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.

My grill died this spring and I picked up a Kenmore at Sears. Works great, burns evenly and didn't take long to assemble.

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
