OK,
Been reading the threads and letting my keyboard do the walking in search of a new grill. My current grill a Charbroil (I think) just aint cutting it anymore. Besides what has to be the most uneven heat distribution I have ever seen, and steaks never really getting that great color on the outside unless they are overdone, the insides are getting holes in the pieces. This summer has really taken a toll on it with me grilling nearly every lunch and dinner I eat. I think I've used it at least 8 times just this past week.
So, y'all are big fans of Weber I see. I called them and they reccommended the E-310 to me. 3 burner, less money than the SS model. Rated good on Amazon I found out.
But, I noticed the Ducane Affinity 3100, also with 3 burners and rated very high on Amazon. SS grate (what I've always been used to and preferred, especially over a cast iron grate I had once). AND.... $250 less than the Weber.
Tell me there is more to the Weber than the porcelein grate, which I'm not even sure I'll like. To be honest, the Ducane at $300 looks like a great grill, but there aren't any dealers closeby for me to see one in person.
Anything new you folks can add to help me out? I'm going to be getting another dog soon and the savings between models would certainly be nice, but not if it's only going to last me another four years.
Thanks
