GTA Poker;368263 wroteI had to sell my Weber in Cali and have now been BBQ less for over a year. Took a look ata store today and prices were about 1.5x what they were in the USA...will have to take a look online for a Weber Spirit, was a great BBQ
Would think there would be sales this time of year? Same BBQ I purchased for $399 in California is $599 here.
Broil King quality?
I should mention that I don't take great care of a BBQ and it may sit outside all winter since I use it year round. Not sure if this means I should buy lesser quality with the intention of replacing it when it starts rusting apart or buy better quality?
You sound like you treat your bbq like I do. Thus, at one point I decided that I shouldn't buy anything terribly expensive because I'm just going to wreck it anyways. Just adopt the philosophy that it's a thing that generates fire and you'll be fine with whatever you get and replace the burners every few years. You have technical skill, it's very easy to do.
Took me 10 minutes last summer and it was like I had a brand new bbq.
Sadly, every handful of years you just dispose of the carcass when necessary.
