I just used grill mats this weekend for the first time. I have a Weber Genesis and put the mat over a low flame (other side varied from high to low) and I opened the grill a lot. They work well and even produce grill marks. I found the mats particularly helpful for when you want something (in my...

Weber's are made in the USA. I believe the Spirit series is made in China, but the rest are made in the USA. "Weber believes that because all Weber grills and the disputed accessories are designed and engineered in the USA, and all grills save for one line are manufactured and assembled in the...

Over $5K for a gasser? Is it really better than a $2K Weber Summit?

If you are really in a bind, grill the pork shoulder on high heat to get a nice crisp, and then throw it in the slow cooker for 4 hours with some guiness. After that, drain all the liquid, pull apart and put back into the slow cooker with a nice home made bbq sauce for 3-4 hours. It will be...

Thanks. I don't mind the cold. so much as enjoy the convenience of an indoor grill. I used to use a cast iron pan when I was in an apartment. Now, I'm in a townhouse and grill a decent amount, but my 1.5 year old doesn't allow for as much grilling as I would like. That's why I wanted an indoor...

http://bluestarcooking.com/about-bluest ... r-features I heard about kitchen oven ranges with grills built-in. Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm assuming some serious ventilation (hood) is required, and I doubt you can close the grill. However, it seems cool, especially when it's...

If height is a problem, can you put something underneath the grill to boost it up? You may be able to hide the gap with matching rock.

Where was it from? Trader Joe's seems to have solid pre-marinated meat.

I'm kind of in the same boat in terms of buying a grill. I have pretty much decided on the 330. I don't believe the sear burner has anything to do with reducing grill space. It's just an extra burner that is "on demand" and heats up a section of the grill even more to achieve a sear on your...

The rotis looks cool, but I think I can sub beer can chicken instead! I think I'll go with the Weber, any recommendations between the EP-330 and E-330? The price is basically the same online, and the EP has SS grates and flavor-wave coverings, while the E has cast iron. I always thought cast...

So, I just checked out the Genesis in person and wow, it's much nicer than the Spirit. It just feels more solid and Consumer Reports has it rated at an 84 vs. the Spirit, which is rated at a 62. So, if it's between the Genesis for ~$700 (which would be ~$850 for a rotisserie kit & side burner)...

Is the Genesis that much better than the Spirit? They seem to have the same specs.

Hi. I'm a newbie and getting my first grill this month. I'm finally done with apartment living (yah!) for townhouse living. Anyway, I've only read great things about Weber grills and was set to pull the trigger on a Spirit E310, but read somewhere that it's made in China (I just emailed Weber...
