We live in University City – so about 1-1.5 mile from the beach.
We have a 20-30 year old weber kettle charcoal grill. You know, the old school black grill that was common before propane and nat gas grills became the rage. It’s still going strong, no rust, indestructable.
It may not be as “instant” as the gas grills.. but the food tastes as good or better. My husband was given it, used, when a neighbor moved. This was in Philly. It has been left outside in the snow, rain, June Gloom…. No rust.
