And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That tool will do it! From hamburgers-hotdogs to a smoked turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
When we sold the place and moved from Minnesota (2003) back to Washington state I bought a book on "How to grill" by Steven Raichlen, in it he suggested this Weber. I followed the directions, found a bbq site where people would answer questions and started learning. The grill works well.
Mine is 32 years old and no, I don't only use it in the summer. 3-4 times a week, all year round. I wish Kingsford had a Charcoal Club. Every year I scrape her out with a putty knife and give the inside a good wire brushing. About every other year she gets a new coat of heat paint. (on the outside only) When she's not hot, she lives in the garage. -WDS
Mine’s a quarter century old & gets used year round, from -40F to +90F, rain, snow or shine. I’ve replaced the grill grate once. Damn thing is bulletproof
Got one, but mine has a small side table that flips up and down right alongside. Handy, having that table. Not a fan a gas grills, though they do have their uses.
First grill was a baby Weber. Than one or two of the original grills. Finally a Weber Touch-N -Go since 2000. Having a hard time finding the propane regulator to start the charcoal. Had to reinforce the frame, but it's a great cooker.
I’ve used Weber charcoal grills for 50 years. I used the standard 22” grill for over 30 years, but I wouldn’t recommend it anymore. To stay affordable ($119), they’ve increasingly used cheaper and less durable parts. They’d only last 3-4 years. I switched to the “Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill 26 inches” ($429) and am VERY pleased. First, the grill is MUCH more durable than the standard, the parts are high quality. The extra grill space (26” instead of 22”) makes a huge difference: you can cook more meat and have better control of how you cook it. Also, it has a helpful thermometer built in and a much better catch for the spent charcoal.
I want to echo Rob's comments above. A grilled turkey on a Weber is fabulous! It cooks fast, they say to cook it for 11 minutes for each pound, and it's juicy and full of flavor. Plus, there's something very satisfying and defiant about grilling in a snowstorm!
My first grill was a Weber, bought in 1990. It outlasted my first two apartments and first house-call it 20 years. Died when a leg bracket broke off. I loved that grill. Got the new one and found it to be a cheap POS-and it's the "Original" as noted by Stanley above. It now sits covered and unused, replaced by a Blackstone Griddle. I can't find anyone who wants it, so it goes to the dump on the next trip/
Sadly Webber shallowed the poison pill of cheap Chinese manufacture, only some of the charcoal grills are still made in the USA and all their gas grills are Chinese POS. And I was shocked when the Webber grill I suggested my girlfriend get rotted out in two years. Covering them seems to make it worse, the condensation inside the cover eats it alive.

ReplyDeleteTough to beat, and long lasting, especially if covered when not in use.

I've done my part to support them, purchased 5 new - various sizes in the last two years.

Weber aren't bear proof. A big boar crushed ours while locking the drippings from it
