Wear items....flavor bars, grates and igniters.....

$150 every five years......good as new.

A new comparable grill is 800+.....

Been at least 12 years since I had to replace the burners. I did the s/s parts this time...see if the last longer as opposed to the premium.....

Absolutely can build nice setup for way less. As SIL so eloquently stated, when the labor is free, you can upgrade the materials...

No idea what the tab for all the materials ran but he said it was a LOT less than the quotes he got from outdoor kitchen builders to do the job.

+1 Weber Genesis. Great value. I have the SS grates on mine. Had it for 3 years now, and I might change the flavor bar things this summer. I'm intrigued by the DSC grills, but the cost looks crazy. I'd have to see one in person before I thought the ceramic grates are a good idea.

+1 on Weber genius E-310. At $700 it's a great value. Mine is 6 years old and works like new.

My Charbroil commercial 4 burner has given up the ghost after 6 hard years of continuous use, and I was this/close to grabbing a Genesis 330 to replace it (twice the price, 3 times the lifespan...). I was going to downsize from a 4 burner to the 3 burner, because I just don't need that much room.

Until my buddy offered me his Kenmore Elite 700 bling machine, which has been used about 5 times in the past 2 years. For less than the Genesis. Nearly less than the Char-broil...



LED lighted controls, halogen lights inside, rotisserie, sear burner thingy, heavy stainless...

screw downsizing, I'm up-sizing now!
