Gas Grills

Quoted message said:

As my old grill is on its last legs, I'm ready to buy a new one. What are some
of the better makes out there? I always heard Weber was top of the line, but
that also shows up in their pricing. I don't need a huge grill, as it's usually
only my wife and myself that I'm cooking for. I see the trend these days is
towards stainless steel. Any advantages to those other than possibly longer life
without rust? And this would be a propane grill, no natural gas. Thanks.

We just scored a good buy on a Weber Genesis B Silver @ 399.00.
It is beast, yet smaller than most of the huge Webers.

Stainless looks good and does not rust. I've also heard many complaints
that it is difficult to keep clean so I'd probably not go that route if
avoidable. It would not be my deciding point.

Weber is a good grill. So are a few other brands like MHP (Modern Home
Products) Broilmaster, Broilking, Ducane. You may want to call or visit
your local propane dealer to see what they offer. You can spend from $400
to $1500 for the better ones depending on the features you want. I do use
the side burner and the separate rotisserie burner on my Vermont Castings
grill.

Aluminum doesn't rust either. And it's cheaper.

A grill is utilitarian to me, it doesn't have to look pretty. It just
has to have lots of heat.

Aluminum certainly does rust, just turns dull grey (aluminum oxide)
rather than brown (iron oxide). Anyone who has ever been in the US
military knows very well that aluminum rusts (aluminum lockers).

i would go stainless, and gas.
we grill out all the time, (winter too) so our grills take a beating!

Thanks Sheldon that answered the question that was roaming through my brain
because I was sure aluminum does indeed rust and relatively quickly at that.

Most metals oxidize... I think only pure (24K) gold does not, perhaps
also platinum, but I'd have to look that up.

sheldoon's ignorance comes out yet again. Technically, aluminum does
rust (oxidize) but the oxide coating forms a protective layer that
prevents further oxidation. For example, aluminum boats can last for
decades. Of course, aluminum is a relatively weak metal and is not
suited for applications that require strength.

It appears you were just looking to find fault and missed the mark as
you and he both agreed aluminum does rust.He wasn't getting into any
further discussion of the use of aluminum in boats.

Only iron "rusts." Other metals might oxidize, but it's not called
rusting.
