do you love your gas grill (that cost under 500.00?)

If so, which one is it? Ours will live on our uncovered deck, so I don't want to spend too much on this because we can't take care of it especially well.

The only way to cook out is over charcoal.

I think it was somewhat more than $500, but I've had a Weber Spirit grill for a long time. It lives in a screen porch, so not exactly exposed to the elements.

And, respect to the charcoal-only guy. You and my Dad would get along well. But, while I like the taste of charcoal better, when the temperature is below freezing, I still like being able to use my grill - heat it up quickly and don't have to spend much time outdoors with it.

This is what I have too. I've had it for about 10 years and I think it was around 500 at that time. The cheapest weber. Still in great shape, even after moving twice. We keep a cover on it, but otherwise it sits outdoors all year.

We have the low end Weber too. It is 20 years old. We have replaced some parts but it works well.

This is what I have and absolutely love it.

I also have it under a deck, but I still keep it covered to help protect it.

+2. If you're cooking on a gas grill, you might as well use a grill pan on your kitchen stovetop.

And fill the house with smoke and have the grill pan full of hot oil and drippings? Nope.

Weber Spirit grill is $499 at Home Depot:

Then invest in a grill cover and it will last for years. Our grill has never seen rain. Cover comes off to grill, then goes back on again an hour after grilling once it's cooled down.

I'd also pick Char-Broil. We've had two of them and of less than Weber, I've liked them the best.

I'll echo what PPs have said and vote for the cheapest Weber. We do keep ours covered and clean it 3 or 4 times a year.

I'm in the camp of stretching a little to buy a nicer whatever than what feels like disposable cheap stuff. See: vacuums.

We have had a Weber spirit for 10+ years. Lasted longer than anything else and still going strong. Kept it covered though. Very happy

We’ve had a Weber for 20 years— about half covered and half not and it’s in great shape (a couple parts replaced of course).

[Anonymous]

We have the Weber that is just over $500. We love it a lot. Add $80 for the cover.
