Anyways..

I'm in the market for a new grill. I love the Weber Summit series, but don't like the price (800-900)

Anyone know of any good alternatives?

I've had brands other than Weber before, and was NOT happy with them. Flame-up problems, uneven heating, etc.

Let me know.. thanks!

Jenn-Air, best grill I have ever owned. Not super expensive but not cheap either. All the other grills I have ever had ended up in the garbage, I doubt this one will anytime soon. I have had it for about 4 years now, that's when the others are falling apart.

Forgot to mention.. Has to be propane gas. I live in a high-rise..

I already have the Weber Charcoal and love it. Too bad I can't use it!

The Weber "Genesis Silver B" was picked by Cooks Illustrated magazine as their Best Grill AND Best Value in a test about 3 years ago (the slightly larger "Silver A" came in second, but it was a hundred buck more if I recall).

Weber recently stopped making the "Genesis" series (including the even more expensive "Genesis Gold" line) but you might try calling around to large hardware outlet stores to see if they have any left in stock - they might even discount them to get 'em off their hands.

Replacing the economical Silver series is the Weber "Spirit E-310". About.com named it one of it's Top-10 Under $500 grills of 2007. You can see the entire list here or just read the review directly .

Good luck with whatever you end up getting. Grilling rocks!

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

I think a good one to go with is the Weber Genesis. It's a little cheaper than the summit, and a little bit smaller. Here is a site with a good weber e-310 gas grill review that you could take a look at. It has more than I know about it, but I own one, and I can tell you that it will last a long time and I recommend it.

good luck!

I recommend buying whatever you buy from a Sears store.
Their service is fantastic and a warranty is a warranty.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
