Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
I was tempted by a BGE but it's still charcoal and the round shape makes it awkward for ribs. Not sure how a rotisserie would work, either.
You and I are pretty much in the same boat. Having...

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
That's why I liked the RED. It had an Infrared design that did not cook via convection. however, the new Weber design seems to be better at channeling hot dry air away from the food than their...

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
Having been using charcoal in my old gas RED grill to extend its usable life until I arrive at a solution, and also having used charcoal-only grills in the past, I can tell you that there is zero...

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
I'm TOTALLY down with the side burner. That's what the RED had, and ironically enough, the only thing that hasn't rusted to its bones.

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
As much as the quality of the grill itself, I'm convinced that availability of replacement parts is key. Weber's product line is ubiquitous, so you can almost always find parts just about anywhere....

Re: Gas Grill Recommendations
Bingo. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a store that stocks Weber parts. Troughs for the CharBroil RED? Not so much. They last only about one year, and you have to order them online, so...

Found this on the 'net and it's as close as you can get. Positively awesome on pork ribs when slow-roasted on the grill.

4 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground black...

Re: Nikon Coolpix Settings
If it works like mine, you have to zoom in/out until the flower turns yellow which indicates optimal setting, then let the autofocus do its job.
