1500 Foldable Top Shelf

Custom BBQ Grill Grates and BBQ Smoker Accessories, Barbecue Sliding Shelves and BBQ Carts
smokercarts.com smokercarts.com

and when the pain starts to chip, which it will, just start spraying oil the the exposed steel

always make me happy seeing someone go for a yoder

They didn't have the comp cart there. Unlikely I have to move it very much if at all.

I just use a cheap rubbermade container with like 4 bags of pellets in there. That lasts me quite a while as long as I'm not doing brisket which takes like half a 40lb bag for 12 hours of smoking.

I bought one of those old-school metal trash cans with a lid for my pellets.

Also, I love my griddle. a lot. But to say it can replace a grill is crazy.

My plastic tub I was using to store pellets died to the elements. I took off the lid and the plastic was brittle. So might just go the metal trashcan route.

I'm looking to buy a propane grill that I mostly just cook meals for a few people. I'd like something cheap that gets hot relatively quickly so I can grill some burgers / wings and be eating without much fuss.

I'm leaning toward whatever this is

Amazon product ASIN B087HNGXRB
Code: 
https://www.amazon.com/Megamaster-720-0988EA-Propane-Grill-Silver/dp/B087HNGXRB

but could be persuaded toward something more expensive if it's worth it.

Cheap propane grills are pretty crappy. You will have wildly different temperatures on different parts of it. I have cooked on one a lot at my Mom's house and if you keep everything moving you can get shit cooked on it but I would never buy one.

The only sub-$500 grill I would recommend is the Weber kettle.

Yeah the temperature differentials motivated me to buy a Tru-Infrared which worked well, but required too much time to heat up for regular, small-batch usage.

What's an expensive propane grill that you'd recommend?

The only ones I've used that I like are Webers. There's probably something in between that's decent but I don't have experience with them. Ditto for the more expensive stuff. Can't go wrong with a Weber but I don't know if the heat-up time would be better than the char-broil or not. I always turn mine on 10 minutes or so ahead of cooking.

Amazingribs.com has reviews on tons of grills and smokers.
