    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Sun Apr 10 07:12:00 2022
    I completed a home improvement project on Friday, and called a local hauler
    to haul away the debris. I took the opportunity to clear out a bunch of junk
    I hadn't gotten around to disposing of as well, and one more thing ---

    My barbecue.

    My $139 Walmart propane grill has served me well for the past 11 years, despite not having any sort of warranty has lasted with a minimum of replacement parts over the whole time.

    It was starting to rust out after so many years in the elements, and it was time for it to go.

    I shed a tear as the truck drove down the street, and just to add insult to injury, he had to drive to the end of the cul-de-sac and drive past a second time.

    My new grill arrives tomorrow. Free assembly and installation.

    My $70 charcoal grill is around 11 years old now. It's starting to be
    pretty rusted out, but I fix it with alum foil. lol The propane one is
    only 2 years old and I spent around $170 on that one. If I lived in the
    woods full time I would get myself a really good one for year round usage.

    Nice deal.

    My gas grill was a few hundred $. It's got 5 burners plus a side
    burner. Not only do I grill on it, but I do beer can chicken, which is
    some of the most tender chicken I've ever tasted, and I have a griddle
    to put on it so I can cook hibachi style. I like how versatile it is,
    and I don't have to keep stoking it with charcoal.

    I have a separate smoker for doing brisket, ribs, pork, and smoked
    wings.

    Like I said, if I could BBQ more then once a week for 5 months a year I
    would invest more in my equipment.

    My condolences.

    Here in Spain we use wood and coal grills. Propane grills are boring for us. Bonus points because they don't require such a thing as an installation and you can move them around as much as you like. You can cook burgers for 6 people in one go with a small portable coal grill.

    Before I had kids, I had a Weber charcoal grill and I loved it. I found a brand of mesquite charcoal I really liked, and loved the flavor the charcoal of meat cooked over mesquite.

    Got sick of the mess, though.

    Same here. I love and prefer the smell/taste of a charcoal grill, but
    the extended prep time before cooking, and the need to dispose of the
    ashes afterwards has driven me to gas grills for quite a few years now.

    Ever thought of moving somewhere warmer? :)
