Looking for a new BBQ grill. I have a couple of choices lined up. Here they are with my opinions on them. Please let me know if their are other choices out there. I want a grill I can take with me, so not looking for built in. Thanks...
Sam's Club: Comes with option for sink. Don't really like the dark color.

Costco: Nice, but an extra $900.00 for an oven option.

I like this one. http://www.broilkingbbq.com/broilking/home.asp
Heavy duty and no annoying hot spots on the cooking surface.
When I needed another BBQ for the river house went back to BBQ Galore to pick one up and let the salesman talk me into the Turbo (BBQ Galore brand) instead. What a mistake. The broilking blows that one away.

If you're ready for a real bbq, step up to a Treager.http://www.traegerindustries.com/grill1.htm
I don't think you'll ever find an owner of one that will ever use anything else again for bbq, or much less any other cooking. From cold smoking to baking pizza. Make sure and get a model with electronic temp control. These are pellet stove feeders, not gas and the taste of the end product is great.

Riot got it right, do you want to BBQ or do you want to "Grilll", dont invite me over for a BBQ and fire up a propane grill that heats up food, but doesnt BBQ it, you guys from the south crap when you hear this stuff.

I have the Broil Mate which is the same as the Broilking, very good bbq for the price, best thing is when I need parts they are always in stock at bbq galore. Funny you mention the Turbo I have been looking at that one for my next grill.?

I have the first one but in the Cherry Hill collection color. Not sure if they still come in that color. Anyways, for the price it is awesome. It comes with the rotisserie and the infrared back burner too. Put on a good rub on some chickens and let em spin on low heat for a few hours and you will not be able to find a place that has better chicken than home.

Looks like the Costco model gives you a lot of "bang" for the buck, but I really like my Lynx ProSear, just not quite as pocketbook friendly :confused:

Stay away from Sam's Club. I burned through one in less than 9 months. Best "bang for the buck" BBQ is the Weber Gold series. They are a bit more spendy but the LAST a long time!
Dia is right, I own a butt load of BBqs short ones, fat ones, tall ones and skinny ones, and I like my weber best of all!
Good luck!

Check consumer reports, they ranked Vermont Castings very high ranked the Costco grill so-so.

I can't recommend the Turbo. In fact every time I use it I want to throw it against the wall. It has major hot spot issues, guess it wouldnt be that big of a deal except I keep forgeting where it is. On the plus side, the ignitor works every time. :rolleyes:
Also, I went to a buddies house and he had the same Q. I just commented that I had the same one and before I could say anything he told me it had hot spots also.
When I use the broilking at the river house, I am always like "what a relief". I always know what it is going to do.

O/K, I'll concede that it's not a real BBQ, but I'll put in a word for my Weber Silver series with the side burner and the smoker insert. Bought it last Easter, and it did a nice job on the leg of lamb. Haven't had a problem with hot spots, and haven't burnt a chicken since I started using it. Convenient for after-work griling, timewise. But the Southerners are right "it's not real BBQ"...
My dealer wasn't carrying Traeger at the time, and they would have sold me one if they were.

the most important things to look for are cooking surface area, adjustable burners, btu output #, replacement parts availability, possible heigth adjustments for grill, thiskness of metal, and the grill is made with welds not screws's...if you buy a well made grill with many of these areas in mind the name of the grill wont matter
that my $.02 :D

Use a Weber kettle for charcoal, and Vermont Castings during the winter when its a pain in the ass to light charcoal. Very happy with both. The VC has a lot of nice features for a gas grill. I hooked it up to my natural gas so it never needs filled.
