Who makes the Best Gas Grill for $500 or under?

Any links to list, consumer reviews, or recall information would be most helpful. I am considered about well they perform against the elements (rust), ease of cleaning, etc.

I am wanting to know a good gas grill for about $300. ?

I have been looking at gas grills for a Christmas present. Obviously Weber is top of the line if you can pay $600 for their low end. I have seen mixed reviews on Charmglow, Fiesta Blue Ember, etc. So any suggestions????

Outdoor gourmet grills at academy reviews?

I have read some reviews mostly from three or four years ago that indicate they are a POS. I am interested in the outdoor gourmet stucco island three burner gas grill 499$. Has anybody had experience with this one rusting out too? The wife is in love with it… Any reviews would be helpful!

Where does the ground wire go on a gas grill?

We just bought a gas grill from Home Depot: http://reviews.homedepot.com/1999/100497225/reviews.htm I got it all put together, then I was ready to put the knobs on, well,in the bag of knobs was a ground wire. I have no idea where it's supossed to go. I backtracked the manual and set up instructions with no luck. It does have an electronic ignition switch, but I can't see anywhere that it could go. Does anyone know where it goes, or if it is necessary to put on? The ignition switch only takes a AAA battery. FishLakeGuy, I did see that as well, and I went back to the instructions and still couldn't find anything. I'm just thinking we probably don't need it.

How would you clean a rusted barbeque grill?

I got a used charcoal grill and the grate where you cook on is rusted…. It is a discontinued "San Diego Chargers" grill and an odd shape and the part you cook on is rusted. Is it possible to clean it?

I just bought my first new grill(charcoal) and I am trying to put it together, but….?

but the main parts(ie the smoker and the other thing….I am new to grilling and I am not sure what its called) are covered with this sticky stuff, I tried just wiping it down with warm water because the parts are not put together yet, but it is not working.

Charcoal Grill? Should I be careful?

I know carbon monoxide is released from charcoal, but will it be harmful? How many PPM (parts per million, right) is released? If i'm cooking outside then it probably won't be a problem, but what if I'm standing next to it the whole time

I bought a cemetery plot and would like to use it the summer for miscellaneous activities. Is this acceptable?

I’m in my early 30’s and recently purchased a cemetery plot. Rather that let it sit there and receive any use from it until I’m dead, I’ll like to partake in some summer activities this coming year. The grounds are kept so nice and the grass is so green, I’d like to sunbathe on it. I’d also like to get outdoors and use it for some stretching, yoga and even cookout on my portable grill. I’ve told a few of my friends about these plans and they state the cemetery may not let me “hang out” there. I disagree – I bought the land and have the paper work to show anyone who may oppose my recreation. So, I guess my question – Is this acceptable? Don’t I have the right to do as I please, as the plot is mine?

Noisy Regulator on my Char-Broil Gas Grill – HELP!?

I bought a new Char-Broil gas grill this year, and ever since I bought it I've had this problem with a very noisy regulator. At first, I learned to ignore it, but now it's just getting annoying. I bought a new regulator and replaced it… but that didn't work. It only happens when you turn all the burners on high. I went through 4 propane tanks, thinking it could be the tank – but that didn't solve the problem. I cleaned out all the holes on the burners where the gas comes out of, and that didn't help. I'm clean out of options. I don't want to return the grill, because it's gotta be something so easy to fix, I just can't find out what it is. Help! Before you answer this question, please view the YouTube video I made of this problem, so you can see for yourself how loud this SOB is. I hope someone can help! Thanks so much!! Here's the link to the YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3WUddbtt4o

When I turn on my grill it appears that the gas is coming out the regulator vent. Can this be fixed/replaced?

The grill is about two years old and has been working well until just recently. Gas is clearly coming out the vent in the regulator, which obviously prevents me from lighting the grill. Can I just replace the vent or is there an easy-but-not-obvious-to-me solution?

I just bought a charcoal grill and i want to start experimenting with different kinds of meats. When grilling barbeque chicken what are some things i need to know like preparing the grill, grill times, tools or utensils, and additional things i might need to know about. Any barbeque sauce recipes would be helpful too! So if i put the charcoal on one side i want to put the chicken on the other side? Also the 2-3 zone setup should i build a bigger pile of briquettes and then a smaller pile then an empty space for those flareups? I have a small to medium size grill.

How to grill chicken successfully?

I have a basic charcoal grill nothing fancy, but have always had trouble grilling chicken. How do I do it successfully? I don't need a recipe for a marinade or anything like that. I just want to know how to grill legs and thighs on the grill without it taking me three hours because I'm so scared of serving raw chicken, which is also a problem I have. Sometimes certain parts of the leg are cooked but the wider top part is sometimes raw. And how do I keep it from sticking to the foil. Should I use foil? I always use foil because I don't know if it's good to have the chicken right over the coals. Thanks.

Can Filet Mignon be made in the oven?

Ok, I'm on a diet and am in the mood for beef, but it has to be lean. I have an electric stove and no outdoor grill, so I was planning on wrapping it in foil and sticking it in the oven. I have already seasoned the meat the way I like it. How long should I leave it in the oven if I am gonna cook it that way? The meat is about 2 inches thick. Does the fact that the stove and oven are electric make any difference at all?

Any tips on how to have that delicious smoky flavour when using an electric griller?

My mom bought this electric griller with Teflon surface so the meat doesn't stick and burn. We have been using this griller since then because our outdoor griller is pretty old and broken. Plus, the electric griller is easier to use and doesn't get your hands dirty unlike with the one using coals. But the thing I've noticed is, the meat, although looking all delicious and not charred, it always lack this tasty smoky flavour you get when you grill meat using coal. Have you guys experience this as well, or is it just me? Why is that? Do you guys have any helpful ideas or tips that perhaps can give this smoky flavour back into the meat? I don't really want to go back to grilling using coals if I could help it since it's too much work. Thanks!

If I have an outdoor electric plug which has a 20amp breaker,but I need 60amp.Can I just change the breaker ?

It was used at once to plug in lights when grilling outside at night, but now I have a traveltrailer which I would like to hook up constant power when parked in the yard so my wife and I can get away (children) for quiet time. At the elec.box the breaker is a 20amp but the trailer has to be a 60amp or it will keep tripping the present breaker. Can I simple just change the breaker at the box and do I have to change the wire thats there now to some other size? The wire there now is the 12/3 (yellow color wire) THANKYOU FOR ANY HELP FROM ANY ELECTRAINS OUT THERE.

Cooking salmon- best methods?

I want to find a reliable way to cook salmon the way my boyfriend and I like it- just barely done, very soft and moist. I think it's nasty when it gets firm and light colored, but I don't want it totally raw either. So what's the best method? Oven? Broiler? Stove top? Grill? Covered or uncovered? Wrapped in foil? I've tried lots of ways, and sometimes it turns out really good, and sometimes, not so much. If I could find a way that always turned out great, it would be awesome. If you suggest an oven or stove, temperatures/settings would be helpful. Here are the cooking methods I have available: -Gas oven -Gas broiler -Gas stovetop -Gas outdoor grill -Electric indoor grill (Foreman) -Electric toaster oven The only thing we like to put on the salmon is a little butter and some Old Bay, so sauces are not preferred. Rab- would something like parchment cooking paper work? Is that what you're talking about?

BBQing ribs with indirect heat on a gas grill?

I have a 5 burner gas grill. If I put 3 slabs of ribs out from the center and only use the two end burners at medium heat to cook them on indirect heat, about how long should they cook? I plan to sear them on hi heat very quickly first. BTW, as a grill enthusiast I can't think of anything more nauseating than boiling ribs before BBQing them.

I cooked some pork sausage and hamburger mixture on a small portable grill. When the meat seemed done i?

added it to a pizza I was reheating in the microwave. The grill was kind of burnt so I didnt try to clean it right away. I just poured some water on and forgot about it. A couple of days later when I remembered to clean the grill it had worms crawling across the surface. I've never seen anything like that. Does it mean these creatures were in the meat and survived the cooking process? And that I ingested some of them? And I'm going to wind upgetting trichinosis or something? Grown-up answers only please. I'm freaking.
