BBQ Grill Recommendations

[BuckFuller]

I have two 22" Weber One Touch Gold kettles (one with rotissery ring), a little Weber Smokie Joe, a 22" cast iron Cook-n-Kettle with rotissery, 14" cast iron Cook-n-Kettle, a Hasty Bake Stainless Portable, a small home made ceramic smoker and a custom built 24" x 6' Horizon offset trailer smoker. They are all good and cook a little diffently but based on the little ceramic smoker's performance I would definitely lean toward a ceramic (Green Egg, Komodo/KamadoJoe, Primo, etc) if I were in the market for another.

Weber makes good stuff

Hasty bake owner and fan. My mom's lasted about 35 years before it was finally time to say good bye. It was uncovered in the elements the last 10. It still could have been reconditioned by the factory in Tulsa if she wanted to go that route.

I have this one. I got the smoker attachment for it, too, but haven't hooked it up or used it yet. I have been very happy with it overall.

I've got this same grill. With a few mods, the smoker works great for backyard smokes. I never use charcoal for anything so the right is strictly for smoking on mine. Took the charcoal tray and flipped it upside down and butted it up on the smoker side opening to make a baffle. It makes the smoke more controlled and the heat better. Added grill level temp gauges and I can hold 225-235 all day on it. My only complaint is I wish the smoker box a little bigger. If you buy it, get the cover they make for it and keep the receipt! The cover wears out fast but they have a no questions asked 1 year warranty on the covers, just tell em it ripped or isn't working properly and they replace it.

If your just wanting a gas grill, my dad just bought one of those infared grills. I think Weber makes it. Holy cow, the hype is real. He made pork chops with a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Literally just a dash on each side. Hands down best pork chops I've ever had. Then the burgers he made were pretty darn amazing. If I ever change grills, I'll get one of those and a dedicated smoker.

I'm in the same boat. My propane grill of 15 years bit the dust. I MUST have a rotisserie on my new one, and I'm not picky on price. Just want the best, so I'm watching this thread.

My Weber Summit...stainless steel, stainless steel grates, side burner, smoker box AND an infrared rotisserie that works great. I've had mine for several years and other than some hail dents it's as good today as it was when I bought it. You couldn't make it fail if you tried. The rotisserie chicken is frickin awesome and it fits 2 chickens at a time although a model with more burners might fit more.

I have the Smoke Hollow 4 in 1 and love the grill! I am dealing with a little bit of rust issues, but that is easily overcome.

Just found out last night my neighbor has a Trager pellet smoker and she told me to drag it over here and use it... she's been there... three years, I think, and has never once used it!
