Honestly nogood if you have the money I'd buy a Traeger BBQ/smoker. Traeger Pellet Grills - Taste the Difference!

Otherwise go propane, and just make sure its something you like. Webers are good, but honestly unless you are spending $1000 or more, brands make little difference. Just don't buy at walmart or Target or anything like that.

wow that av creeps me out

^ lol

Will that one be sufficient, size-wise? Do you have a particular target price range?

yeah, less than 300 with taxes...this comes out to 270 with taxes....


is it a good buy??

and oh yea...cooking for 2 mostly

Yeah I think it's a good price, esp. in Cdn dollars. Looks like they knocked it down from $299, plus it's got good reviews. One thing I need to warn you about though. There were three things I didn't like about my Broil King when I had one. First, they coat their cooking grids in porcelain (it even mentions that on the home depot site). After a while, that porcelain coating cracked on mine. Secondly, mine had twin burners, a left one and a right one. The heat wasn't equal on each side. Like if I cranked both to high, one side was significantly hotter than the other, and that irritated me. Mind you, my Weber is like that as well, but just not as bad, so maybe that's just the way grills are unless you dish out the big bucks. Anyway, third thing is that the ignition stopped working after 1 season.

Okay, you're going to want to kill me, but after remembering all that, I'm wondering why I recommended this brand to you. :rolleyes:

Oh wait. I just realized that you're looking at a Broil Mate, not Broil King. I have no experience with BM. Wait, that sounds wrong. I have plenty of experience with BM. But I have no experience with Broil Mate.

You might poke around BBQ Source Forums (Powered by Invision Power Board) a bit although they're a bit light on Broil King. These guys don't mess around, but are pretty friendly.

I have a "Char Broil" that I got from my fiancees parents a couple of Christmas's ago. It sucks. I can't get rid of it though because , "They'll know."

Regarding automatic ignitions. Do not let this influence your decision. They all are crap. Ever barbecue I have ever owned have has the auto ignite die within a month, on every single barbecue. Get a stick lighter, 2 for a dollar at walmart.

10,000 BTU/100 sq in will do the job. Burner coverage and even gas distribution over the burner surface are really more important. I've found that BTU ratings can be misleading.

Also, like semtex says, I've stayed away from porcelain covered burners ever since having one crack.

You know, I don't know if I just got lucky or what. But I've had my Weber for about 5 years now, and the auto ignite still works!!!

With Weber you pay for the name, but they do build a good product. Learned the hard way that chepo grills aren't worth it in the long run. Of course, I also grill at least once a week and host a couple large BBQs a year, so I'm probably a bit tougher on the equipment than most.

Life's too short for cheap booze & cheap grills ;)

One of these days I'm going to get me a full Viking outdoor kitchen...

i'm gonna give it a try............let's see what happens.....end of season, it will most likely hit the shed and stay there......review coming in Nov-Dec

I also realized it's a Broil mate........made in Canada also.
apparently, they have good Customer Service for getting replacement parts..

oh yea...when this thing breaks down, hopefully after a few years...
next grill is going to be a Napoleon..... the Cadillacs of grills....lol

laters fellas,

going to grill up some delights tomorrow....lol

Was going to say that Napoleon was more upper mid to lower high level, not really the "Cadillac" but considering the turn GM's taken, that's probably the perfect analogy.

Enjoy your grill & let me know if you need any recipes.

lol...you love my analogy.....hahahahahahaha

have any recipes for ribs?? PM me if you want to

Oddly enough, I was just looking at this:
Barbecue Ribs - Baby Back Rib Recipe

it was meant to be....ha

morn'in peeps

now that i got and built the propane bbq, do i need those ceramic briquettes??

bump??

no answer........

Yes, you need them. They catch the fat drippings and turn them into smoke, which in turn adds flavor to your meat.

so i dump them on top of the plate that goes over the burners?

the instructions that came with it are crap !!



lol...picking it up was jokes......no way does it fit in the G

so i brought the 6000 there...still didnt fit....so i played Tetris with all the parts and boxes in the parking lot with my car....hahahaha

i'll get these ceramic briquettes tomorrow and i bought a propane tank....i think i got to fill it up...doesnt say if it's full already...

Deluxe Ceramic Briquettes | Canadian Tire


the bbq is quite an adventure.....lol....simple thing but went on and on....hahaha

There is so much talk about BBQs, it could have had its own thread dedicated to it!
