Grill recommendations

[SVTFreak]

I need a new grill. I need recommendations. I don’t wanna break the bank, but I’d like a decent gas grill. I do like ones with heavy grates (that don’t lose their heat when you drop a steak on them) and I prefer ones with bricks in them to distribute the heat, but that’s not a requirement.
1...2....3... go....

If you want something that will last more than 1-2 seasons, hard to beat a weber genesis. The spirit is ok to me, but I prefer more burners. If you want something cheap, it's hard to beat the charbroil 4 burner grill, but it will rust out at the bottom after about 2 years or so.

I was also kinda on a budget. This os what I ended up with. I love it.

I have had this same grill for about 5 years. Bought it when they were on sale for the 4th of July weekend. The gas controls are still working great but the burners rotted away pretty quickly. Piezo ignition gave up after a couple of months but seems like they all do. Bottom is rusting out. Other than that it is still in good enough shape to buy parts for and rebuild it so I hate throwing it away. Just not worth it. For under $200 I got a lot for my money in five years so will probably just buy another one. I have other charcoal pits that do all the hard stuff. Propane is just a quick convenience for me so worth it.

Always wondered about the grill mats. I'll try them!

Academy - Outdoor Gourmet.
Have had for 3 years now, had to replace the heat shields via eBay.
Put parts for grills are cheap and available.

Black stone griddle is what I went with. You can everything you can do with a gas grill and more. Gas grills don't give the meat the flavor a charcoal grill does so I figured I would prefer this. Don't regret it at all. Can cook hibachi, burgers, steaks, breakfast, you name it. You can also buy a grill top for this unit for ~$80 on amazon.

I went with the smaller one for $150 delivered to my door for free with amazon prime.

I bought one of these this year. They were on sale at Lowe's for July 4th. Very happy with it. No charcoal but good heavy grates that hold the heat. No complaints.

Explain this grill mat thing to me...

Pretty much this. I have some similar, Typically only use it for fragile fish or vegetables that may fall through the grates. If "clean" grates is what you are looking for, this works great, can even get some sear marks. But I prefer going straight on the grate.

Yeah if you are on a budget, Academy is probably your best bet, they have plenty of choices. If I were you I'd save up and get the Egg! You won't regret it

Weber!

I'm going to be investing in either an electrical or propane Weber grill once it gets cooler.

I have a Weber gas grill, its 4 years old but I will be replacing the heat shields soon. Only issue has been regulator which I have to beat on every once in a while. My next grill will be a Rec Tec wood pellet grill. You can get a 40# bag of pellets for grilling at Tractor Supply for $5.97 instead of $20-37 dollars off Amazon or elsewhere. They give your true barbecue flavor and have great reviews. Not cheap $899 but my Weber was $800. Avoid the ones sold at Costco by Taeger.

Weber Genesis.

I've had a Charbroil Commercial for about 10 years now. After the first couple of years I upgraded to GrillGrates (best accessory ever) and got a couple Teflon mats (second best accessory).
I've replaced all of the burners twice and the heat shield once.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, but by the time it will have to be replaced I doubt they will be made the same.

I got my Weber Genesis in 2006 and it is still the best. I also got a Charbroil in 2012 it is falling apart, I got it to replace the Weber LOL

I'm jumping in late! I've had expensive grills, some moderately priced grills, and some cheap ones. My experience has been that I haven't gotten the longevity or performance from higher priced models that one would expect from spending more $. Last 2 I've bought have been <$200. First one lasted 2 years. I bought a Nexgrill for $199 about 5 months and it puts out serious heat. My buddy liked mine so much he bought one too. I like to grill steak at HIGH temps. The Nexgrill meets me expectations.
