RockRaines Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Maybe we can turn this into a summer grill recipe thread eventually, but I have some questions for the guys who own grills: I have 2 decks so I have a cheap, crappy charbroil on my roof deck since its exposed to the elements and I dont care about it. Because of my experience with it, I know now that on the deck outside my unit, I want a grill that will cook much more consistently and will last longer. Currently I have a 6 year old portable coleman unit on there that is great for tailgating but sucks as a primary grill (cast iron grill plate instead of open flame). The question is what kind of grill do you have and how much do you like it? I am on the fence about buying a new Weber Q 320 (my deck is about 50 inches wide) but the price point (330) seems high to a guy that has been buying crappy gas grills that rust out every 3-4 years. I cook primarily fish, steaks, veggies, burgers, sausages. I would like to expand into other areas like flatbreads and pizzas as well as whole chickens and anything else I can come up with.

Steve9347 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Honestly, I bought this one when we bought the house (2007) and couldn't recommend it enough. http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-Grills-G...catalogId=10053 It has all the bells and whistles, and hasn't rusted at all (I use a $40 weather cover when not in use, and obviously bring it in over the winter). Now, I always clean my s***, so that hasn't been an issue. Anyway, this grill has been strong, has never faltered on me, and cooks all types of meat to perfection (but really, anything with even heat and your brain can be cooked properly). Just take care of it or whatever you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks Steve. Its about 10 inches wider than I can fit on my deck space, I'll keep that in mind for my roof once i go up there and see how bad it rusted this winter.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This is probably far out of your price range, but my roommates dad just bought this grill last weekend. Said it's amazing, and cooked a dozen steaks in 5 minutes..... http://bbq.about.com/od/smokerreviews/gr/aapr072405b.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have one of those in michigan, unfortunately I need a gas grill for my patio based on home owners regulations and also pure speed. I do love the kettle charcoalers though. Nothing does indirect heat better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 My new home has a outdoor hook-up to the house's gas supply, so no need to ever worry about an empty propane tank, which is sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 I think I just went crazy rreading the product reviews on amazon and pulled the trigger on a Weber Q320. Hoping it leads to better grilling all summer long. Does anyone have any cool grill recipes to share? I like to grill my hot wings after baking them in the oven, gives them a nice char and good crispiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to grill my onions, make a container from alum foil then put chopped onions in there with garlic salt and a touch of olive oil and a ton of paprika. Put that on some hot dogs or burgers, soo good. Also love to just pick up a ton of fresh local sweet corn and grill up a ton, just put it right on the grill and pull off the stalk part after, no butter or salt needed either.

StrangeSox Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 My parents won this from an Ice House contest (lol) a few years back, it is amazing: http://www.weber.com/explore/grills/summit...es/summit-s-670 I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-Patio-Cad...l/dp/B00004TBJ7 It was the biggest thing that would fit on our condo balcony. Served its purpose, but not easy to cook on and no indirect heating. But if you're really limited on space, it'll do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I just grilled about 2 weeks ago. It was the last semi-decent day before all this bad weather. I'm due to buy another grill, but I'm pretty happy with the propane style cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new favorite of mine is some bbq'd pork tenderloin with a one day marinade. Comes out delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Brown Sugar, Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Chopped up Onions & Garlic. Let marinade overnight, f***ing delicious the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
