New propane grill shopping

[Jeffs FRC]

So its time to replace my Weber Genesis 3 burner that is at least 15 years old. Grill still works perfectly, but the framework below is rotting away so its time. I'm leaning towards replacing with another Weber Genesis 3 or 4 burner. My question is, should I be looking at other makes of grills? Would like to stay around $1k.

Reasons for another Weber are reliability, durability, and ease of parts replacement.

you could potentially reach out to weber and see if they could do anything for your current grill...

and imo. i dont think there's any reason to look elsewhere for gas grill's in that price range than weber.

Weber FTW
Not sure how comfortable you are with buying on Offerup. Some decent deals to be had on brand new grills in the factory packaging.
I bought a snowblower like that 3yrs ago and has been flawless.

LOL thanks for the tip. I have a Weber Smokey Mountain as well that I use when I want to feel manly. On work nights when I need to fire up a grill quickly to get shit going, I'll take my womanly propane grill every single fucking time.

I doubt they're going to do anything with an old ass grill that is left outside year round not covered. This grill has served me well for a long time and has had zero issues in that time so its just time for me to pony up!

Everything has it's place. There's nothing better than firing up my smoker at 5am on a weekend when I have nothing to do(which is rare now with kids), on a beautiful day while sucking back some fine alcohol and stinking up the neighborhood with mouth watering smells. It's honestly one of my favorite things to do.

it's because you don't know what you're doing.

it's okay though, i forgive you.

Also just a FYI about purchasing of Offerup. My Weber Spirit fell off the back of a truck 6-7yrs ago. I have called and got parts (new burner tubes) on warranty without having a receipt.

The last time I replaced the grates on my current Genesis I went with cast iron. I fucking love them!

But the burgers, dogs and chicken taste so much better when cooked from a charcoal grill

That might be true, but cooking on a gas grill is better than cooking inside, and a gas grill is more convenient than a charcoal grill so it’s still a good option. I say have both. Gas grill for when you just want to throw stuff on real quick on a weeknight. Charcoal for when you buy something real nice on the weekends

charcoal is plenty convenient if you plan for it.
