dangolf18 Posted August 22, 2013 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.
Zigatoh Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Hehe, my weber lasted ten years outdoors without a cover before a leg rusted off, approx 150 to $200

saintsmokealot Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Switch to charcoal and go for a green egg.
Cohiba Stevie Posted August 22, 2013 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?

dangolf18 Posted August 23, 2013 Author 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.
jrb5783 Posted August 23, 2013 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
Lotusguy Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Weber Genesis FTW! Way under your budget, too.
TheBaron Posted August 23, 2013 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.
LLC Posted August 23, 2013 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.
Habana Mike Posted August 26, 2013 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!
