dangolf18 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 After 17 years we are finally saying goodbye to our Vermont Castings grill. It has had one hell of run. You definitely get what you pay for as this was like $5000 new back in the 90s. Can someone suggest a good value grill? Under $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigatoh Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hehe, my weber lasted ten years outdoors without a cover before a leg rusted off, approx 150 to $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmokealot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Switch to charcoal and go for a green egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohiba Stevie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If I had spent 5 large on a grill I would expect it to last me more than 17 years! Bad luck mate. What are your requirements? What fuel do you prefer? Will you be smoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangolf18 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think it might have been closer to 3000$ nevertheless it was expensive. Have to get rid of it bc they don't make burner replacements anymore. Not doing any smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb5783 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Everyone in my family has a weber. We have a 15 year old one that still working great at our hunting cabin. I'd recommend the weber genesis 3 burner goes for about $700-800 here in PA or the weber summit its a little more pricey at about 1200 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Weber Genesis FTW! Way under your budget, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My Weber Q is my pride and joy. Cook on it 3-4 times a week—6-7 times in summer. Add a smoker box and away you go for around $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm quite happy with my Napoleon grill... X2 Love mine and the infrared burner on it. Had a Weber and it was just as well made but no IR burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Switch to charcoal and go for a green egg. +1 on the Egg, got one for Christmas 2011 from a mate and wouldn't use anything else now. Slow smoked salmon at 165 for 6 hours yesterday than brought it up to 1000+ to sear some 3" 'dry-aged' prime ribeyes for 6 minutes - both phenomenal!
