Can anyone help me find a grill????

I read most of your requests and didn't see anything about it needing to be inexpensive, SO...

This sounds like the ultimate grill for your needs, and mine:laughing:, so, if you buy one, buy two since I showed it to ya.

Wilmington Grill

Half Griddle Kit

Side Burner

Could wait for you to make one! Gonna hold off until I see a youtube video of p-nut cooking up a bunch of burgers for your EA company picnic

Those look nice but no price on website anywhere I saw. Must be one of those things where if you gotta ask how much it costs, you can't afford it

Weber Q - some look to have the griddle insert as part of the side table. To me, that would be same as half grate, half griddle. But from the pics, they all look really small. Even the 3200 which seems to be largest (that i saw online anywhere at least), looks really small. Typically, just cooking for the 2 of us so no big deal, but if you did have a gathering, would grill size be an issue?

Of course with current large char-broil & 4 burners, even when it was brand new, it's not as big as it looks......Sure the grate has a lot of surface area, but the heat is so uneven, never put anything around the edges. So I guess if the Q was pretty even no matter where you placed something it would effectively be similar in size????

Ha, I wouldn't put it past Ted. :laughing:

He is a huge fan of grilling and grills. Just as our customers demand the best when shopping for grapples and attachments, Ted demands the best in grills. Wilmington has been his grill of choice for many years!
I think they start at around $1,500, but they're completely stainless and should last for-eva.

This one is sitting outside of my office for me to walk by every day! hmmmm

I've had my NC Made Holland Grill for 12+ years and it is going strong, but if/when I replace it, I'll be for another Holland or a Wilmington.
Yeah, I love some grillin, too!

I'm surprised the no one has mentioned the ceramic grill/smokers.I was a big Weber fan for years then got a Charbroil off set smoker that I really liked but it took a lot of babysitting. One year, when I was still fishing, I read, on a fishing forum, about the Big Green Egg. We were having a really great year for Albacore Tuna and I was looking for different smoking options. Well after doing a ton of reading I bit the bullet and bought a large BGE and never looked back.I later bought a medium BGE from a guy that had won it at a drawing someplace.
The ceramics, and there are many brands, are a new rendition of the old Asian Kamado cookers that were made of clay so pretty low temperature. I use mine for everything from grilling fish, steaks,chicken or about any meat to baking bread and cheesecake. They are an amazing pizza oven. They are unsurpassed for low and slow smoking of pork butts or briskets.I have done 20 hour cooks on one load of charcoal and had fuel left for 2 or 3 cooks later.
They burn lump charcoal so are a little messy and more work but the difference in quality of food is well worth it.
My youngest son had tried every thing from Weber to Blackstone to the pellet burners and thought they were ok but he bumped into a deal on an extra large BGE and grabbed it.He kept one of the old grills to store his tools and accessories in then put the rest out on the curb.
Ceramic fans are a little snobbish and say gas burners are a half step above a microwave. Different strokes for different folks,I hope you find something that you and your wife will be happy with.

I have an all Stainless Rec Tec (RT-700 Bull) and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. I grill or smoke all the time. Average 3 to 4 days a week since I bought it. Never gets old.

I have sear kit and could also buy a griddle kit for it, but I haven't tried to cook eggs on it yet, but smoked eggs do sound great. I have grill matts for veggies or fish whatever that could easily do bacon or whatever else.

I open the App on my phone when I walk out of the grocery store with my meat of choice for the day, turn the grill on and set the temp that I want to cook at, and by the time I get home, the grill is at the set temp and immediately ready to cook. The food is crazy good. I even cook frozen pizzas on it regularly and the smoke on the pizza takes it over the top.

Yeah - BLONDE or BRUNETTE. And they said I needed glasses. HA

Wilmington grills are very nice also linx Sedona nice as well but can be pricey. Had a ducane for 12 years but no product support now after Weber bought them

I was only offering an observation not a monetary comment. If that was offensive to you I’m sorry

I bought the 144 lb. "Big Green Egg" (Japanese did not call it that) in Japan in 1967.
Flew it back to my USN base in Spain (I was the pilot), then took it back to the USA for a total of 20+ years use.
The clay finally got brittle, and I reluctantly threw it away.
I miss it ! Absolutely the best cooker I have ever owned.
Paid $35 in 1967, with weatherproof vinyl cover, and wheeled stand (and free airfreight).
I am astounded at the "Big Green Egg" prices today.
Guess I'll stick with my Weber, as a second best.

Couple years ago I was at Lowes when they where getting rid of their Summer stuff and putting what was left on sale. I bought the last Oklahoma Joes BBQ they had for less then half price of what it was listed for before the sale. It's been an awesome grill. Very heavy duty and big enough for the largest parties. I saw that they also sell a combination gas grill and briquettes grill that looks heavy duty that I might have been interested if I didn't already have the one I have.
