Looking For A New Grill?

12 years ago

I was.

I'm talking about an electric contact grill to replace my Geo Foreman. I came across one that I was very impressed with. I kept reading web page after web page loving it more but not finding the price. I'm thinking I'll bet it costs $200!!!

Here it is in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFJjidn9b2M

Finally found it at WS...

Here is a link that might be useful: Williams-Sonoma Grill

$200 grill? You are getting warmer. The WS says $1,499!!!!

For $1,499, George Foreman will come and cook for you. LOL!

I don't think it is an ideal grill. Sexy design yes.

It is designed to give you good looking grill marks. If you average 1800 watts of power over the actual cooking surface, there can be very little cooking power per square inch. So the cooking power is concentrated where it can give you good grill marks. all the meat in between the grill marks are just slowly steam cooked with no grilling flavor.

An uneven heating normal cooking surface has its benefits. Sear on hot spot, keep warm in colder areas.

A film heating technology can have problems, replacement will cost you a $1000.

DC, was hoping you would chime in with the reality of this unit.
Yeah, it was a $hock when I finally saw the price on WS.

Weber Grill......Advice on Grill purchase...Please help
Q

I have that Weber and am very pleased with the way it works and the customer service. I know the six hundred would have bought a bigger, snazzier looking grill in a cheaper brand but still, this is the first Weber I've ever had and for the first time, I really enjoy grilling. It does a low, consistent heat which is very nice for smoking. I bought mine last March.

from, did you see the marvin infinity with the everwood option? You would have to stain with gel stain to match your woodwork, or go for a full frame replacement. (I never asked about the full frame replacement when I had the guy out here.) I thought they were pretty nice, but only had inside the glass grids or permanent. The Pella guy told me they could actually take a sample of your woodwork and stain to match at the factory. The only thing is that it costs an additional LOT of money, imo, and there's no way I would do it. But if it's that important to you (or the wife!), maybe it would work for you. Not sure if that would apply to the grids too, but, worth asking maybe. They can also deliver the windows in advance if you want to finish them yourself and then come back for the install when they are done. Of course, that wouldn't work for the actual grids between the glass. Thanks for letting me know about the "roundness" of the Renewals. Did you happen to see the Anderson removable grids? We will drive around again this weekend, but any heads up about how they look and/or how they are attached would be great. I totally know what you mean about cost. I'm pretty shocked at the basically 1000+ per window cost. Just amazing, and why we are only doing one side of our house at a time!

OT -- had a mouse in my grill. Advice?
Q

That was a very helpful video. Thank you, CO! Enduring, I don't know if my husband will clean the grill or not. He really hates doing any sort of chores. But now that he is retired, he is doing a few new things around the house, and doing most of the grocery shopping which is really helpful. I have sent him the video and told him to decide. If he wants to break it down and clean it, I will help him, but I can't do it by myself. I have always washed the exterior and scrubbed the bars and grates myself. Plus I do all the grilling. But honestly, I don't care that much about grilled meat. I could care less if we have a grill or not. So I'm going to leave it up to him. But I'm not going to sit and look at a dysfunctional, half-disassembled grill in the backyard for months on end. Right now I have the grates out. So it's gotta get clean, or she's outa here. We shall see.

Need advice on a new small outdoor grill that won't blow us up
Q

Weber is generally not a bad choice. They on average tend to use better materials that won't fail quite as quickly. And they keep their product lines around for so long, that even years later, you can buy replacement parts. Having said that, parts do fail over time. That's the nature of the beast. High heat, open flames, and constant exposure to the elements does take its toll. You can spend a lot more money and buy super-premium brands that maybe won't need service quite that regularly, but it doesn't sound as if that's what you are looking for. Those brands target more of a professional market segment and/or large community outdoor kitchens.

Kathy - I read your post and checked out the link. My first thought was "if this woman can spend $1500 on a grill she does not need our advice!" :-)

Mustangs,
Lynx is a well known company in the outdoor bbq world. I don't care about the price. Life is too short if you can afford it and you will use it, get it. You may want to contact a bbq store and see if you can do a better price than WS.
Good luck!!!

Thanks for the tip Homepro.
It's waaaay out of my league but I thought I would pass it on because it's obviously an option for some.
