OT: Best price on grills?

[SmellsFeeshy]

No, not the kind that go in your mouth :).

I’m looking to buy a Weber Genesis grill. Are there any places local that might offer a better price than Home Depot/Lowes? I think I’ve heard of some places off Morena Blvd that carry cheap appliances but I’m not sure if that extends to grills or not.

Time is valuable

From Lowe’s:

We guarantee our everyday competitive prices. If you find a lower everyday price on an identical item at a local retail competitor, just bring us the competitor’s current ad and we’ll beat their price by 10%. If a competitor is offering a percent off discount, we’ll reduce our current price by the same percentage discount that the competitor is offering.

Interesting to know that they will price match + 10%. Now if I could find a cheaper place locally to get them to PM to that would be great :).

Not sure if you are willing to go “pre-owned” but I just got a 5 burner full stainless steel kenmore with a rotisserie, lights, side stove with a full tank of propane for $100. The guy bought it 6 months ago for $800 and was unloading a lot of stuff because he was moving to the east coast.
I’ve seen some pretty nasty grills on craigslist but if you can find one like this that had super light use its worth it.

Yeah I know it’s possible to find a great deal on craigslist but I was looking for pretty specific features and size, also I needed something that was not pre-assembled as I don’t have a truck or SUV to transport it.

I ended up buying a Char-Broil 2-burner RED Infrared grill from Home Depot. I really wanted the infrared technology since I grill a lot of steaks. I just couldn’t justify the price for the Weber, especially since only the high end models have the sear burner feature. Also the size of the Genesis was just too big for a two person household.

I bought my weber at Amazon $699. Free shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Wonderful grill.

Char-Broil performs fine, but make sure you keep it clean & covered or it will rust. Like the Weber because the SS holds up really well.

The best advice I can give when shopping for a grill is to take a magnet with you. Anything that the magnet sticks to, just imagine it rusted because that’s what it will be in a couple of years. The grill I bought from Costco (don’t remember the brand) only had ferromagnetic metal in a ring going around the control knobs. So far after around 5 years that is the only part showing any signs of wear.

Someone posted a link to this site a few years back. I just did a word search for “grills”.

A few grills, including the Weber Genesis.

I have had a char broil RED for almost a year and love it. It gets plenty hot to sear steaks . I also use a pizza stone to make brick oven type pizzas on it with much success. Enjoy!

I bought a Big Green Egg off of Craigslist for cheap about a year ago. Nothing cooks like it. I cooked ribs on it slow and low last night. It’s a cult following but once you become an egg head you never can go back to propane or natural gas.
