exterior gas grill recommendations
Comments (97)Webers are everywhere, I have owned a couple through the years friends have owned them and they are fine grills for the price (the charcoal ones) But Webers you can buy everywhere, are far cheaper depending on the model, have tons more advertising so of course you are always going to have more people recommending something of which virtually everyone has or have owned. That's like saying on a post about Beer. 1 count the number of people that recommend Budweiser 2 count the number of people that recommend Deschutes Brewery, "The Abyss" Bud is one of the worst beers ever brewed, it is classic horse pee as far as beer goes. YET it sells more than any other American beer, nothing comes close because it is sold everywhere and puts out many millions in advertising. 1000s upon 1000s would recommend Budweiser as their beer of choice in this country. Now Deschutes Brewery The Abyss ale is one of the very best beers in the world, not just the USA. That would be my recommendation for the best beer. Now which one is truly "better"? Horse pee with millions in advertising that is available on every street corner in the country for cheap or truly one of the best beers in the world, only available from one place and only a couple months out of the year for $14 a 22oz bottle? If you only have say $150 for a grill then a good little Weber Kettle is by far the best choice. If you are talking about spending between $500-$1200 though? Any number of Kamado type grills be it the Big Green Egg, Primo, or the Vision are better BY FAR. Most of the Webers mentioned here I think are what, about $600-$900? The Vision I got from Costco was $570, less money, lifetime warranty, costco return policy, will BBQ, Grill, Sear, Smoker, Water Smoker, Pizza Oven, Wok, easy to start, very efficient use of charcoal, can maintain almost exact temps like you can on your indoor range from 200 up to 800+ degrees. So $570 Kamado or $600++ Weber Gas is a total no brainer as far as usability and value for the money. If Avid still prefers Gas no matter what then for the money the Solaire Infravection grills are far better than the Webers though cost a few hundred more, but what is an extra $200 when you are spending $1200 when you get a far better grill? Lower priced Weber Charcoal grills are hard to beat. If you are spending $900-$1500 then there are certainly better options for that price. and Charcoal beats the heck out of gas for absolutely everything except for ease of use....See MoreUrgent-Grout color help needed for pool fountain wall
Comments (4)That's ok, I would maybe openly suggest consider other than white grout because visually that's all the eye is drawn too and at first sight its busy and so many times I hear "were just happy its done". With so many designs and colors its over whelming. Stick with your first . I always enjoy hearing visions color/contrast stone/tile and Eq.

Comments (0)I have an exterior patio that is partly covered and partly uncovered. The covered part is protected from rain and other like elements, but all of the patio is subject to the outside temperatures and humidity levels. I have a contractor who is supposed to be installing a porcelain tile floor for me over the existing (and sealed) concrete floor. He is telling me that because the humidity outside is over 60% that he doesn't feel that he can commence the installation without a high risk of the tile not properly adhering. He said that the manufacturer of the thinset he uses recommends installation in conditions of 40% humidity or less. He said that based on personal experience he is comfortable installing in condition of 60% humidity or less. I inquired about other thinset options intended for exterior air conditions like we are experiencing in our area, and he said that what he uses is the best (of course he would say that). Does anyone have any experience or knowledge in this area who can help? I'm wondering if maybe he is using this "technical" excuse to cover for some other reason why he doesn't want to start right now (thinking that I won't know the difference and just take him at his word). Please advise. Thanks in advance!...See MoreRecommendation on exterior paint for Spanish Colonial
