Gas Grills
Note: Not OT as gas grills are used by many at their boat docks.
We purchased a nice Ducane gas grill for the house 13 years ago and despite replacement of the burners and coals it is now on its last leg. So.....we are looking for recommendations from the gas grill users out there. We are considering this Vermont Castings unit (VM450SSP) from Home Depot: http://tinyurl.com/76azj It is not cheap but was listed number 4 by Consumers Report on gas grill assessment in their June, 2005 magazine. The 3 grills rated before this one were either in the $1,000+ range or had smaller cooking areas and less BTU output. We like the stainless steel burners, high BTU output, relatively nice size of the main grill cooking area and warranty. Downside is the price. We use our grill throughout the year and are looking for good performance and a long life for the price. Does anyone have any experience with this grill or can you offer a suggestion on another? |

It's outside with no cover. I cook on it probably 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It's held up extremely well. Weber's customer service is second to none. I can't even say how long ago I bought it, but it almost never needs service. Even if Chuck G doesn't live up to your standards for impartial, objective commentary, I still recommend a Weber. bb |

Just bought a new gas grill. Wife likes the gas, I love my offset firebox smoker. Got a all stainless unit at Costco. Looks just like the Ducane from HD. Was $499. Nicer price than the Ducane, |

For you, I'd suggest a can of Sterno and some Ballpark franks. Get someone to show you how to open the can. -- Let's pray the United States survives the rest of Bush's term.

It must suck to be Harry or Chuck due to the fact that their cachet in this newsgroup has gone form being knowledgable boaters and feared in a written duel to being laughed at everytime they post. Me, I have now illusions about my status in the newsgroup! |

I don't use gas. I've got a weber charcoal grill, and a New Braunfel smoker. I grill everything from pizza, meatloaf, lasagna, etc., along with the usual fare. The smoker I use to slow smoke pork butts, leg of lamb, beef, chicken, turkey etc. I've studied bbq techniques a LOT. I have no use for gas. You should go to a decent bbq contest, it will change you forever, you'll get the fever! |

"*JimH*" wrote in message ... Note: Not OT as gas grills are used by many at their boat docks. Also on boats. Ive seen small (butain?) grills mounted on the stern of some boats, and of course virtually every houseboat has one. On our houseboat share on Lake Cumberland, it is a stainless 2 burner Char-Broil...I dont know that model, but myself...I am a Weber man. At home on the deck, I have a Weber Summit Gold B4 piped to the houses natural gas. It is a 4 burner, with a side burner, and a rotisserie. I use this one when I dont want to mess with charcoal, or am roasting something. I can tell you, it is the best grill Ive ever owned by a long shot. These upper end grills are designed to last 20 years, and on these grills, you can get any part for them. But its the 22" Weber kettle that gets the most use. Methinks charcoal grills provide better flavor, and I have cooked so much on it, I can cook just about anything perfectly on it. Its more of a pain, I know, but I havent grown lazy enough to go to gas 100%...yet. :) I also have a Weber Smokey Mountain "bullet" smoker for great ribs, brisket, pork butt/shoulder, and chicken. Its always fun getting up at dawn, and doing a 10 or 12 hour smoke... But anyway, the best maintenence you can do to your grill is AFTER you use it. Clean it when it is still warm, and as soon as it cools, empty the charcoal/grease catch, and spray down the grills/grates/burners with a little (spray can) vegtable oil. I use oven cleaner once a year, and give 'em a good power wash inside and out. A good cover is a must as well, when not in use. My 22" is over 10 years old, and still looks almost brand new. Good luck. -- -Netsock "It's just about going fast...that's all..." http://home.columbus.rr.com/ckg/ |

Even if Chuck G doesn't live up to your standards for impartial, objective commentary, I still recommend a Weber. I have a Weber Genesis Silver B. It has held up well for 7 years being used 2-3 times a week all year. Swapped the porclain covered burner bars with stainless a couple of years ago, but nothing has failed on it. Only complaint - uneven heat. The burners are not designed to provide even gas pressure from one end to the other, so the right side of the grilling area is hotter than the left. Not a big deal for most of my cooking needs, but if you try to cook 20 burgers at once, using the entire grilling surface, the stuff on the right cooks faster. Doesn't seem to be a problem for rotissere cooking unless I try to put two things on the spit at once. I should note that I didn't pay for this grill. I received it as a gift from my employer. Satisfied enough that I kept it and use it regularly. But if I was going to spend my own $$$ on new one, I would look at others. |

I will atest to that. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I have had a Weber Genesis Silver B for seven years. It is not a stainless unit, but I get many compliments on its conditions when people hear ho wmuch I use it and how old it is. I clean it to some degree after each use and I keep it covered - - I am amazed that cover is still 100% intact after sitting outdoors for as long as I have the grill... But a couple of months I got a bit remiss about cleaning the grease pan. Well... "Honey!? Do we have any baking soda?" "Yeah!" "Could you grab it and bring it out to me... like right now?" "WHY!?!?" "Uh. The barbeque is on fire." "What do mean, 'the barbeque is ON FIRE'?" "This isn't the kind of fire you want in the barbeque.... could you hurry it up a bit please?...." Needless to say, I had a bigger clean up job after that incident. Cleaning up all the baking soda - stuff got everywhere - and it's corrosive if not cleaned up promptly. |
Thanks for all the advice folks. It is much appreciated and will help us
with our eventual purchase. |

We got a Weber with the natural gas burners and got a plumber/pipefitter to run a natural gas line with a quick-connect to the patio. We put the other quick-connect on the grill inlet hose. Worked like a charm. (My wife does the grilling because I was born without the BBQ gene. :o) I could do sausage and burgers while she could cook turkeys and all sorts of large food I would have made charcoal out of. We loved the Weber. Mark E. Williams |

Get a permit and an inspection. Then when you sell, all is OK. The permit
devision will normally even give you some advice. "Curtis CCR" wrote in message oups.com... Maynard G.

I am not looking for advice. I was asking about the guys experience and cost of having a gas line installed so I can compare to what I ran into - high priced plumbing work. I am not concerned about the status of the gas line I ran for my dryer. I have two close relatives that are long time building inspection officials, and the next time they are over for visit I will check on permitting requirements. The last time asked about this (in a previous home where I had a nearly identical situation) I seem to recall that I didn't need a permit to add less than 10 ft of gas pipe. I assume that this is still pretty much the case as neither of the two licensed plumbers I asked to estimate the job had anything in the estimates about permits or inspections.

In most municipalities.......you need a permit for everything (like replacing a HW. heater)............it is their way of generating $$$ and ngetting a peek inside your house............in reality.....most people don't pull permits for work like that.

You should always get multiple quotes, it is amazing what some of these guys try to charge to the unknowing homeowner. ( I just got quotes for removing three large trees - emeral ash borer got them - one was $3700, the other $2400...that is a helluva difference) "Most people usually just say 'to heck with it' and go buy an electric dryer, " he joked.

The permits are really cheap, but the Calif. home sale disclosures are so
bad anymore, they can come back for 10s-100's of thousand $$$ for minor stuff. "Curtis CCR" wrote in message oups.com... Bill McKee wrote: Get a permit and an inspection.
