Time for a new grill. The Brinkman 5 burner stainless lasted about 10 years and gave up the ghost.
The current one is 8 years old, Chargriller 3001 3 burner is about dead and lasted 8. I was real happy with the fact the Chargriller seared awesome, got hot fast and was reasonably easy to grill on. It was a bit on the cheaper side and it shows in build/ construction. I was going to buy a new one, it is not worth rebuilding, but price has almost doubled. I'd prefer to get more for my money at double the price.
It'll sit outside, with a cover, be used nearly weekly, more in the summer. I want a side burner, i do occasionally use them. I like the idea of a searing station. Minimum 3 burner, 425 sq. inches of main cooking area. Needs to be capable of a good sear.
No current interest in a pellet grill, just prefer the propane option, especially during power outages which we experience several times a year. They don't last long but are typically inconvenient.
Budget, ugh! Several of the Webers look nice, but at $800 - $1k, I'm not sure the value is there. Value vs performance is important.
Preference is to stick around $500, but I could be convinced to increase if the value is truly there.
Any recommendations for those who have recently, in the last few years, made a similar purchase?
