Natural Gas Grills

[Phireside]

Any opinions (it's an internet forum, of course there is an opinion) on a natural gas grill or particular brands to look at? New place has a gas hook up. Needs to be in the 40,000 BTU range. Anything other than gas/propane are not permitted per strata. So please no recommendations for a wood smoker.

Weber, had several over the years, great product.

Have you consider wood smokers? really the best way to prepare proteins.

 

 

 

Just kidding. I have been very happy with my Webber Genisis grill. There are few models depending on the size you need. Comes in at a good price range, vs quality

The Genesis is on my radar. I've been without a grill for some time at my current place but the last one was a Webber and I was pleased with it.

i have the weber genesis natural gas. its best grill i've ever had and hope to never go back to propane. i also have a camp chef smoker that i converted to natural gas. a quick disconnect and its easy to switch back and forth between the twl.

Did you go with the side burner version?

[FairwaysToHeaven]

yes i did. i actually use it more than i thought. sauces, veggies, mushrooms... etc

I had a side burner on my prior grill(Weber spirit of some sort; probably got 8-10 years out of it) & don’t think I ever used it. Upgraded last year to a genesis without the side burner & don’t miss it. I do like the “sear station” on the new one.

I live in Canada, and a propane grill will gel up and not work well when it gets cold. Natural gas will work well much later into the season if you’re somewhere colder.

 

Natural gas being tankless is the biggest pro for me. I don’t ever miss realizing I’m out of propane just before wanting to cook.

Weber is great.  The thing that stands out is how well they are built.  Mine is 15 years old. I have had to replace a few parts like grates, but these are all carried at the local hardware store.  Most of the cheaper brands will rust out and completely fall apart after 5-10 years.

I'm a Weber guy. Bought my first Weber gas grill in 2003, still using it today. My brother in law has a Traeger and he loves it but it's a bit above my price point. If you take care of a Weber it'll last you for years.
