Why I Like Weber Grills

I will be the first to tell you that Weber grills are not cheap. However, neither is replacing your grill every two to three years. There are a few reasons I love and own four Webers—a gas grill, a charcoal grill, a Weber Q grill and a Smoker. The first is performance—these grills are built to last and require little maintenance. Those of you who own a Honda or a Toyota understand what I mean. The second reason is that Weber is a quality-focused company that stands by its products. They have a 24/7 help line for any sort of grilling questions, and a website (www.weber.com) with recipes, accessories and grilling tips.

Those who subject their grills to punishing outdoor conditions—hauling portable grills  up mountain summits for the thrill of a go-anywhere barbecue—will particularly appreciate that Weber makes it easy to get replacement parts, so you can prolong the life of your grill. In the rare case that you need a Weber replacement part—even for the little Weber Q on your balcony in Chicago—they will send it out the next day. In all likelihood the part will be covered by Weber’s industry-leading warranty.

To sum up my review: I hear a lot of people who buy discount grills complaining about the cost of a Weber grill, but I never hear Weber owners complain. You won't have a lot of luck finding a cheap Weber Grill or a discount Weber grill unless you look on eBay for a used model or Get a 10% Coupon on eBay to use at a local Home Depot or Lowes store or wait for the end of year clearance.
