Grills & Smokers

First of all I would really like to thank Weber for building a halfway decent product. Buyer beware on this item as I think that this grill is likely to eventually rust out if exposed to too much moisture like my backyard in Florida.

Fortunately I didn’t have to buy this product, but I would purchase it if I weren’t going to leave it out in the rain. A $100+ dollar product should not be left out exposed to the elements.

I love the fact that these grills seems to be fairly reliable. We have three of these in our backyard right now despite the fact that one of them has seen better days.

I love my Webers so much that I am reluctant to throw any of them out, even the one that has fallen apart we still use the bottom half of what is left of it. The worst Weber that seen better days is probably about five or more years old. So we still use it as a “fire pit” in the winter. We just use some sort of strange metal ring we had lying around as the base. I guess it isn’t particularly sturdy anymore, but I am reluctant to throw stuff out.

The latest Weber, the version on this site, was found as the neighbors were throwing theirs out. Not a bad deal for free, and there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it, other than the wheel fell off. A hose clamp fixed that problem, however I might be a little perturbed if I paid $100+ and had my wheel fall off. Then I might be a little upset. Alas, can’t complain if I didn’t have to pay for anything except a hose clamp.

Although when we grill on ours we put the charcoal up where the food is supposed to go and use two bricks as spacers and use a separate porcelain grill top for the cooking surface. I think we had to pay $30 for that special grill top.

I highly recommend these relatively inexpensive grills if you like charcoal. I love using mine with hickory. The ash catcher is a nice feature and being made out of aluminum, adds to the overall value. If you’re lucky you might just find one being thrown out in your neighborhood right before trash day. Just take a bicycle out and about and look. Just make sure you keep Weber your grill happy by not exposing it to the elements and it will last, and last, and last. Happy grilling. My favorite Weber moment is smoking hot dogs or hamburgers with hickory.

I bought this in a 40% off sale. My dad does the best smoked salmon in the world, being from the NW, near Roslyn Washington where the salmon run wild along with the people. Anyway, he has an expensive set up. I tried his recipe this weekend and frankly, it turned out great without a lot of problems. I did go to the Web, since the instructions were missing. I agree that they should have put a temp. gauge instead of “good, bad and ugly” (just kidding) on the temperature, but my results turned out fantastic by just putting it in the middle zone. Not having directions, I put the alder sawdust on the bottom inside the unit with 1/4 cup of water. I think that the low temperature is perfect for smoked salmon. I thought that maybe ribs or meat would not work as well. It was easy to use and since I sprayed it with oil and put the fish on foil, the clean up was easy. There appeared to be enough smoke which surprised me. On line I did find a person who recommend this unit with a pellet-type forced smoke add on to impart more smoke. I know there are better units out there but this kept the temperature even and the fish uniformly smoked and moist, even though I had it on both racks. I have a tendency to get impatient and overcook everything so this was ideal for me. Other people have said that a con is that the temperature can not be turned up. In an effort to hurry things along, I did try to max out the temperature, but alas, it would only stay at the same temperature…which was a good thing for me and therefore is a Pro rather than a Con. The racks are hard to get to since they are stacking on top of each other instead of a door opening. Considering the price and ease I would recommend. Also, it did not hurt to have Bobcat’s recipe…Thanks Dad!
