Glad to see that you have learned not to buy anymore junk.

You really have not supplied enough information to get any Xenp.

It's not that I have OD on the Weber/Ducane koolaid.

What are you trying to cook

It's just that I now understand when it comes to Weber/Ducane grills

Can you cook etc

it's like the old Fram oil filter commericial
|
|
None of the grills you mentioned is going to last more than 2 or 3 years
|
You can pay Weber/Ducane now or you can pay them later.
|
|
Why does it have to be 3 or 4 burner
|
What people dont understand and what we all had to learn is that while
|
|
For a low cost good grill get a Weber Q220 or Q300
|
they may be more exspensive upfront.
|
|
It will last at least 5 years and you can cook any thing on it

If you look at how much you spend on the cheaper grills over the same

I am on my second Charmglow (one made by Brinkman, the other
|
|
|
Nexgrill)within two years, and both had the same problems. The burners
|
|
|
rust out very quickly. The stainless steel is inferior, and other parts
|
|
|
are just poorly designed.
|
|
|
At least the Kenmore I had only needed the burners replaced every so
|
|
|
often.
|
|

It depends on what you want to cook. I cook and smoke just about
|
|
|
everything. Meat and vegetables. I have had several grills. The one that
|
|
|
lasted the longest was an old Ducane from the eighties that lasted 15
|
|
|
years....outside without a Sovir! It was my mother-in-laws.
|
|
|
I would suggest a Weber or a Ducane.
|
|
|
I just ordered a Ducane 4400 which should be arriving today or tomorrow.
|
|
|
Four burner, rotisserie, and a side burner. It will do everything I
|
|
|
need. It was $545.00 shipped.
|
|
|
That might be more than you are wanting to spend, but it has been my
|
|
|
experience that the cheaper grills don't last and in some cases, the
|
|
|
Charmglow 5 burner I got, in particular, aren't worth the money.
|
|
|
If you want to get a Weber, you can go to home depot or Lowes and they
|
|
|
usually have incentives for you to spend more than $300.00. If you apply
|
|
|
for their card, they give you 10% off and a lot of times you can get
|
|
|
either six or twelve months same as cash payment options.

on experience rather than just opinion. Your views mirror those of many
