[spaceman]

contradictory i know, i am looking for a grill that uses propane fuel.
99.9% of the time, it'll be for two people.
it will be stored out of the elements for the winter.

Bought this for $20 from Walmart a few months ago. It hasn't given us any trouble thus far.

Is there such a thing as a decent POS?

Home Depot has weber I believe. Wally World has decent POS propane grills

Weber Q100 with Weber 6501 adapter hose so you can use refillable 20 lb. propane tanks.

Weber 6507 is a nice, albeit slightly expensive, collapsable cart, and the Weber 6550 cover.

If you get it from Amazon, whole bundle should be under $200, and they have a 30 day price guarantee policy, so keep track of items in your shopping cart after purchase to track price.

Amazon also has lots of cheap brass bristle grill brushes, too.

edit: Home Depot and Lowes should have the 14.1 oz propane cylinder that the Q100 is designed for (usually $3 in plumbing welding area). If you unscrew bracket holding cylinder in place, you can use more readily available 16 oz. camping propane cylinder. I did some rough calculations, and using these cylinders would be about equivalent to paying $100 / 20 lb. propane cylinder (under $20 refill), so once you're sure it's a keeper, I would get an adapter hose and find a convenient and reasonably priced propane cylinder exchange center around you. Walmart has a generic 4 ft. hose for around $15, but i went with the Weber one because I knew it would fit and felt it might be better quality.

the lowest price Weber at Lowes starts out at 299.99 BUT if you check ebay you might be able to find a 20% off Home depot coupon that Lowes will (should) accept.

There are a lot of fakes out there.....so make sure the one you look for has a bar code.


These are usually given to Home Depot employees periodically who then turn around and sell them on ebay.


BTW Home Depot has the same grill but they wan 319.99

I have the aussie bushman. Usually on sale for about $99 at target and menards etc. Nice grill for the price. It cooks evenly and is perfect for just my wife and I.

 

[lokiju]

Walmart carries a $20 one that works pretty well actually.

It's what my wife and I used to use before when living in an apartment since it was small but still a good size for just the two of us.

Lowes has either a Uni-Flame or Perfect Flame (forget which) 3 burner grill that's REAL stainless steel for under $150, which is very rare from what I've seen. Not sure if it was just that batch of what, but I was pretty surprised.

In that price range I would also recommend a Char-Broil. Not the greatest grills but I think they are good quality for the money.

I get one of these every year and leave it outside all winter. When the burner doesn't throw a good flame anymore, just buy a whole new grill. Kinda of annoying building it, but I'm getting quick at it.

Can you hook a normal sized propane tank up to that?

Not a good choice for a permanent grill.

You should be able to find a decent grill for $100-150 anywhere. Most grills have plenty of reviews online.

I am using a CharGrill 'Big Easy'. It's a decade + old...I just keep it covered and outside.

You buy the tiny tanks. Two tanks for $5.

I bought a decent dual burner Char Broil on Craigslist used for $20 yesterday. Definitely check that out as an option.

I then spent another $56 on a tank and some utensils to go with it.
