Easy Grilling with a Grill Wok

Grilling works wonders on your favorite fresh vegetables. They get smoky, crisp, and slightly caramelized.

Upload your photo here.

Use a grill wok to keep cut-up vegetables from falling into the fire.

Instructions:

1. Start by coating the wok with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Coat the vegetables you plan to grill lightly with cooking oil and season them with salt and pepper, seasoned salt, or the seasoning called for in your recipe.

3. Add vegetables to the grill wok.

4. Grill as the recipe directs, turning the vegetables occasionally with tongs or a large metal spatula to avoid burning and to cook all of the vegetables evenly.

Weber Gourmet BBQ System Review

The Weber Gourmet BBQ System is a set of cast iron, porcelain enameled cookware designed for use on the grill. I love the concept – I’ve been experimenting with cookware on my grill for years now, and I wanted to see what Weber came up with.

The Gourmet BBQ System consists of four pieces:

I should include a fifth piece. While not absolutely necessary, the Gourmet BBQ system was made to work with Weber’s charcoal baskets . The charcoal baskets are the perfect size to fit underneath the hole in the grill grate, or to move the charcoal over to the side for indirect heating.

I’m glad Weber chose porcelain coated cast iron for these pieces. I love the heavy, heat absorbing cast iron combined with the no-fuss maintenance of the porcelain coating.

I never have any luck with regular cast iron. Eventually, it starts to rust on me. I’m sorry, Greg. I’ve strayed from the one true path of black iron…

However, there is a down side to porcelain coated cast iron. I used Weber’s porcelain coated cast iron grill grates for a number of years. Each set would last about three years. Then the porcelain coating would start to crack from the high heat of the grill, and rust would start to creep up the grates from the bottom. I’m assuming the Gourmet BBQ pieces will last much longer than that; my grates would live in the grill, and have to deal with preheating and the corrosive effects of staying outdoors all the time. But I don’t think the Gourmet BBQ cookware have the almost eternal life that plain cast iron does.

Also, you can’t use metal utensils with this cookware; that will scratch the porcelain coating, and start the aforementioned cracking much sooner.

OK, enough preamble. It’s time for the reviews.

The griddle is my favorite piece from the set. When I make a side dish that might fall through the grill grate, or something that needs protection from the direct heat of the grill, I reach for the griddle. I used it for a number of vegetable side dishes as well as a basting pan for pork tenderloin, and it does the job well. Griddle: Highly recommended.

*I’ll share my Grill Pan Green Beans recipe later in the week.

The sear grate was a little disappointing. Now, it does what it is supposed to do: after preheating, it quickly sears diamond shaped “grill marks”, and they look impressive. But the sear grate isn’t very big – 12″ around – and I could only fit three or four chops on it at a time. I’m serving five or more people every time I cook, so the small size forces me to sear in batches. Also, I love charcoal because you don’t need the heat stored in the grates for searing; why limit myself to diamond grill marks when I can sear the entire surface of the food? A cast iron sear grate for a charcoal grill seems redundant. Sear Grate: Meh.*If you really want the extra searing power of cast iron, I recommend the Lodge grilling grate . It has a much larger surface area than the Gourmet BBQ Sear Grate, and the narrow mesh of the cast iron lets it do double duty as a vegetable grate. The lodge grate is raw cast iron, with no porcelain coating, so you have to maintain it carefully. Mine gave me years of good service before I forgot to oil it last winter…and now it’s rusting. I need to scrub it clean and re-season it.

The Wok leaves me with mixed feelings. It is a beautiful piece of cookware – a hefty, cast iron, 14″ diameter wok with a flat bottom. Let it heat up for a while, say ten minutes or so over the coals, and it will hold onto plenty of heat for a sizzling stir fry. But…I can’t use my metal tools with this porcelain enameled wok; they’ll scratch the enamel and ruin the surface. Also, I’m used to tossing ingredients with my carbon steel wok, using its long wooden handle to flip the contents into the air and get them thoroughly mixed. Trying to toss the contents of the Weber cast iron wok would be a really bad idea. It weighs a ton, is glowing hot from the charcoal, and has tiny, ear shaped handles. This is a wok that stays where you put it. Finally, I have to wait 30 minutes for my charcoal to ash over, then another ten minutes for the wok to heat up, just for a quick stir fry. The end result is a well heated wok, that can handle whatever I throw at it…but that is an awful long time to get ready for a quick stir fry. Wok: I’m conflicted. If you aren’t an unrepentant wok tosser like me, and if your stove is so underpowered you need to use the grill for some real heat…then this wok is a good purchase. Or, if you’re looking for a high quality porcelain enameled wok for use indoors, check this one out – nobody says it HAS to go on the grill. Me? I’ll be sticking with my carbon steel wok and stir frying indoors…but I can also see myself bringing this wok along to our cottage, where the stove is weak but the Weber kettle is always waiting outside.

(removable insert in place for grilling)

Finally, there is the grill grate with the removable center. It is supposed to act as a holder for all the cast iron pieces. I like using it with the wok; the hole in the center of the grate steadies the wok and keeps it from sliding around while I stir-fry. For the griddle, though, I leave the “removable center” insert in place. I don’t want the griddle stuck in one spot – I adjust the heat by moving it around on the grill. Slide the griddle over the coals – high heat. Move it to the cool side of the grill – low heat. Locking it in the center of the grate means moving the coals around instead of the griddle, and that isn’t as easy to do. *This is why I mentioned the charcoal baskets earlier – they do make it easier to move coals around. But…not easy enough. I still prefer moving the griddle.

Now, you would think this means I don’t like the Weber BBQ System grill grate. Quite the opposite – I love it. It has replaced my regular Weber grill grate. Why? It is a much thicker gauge wire than the regular Weber grates. I think it was meant to be sturdier, to support the heavy cast iron pieces; whatever the reason, I love those sturdy, thick bars on the grate. The only downside is the removable insert. There is no way to lock it in place, and I’m used to hanging the grate from the side of the grill. When I do that now, the center piece drops out onto the grass next to the grill. Still, I’m willing to put up with it until Weber releases a “regular” version of their grate with these thick gauge wires. Grill Grate: Highly Recommended

Don’t have a charcoal grill? Don’t worry – all these pieces will work equally as well on a gas grill. (Like I said, I’ve been reaching for the griddle a lot – both for my charcoal and gas grilling.)

The Weber Gourmet BBQ System is a creative approach to grill cookware. In summary, I love the heavy cast iron and like the porcelain enamel coating. I love the grate that holds all the pieces, but as a regular grate, not for its intended use of locking everything in. If you are looking for a solid set of grill cookware, check out the Weber Gourmet BBQ System.

Mike, excellent review! I noticed you had been testing out the system for awhile, so I was anxious to hear your take on it.

The thicker grates sound intriguing, but what I really wanted was the wok. I didn’t realize it was porcelain coated. What do you think about using “any” wok in the opening?

I agree with you on the sear great too. It looks small and I can’t help but think those diamond patterns are cheating! 😉

Again, well done!

For the wok: any 14 inch wok will fit just fine. I’d avoid one with wooden handles; they would char over the heat of the grill.

I meant to add the following to the review: suggested wok options without the porcelain coating:

Look for the Lodge cast iron wok, which I read good things about. Or for a traditional carbon steel wok with metal loop handles, like this one:

Ahhh, excellent. I’ve got a local restaurant supply place that has just thing. You may have pushed me in that direction. Thanks!

Thanks for the info on the STOK grate – I’ll keep an eye out for it.

I just stumbled across this review and its crazy how much I agree with you on nearly every point. The griddle is definitely my favorite piece besides the wire grate itself.

I do a low of low and slow bbq (overnighters) in my kettle and I love having the flip side AND the hole in the middle to access the goals. One word of warning though. Even though the rods are thicker, they are not as strong as the stock grates. Last summer I was cooking chili in a 5 quart dutch oven and the entire grate bent. I never had that problem on the smaller grate. (Weber replaced it for free, btw).

Regarding the sear grate…home depot has a cast iron grate that covers the entire grate and the whole in the center has enough room to hold a chimney starter. I’ve had it for about a week, but so far I like it alot. It’s made by a company called “STOK” and it only cost 39.95. It’s only available on their website but I was able to see it on one of the STOK grills on display at the store before I bought it and really liked what I saw. It also has a lot of accessories you can switch out in the middle like the Weber stuff but I learned from my experience with this that I’m not a huge “accessories in the grate hole” guy. The CI grate itself is pretty nice though. I’m not affiliated in any way (despite the fact that I sound like it). I’m just a bbq nut and like to pass on information to other bbq nuts. 😉 have a good weekend.

I’d be interested to see how you rate this system:

This would solve the problem of moving the griddle rather than the coals.

Those grates look great. (Get it? Great grates?) I’ve seen them, and am sorely tempted to pick up a set.

They can cover the entire surface, or whatever quarter(s) of the surface you want, so the small size of the weber searing grate that I complain about wouldn’t be an issue.

My only concern is a personal one: they are raw cast iron, and I never have any luck with cast iron. It always winds up rusting. I don’t think I keep up enough with the seasoning. If you are willing to put in the seasoning work, they look like a great option.

Thanks for a great review! I just bought the griddle and I am wondering if there is any change to remove it from the grill while it’s still hot. What kind of gloves you suggest? How about adding oil directly to the griddle? Instructions say it would be lethal…

…but oven mitts work as well. Just be careful where you put it down – it is very hot straight off the grill. (I put it on an unlit burner on my stove to cool down.)

And, why not add oil directly to the griddle? I use it like any other pan; once it’s hot, I add the oil (if the food needs it.)

Weber Gourmet BBQ System

How we tested

Since many grilling gadgets promise more than they deliver, we wondered if we courted disappointment with the new Weber Gourmet BBQ System. Designed to expand on our longtime favorite charcoal grill, its mechanics are simple: Replace the cooking grate on the Weber 22 1/2-inch One-Touch or Performer Grill with a stainless steel grate ($29) featuring a removable inner 12-inch circle and insert any of three cast-iron attachments: a crosshatched sear grate, a griddle, or a wok While the sear grate ($29 or $54.99 with the stainless steel grate grate) created beautiful, professional-looking crosshatch grill marks on large cuts of meat, the widely spaced pattern was far less discernible on smaller cuts and burgers.

Furthermore, inserting the sear grate into the grate once the coals were hot was challenging; a few times it slipped into the fire. We recommend assembling the two components on a flat surface before placing them over hot coals.

The griddle attachment allowed us to get great crust on delicate proteins such as scallops and salmon, and eliminated the sticking and tearing associated with traditional grates. It also kept vegetables nicely contained. But a solid pan bottom limits exposure to smoke flavor—and what’s the point of grilling if you don’t get good grill flavor? Unlike the sear grate, the griddle must also be removed after cooking to prevent a burned-on mess (a maneuver requiring elbow-length potholders and a trivet). If we want to prevent sticking or keep smaller items corralled, we’re better off with our favorite grill pan, whose perforated bottom allows smoke to penetrate. (Plus, it doesn’t require the purchase of a specialized grate.)

Finally, we tried the wok, preparing beef and vegetable stir-fry. Each batch seared beautifully. But when we were ready to add the vegetables, the wok had cooled, so we needed to cover the grill and wait for it to reheat. Overall the wok performed adequately, but it took more than twice as long as stir-frying indoors. Furthermore, it added no grill flavor, and its rough texture made it difficult to wipe with paper towels between batches. Last but not least, cleaning a 10-pound pan that’s hard to fit into a sink is a big chore. (The wok is the only component not available in a set with the modular grate.

We found one final fault with the Gourmet BBQ System: the stainless cooking grate isn’t as seamless as a traditional grate. Its hinges and connecting parts create areas in which any food grilled around the perimeter of an attachment can easily become lodged. These areas also make bumps that snag your spatula.

The bottom line: We might consider buying the sear plate and the griddle for the fun of it, but the wok is definitely not worth the expense.

The Results

Design Trifecta 360 Knife Block

Admittedly expensive, this handsome block certainly seemed to live up to its billing as “the last knife block you ever have to buy.” The heaviest model in our testing, this block was ultrastable, and its durable bamboo exterior was a breeze to clean. Well-placed medium-strength magnets made it easy to attach all our knives, and a rotating base gave us quick access to them. One tiny quibble: The blade of our 12-inch slicing knife stuck out a little.

Schmidt Brothers Downtown Block

This roomy block completely sheathed our entire winning knife set using just one of its two sides—and quite securely, thanks to long, medium-strength magnet bars. Heavy, with a grippy base, this block was very stable. An acrylic guard made this model extra-safe but also made it a little trickier to insert knives and to clean; the wood block itself showed some minor cosmetic scratching during use.

Schmidt Brothers Midtown Block

This smaller version of the Downtown Block secured all our knives nicely, though the blade of the slicing knife stuck out a bit. With a base lined with grippy material, this block was very stable. An acrylic guard afforded extra protection against contact with blades but made it a little harder to insert knives and to clean; the wood itself got a little scratched during use.

Swissmar Bamboo Magnetic Knife Block

This small, scratch-resistant model had a stable, rubber-lined base and could hold all our knives, though the blade of the 12-inch slicing knife stuck out a bit. But inch-long gaps between its small magnets made coverage uneven and forced us to find the magnetic hot spots in order to secure the knives. Its acrylic guard made it safer to use but harder to insert knives and to clean.

Messermeister Walnut Magnet Block

This handsome block was done in by its shape—a tippy, top-heavy quarter-circle that wasn’t tall or broad enough to keep the blades of three knives from poking out. It lacked a nonslip base, and its extra-strong magnets made it unnerving to attach or remove our heavy cleaver. Finally, it got a bit scratched after extensive use.

Epicurean Standing Knife Rack 12"

This magnetic block sheathed all our knives completely, though with a bit of crowding. But it was hard to insert each knife without hitting the block’s decorative slats on way down, and because the block was light and narrow, it wobbled when bumped. Worse, we couldn’t take it apart, so splatters that hit the interior were there to stay. Additionally, the outside stained easily, and when we wiped it down, the unit smelled like wet dog.

Kapoosh Rondelle Knife Block

This model stabilized knives with a mass of stiff, spaghetti-like bristles that shed and nicked easily after extensive use, covering our knives with plastic debris. While all our knives fit securely, several of the blades stuck out, making this unit feel less safe overall. Finally, though the bristles could be removed and cleaned in the dishwasher, their nooks and crannies made this block hard to wash by hand.

Kuhn Rikon Vision Knife Block, Clear

This plastic block required us to aim each knife into the folds of an accordion-pleated insert that was removable for easy cleaning but got nicked easily with repeated use. Because we could only insert the knives vertically, longer knife blades stuck out; a cleaver was too wide to fit. The lightest model in our lineup, this block was dangerously top-heavy when loaded with knives.

127 Weber Grills Consumer Reviews and Complaints

We inherited a Q1000 and used it for many years, grilling almost daily. It was the best! So efficient and durable that we decided we would buy Weber from then on. Time came to invest in a new one of our own, and we found a Q1200 that looked like a new version of the same tabletop style for $199. Well, it lasted about 6 months, until the base MELTED to the grill cavity.

After heating it for 5-10 minutes one day, we noticed it looked lopsided & discovered the cavity had sunk down on one side (due to broken plastic bolts, it appears) and MELTED to the base. We looked it all over -- the ignition still worked, the wires were intact, everything seemed normal except that it was now lopsided and stuck against the melted base! Called customer service, who asked us to send photos, and a week later heard back that their investigator ruled it was damaged by a grease fire. What the what. This grill was sitting on a wooden table, and there were no signs of fire or scorching anywhere. It had only been heating up a few minutes!

From looking at the photos, it was plain as day that the bolts holding the grill cavity to the base had somehow broken, resulting in the cavity falling through on that side, and coming to rest on the plastic base legs, which then melted. No scorching or fire damage anywhere, and it was on the same side as all the wiring, which was fine! However, the customer service person had no access to the photos we sent, and said we had no recourse, since their investigation was final. Outrageous. Never again a Weber.

I have used my GENESIS S-330 GAS GRILL LP since I bought it on May 3rd, 2013. I have used this grill for over 4 years before writing this review. I live in the Phoenix metro area in the middle of the desert. I cook dinner virtually every night in the summer so we do not heat up the house. The rest of the year I probably average three meals a week on one of my grills because the boss (Momma) prefers the taste of grilled foods. I have stood in snow grilling dinner in the dead of winter in Oklahoma. I have catered many, many picnics with smoked foods. Yes, I have a food handling license.

What do I know about Weber grills? Well I have used just about every type they have put out since the early 80s. I currently own three Weber units. The first is the subject of this review, a GENESIS S-330 GAS GRILL LP. The second is a standard 22" charcoal kettle grill. The third a 22" Smoky Mountain Smoker that I use extensively. I have owned multiple other Weber units including LP three burner units over the years. The LP units are what I am going to compare and review now. The charcoal units I will continue to buy as my old ones wear out. The LP have hit my trash them ASAP list!

I do not know the model number of my last three burner LP grill prior to the current GENESIS S-330 GAS GRILL LP. However, its burners were configured from side to side and not like my current grill front to rear. There were absolutely no cold spots with the side to side configuration. With the current forward to rear configuration for the burners, there are a multitude of cold spots! To cook food now, you have to continuously move food around on the grill. Timing different foods for cooking time is impossible. When cooking multiple foods, I find myself estimating times improperly and pulling foods off when they are done and cooking others for a lot longer.

Of course this leads to food becoming cold before the rest is pulled off the grill. There was no reason for me to spend $850 for this grill! I could have done just as well with a Char Broil or other inexpensive grill for $250-$325. My current Weber will not burn off the oils and grease like my old Weber. I have to clean it out 4 times as often as my old grill. How do I know this? Well, my old grill was taken and rebuilt by my son-in-law. He still uses it as often as I use my grills. I still have the two units to compare.

My recommendation? Use the hell out of the Weber charcoal units and forget the gas units. I truly do not believe they are worth the money in any way, shape, or form. If you want to spend that much money, spend a little more and buy a professional unit from a quality grill store. If you look for the best grills on the web, you will find the Weber gas grills are very seldom mentioned. By the way. For reference. I purchased my grill from Lowe's, as stated earlier, 3 May 2013.

Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.

Our gas grill is hooked up to our house - natural gas - and we run it 12 months a year. At times I've had to shovel out a path to the grill, but I won't stop barbecuing just because it's winter. Anyway, running year round, our Weber Genesis is still going strong at 10 years old. Have replaced grates and such every now and then, but nothing major.

Weber Grills are most durable and reliable. Cooking grates easier to clean and overall cooking quality is better than other grills I have owned. I will continue to only purchase Weber brand grills.

Our Weber is over 16 years old. We have rehabbed it 2 times now and still going strong. Glad they make replacement parts easy to find now. We use to buy a new one every few years.

Bought my first Weber in the 1980's it lasted 15 years outdoors uncovered. Then I replaced it with a Broil King which totally fell apart after 3 years, back to the Weber and have had it ever since and is still in good shape. I also use the little Weber camping with great success.

We absolutely love our Weber Gas Grill! We have had this grill for several years and it's still going strong! I plan on surprising my husband for father's day and with a new Weber Grill but I'm afraid he'll want to keep both new and old!

I love how the chicken, steaks, and burgers turn out on our charcoal Weber Grill. The meats, steaks in particular, are much more flavorful and tender than when cooked on a stovetop. As with all charcoal grills, maintaining a consistent temperature can be tricky; cooking also takes longer than with gas. For that reason, one must repeatedly make small cuts into the meat to see if it is cooked to one's preference, or in the case of poultry or pork, to check if it is cooked thoroughly. The holes in the grill's lid allows for a wonderful smoked flavor.

Upon picking up my Weber E310 I was informed that I must pick up the 175lb grill and load it. I previously called and asked if help was available and was told no BUT the guys would position the grill so I could slide it into my truck. Only problem it was sitting on a skid and there is no way to slide the grill UP into my truck. The customer service rep said "Tough" you were told. Thankfully another customer helped slide the grill into the truck. This convinced me not to purchased a second grill as I had planned. The next day I purchased another grill for a relative from Home Depot where they happily loaded the grill into my truck. Also Home Depot said if I wanted to wait a week they would assemble the grill and load in my truck.

I have been using Weber Grills for over 30 years. I've had 3 different models over the course of those years. The only reason I have needed a new one was because of natural disasters. I've always found them to be well made and reliable. The temperature is even across the grate surfaces. No hot or cool spots. They heat up quickly. They are a pleasure to use. The company is a breeze to deal if you have a problem with your model. Whether it's in or out of warranty they are extremely helpful with a repair or send a new part. They are definitely built to last. I wouldn't use any other.

We have had our Weber for 18 years. Still great! We clean it after each use and have replaced a few parts to keep it looking like new. If I ever need to replace it, I would not buy any other brand.

We purchased a Weber Platinum C Series Grille approximately 8-10 years ago. The grille looks and performs as good as the day we bought it. We use it more in the summer of course and keep it outside covered with a Weber Grille Cover all winter long.

The Weber Grill is outstanding. Mine is over 15 years old and still looks good and works like new. It is an expensive grill but worth every penny. The temperature gauge still works fine and the grill surfaces are still like new. Cleaning it easy and using oven cleaner makes the job quick and easy.

Bought my first Weber 22.5" charcoal kettle in 1982, still own it and use it regularly. It is in great shape after 35 years of use. My wife gave me a first generation Weber gas grill in the late '80s. It is still at my office, where I use it to grill lunch for my employees. We have a Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker that is in terrific shape and cooks great. The Weber Genesis III gas grill we purchased about 8 years ago is a PIECE OF GARBAGE.

After only 8 years, the cheap sheet metal in the bottom of the grill cabinet has rusted completely through and is falling on the ground. The stainless steel flavorizer bars have burned through and need replacement. The gas valve leaks like a sieve. After only a few years I will be wheeling the Weber Genesis III, which cost over $850, to the curb for the scavengers or garbage men to take away and will never purchase another Weber product again. Weber quality is no longer to be relied upon. STAY AWAY! We could NOT be more disappointed.

Our Weber gas grill is wonderful heavy duty, holds heat and is true to temp. Grills evenly. I love the color. We got it in a dark red crimson color. It is not overly huge just the right mid range size. I would definitely purchase again. We loved it so much we even purchased my mother and father-in-law one!!

I bought this Weber Grills 13 years ago and it's still working fine today. Incredible performer. It was the most expensive at the time but has certainly proven its value.

The Weber Grills is electric. They are hard to find. Easy to use but not as hot or charred for grilling. There is a temperature gauge helpful. It is hard to clean and disassemble to clean it. This one was expensive for a small tabletop grill.

I purchased the Weber Grill for my son. It is now four years old. We've used almost every weekend. Grilled dogs, burgers, brawts, and my favorite is the salmon done on cedar planks. My son is excellent cook on this grill. I would recommend it to anyone for all occasion.

I bought the Weber Spirit. I was excited to own a Weber Grill. Wow. What a disappointment and waste of money. This grill is a piece of garbage. It started rusting within 6 months. The grill sits in my breezeway. It does not get wet except for when I wipe it down with a damp cloth. I use stainless steel cleaner/polish. All of the stainless steel has rust on it. The bottom of the door and side panels have rust on them. I'm not talking about surface rust, it's rusting. I called Weber and they were very, well "not concerned". They say I should use more stainless steel polish. They apparently don't stand behind any type of warranty. Char-Broil Grills are 100% better than Weber. You don't always get what you pay for. Weber is an example of overpriced garbage.

They claim to have a 5 year warranty on the cooking grates and flavor bars. My grill is only 1 & 1/2 years old and both have rusted through. I tried calling to get replaced but after 3 calls and sending pictures I have yet to be successful. My last call she wanted me to describe my grill brush and then wanted to know if I use a "cheap one". What does it matter, I don't think my grill brush caused the grates to rust!! I hung up because I wasn't getting anywhere with the person and will try again for the 4th time. I've decided next time I buy a grill I will buy a throw away and just replace it every 1-2 years. Weber’s are no longer built to last. Very disappointed:(

I placed a prior review pertaining to the Weber Q120 grill, the replacement parts (burner tube, and grill grate), and customer service/warranty issues I was experiencing at the time. That was a couple months ago. Yesterday, after only a few minutes of speaking to a completely different Weber customer service rep., the parts previously in a questionable warranty state, were on their way to me at ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE.

I couldn't be happier. It seems as though SOME people at Weber Grills may truly care about the consumers who actually do purchase Weber products and from time to time may need help with replacement parts. Once again, they have proven themselves to be a leader among makers of grills and grilling products. They certainly do honor the warranties they advertise. Thanks to a caring company representative I WILL be enjoying my Weber Q120 again this 4th of July. I hope this review helps.

I have extensive experience with Weber Grills dating back about 25 years. My first Weber grill was a Spirit series and it was so long ago that all I can remember about it was that my wife and I loved it. We had absolutely no problems with it and we decided to move on to the Summit series and gave the Spirit to our son who has had it to this day. He still loves it; except for some parts replacements over the years, nothing major, it is still functional and functions well.

We then bought a 6 burner Summit series, what was then pretty much top of the line. We have had it for about 19 years and the only parts we replaced were the flavor bars. It has a rotisserie and a warming rack. It has functioned flawlessly and the taste of the food has been exceptional. We are giving it away to a friend as we have just purchased a Genesis LXII S440 (4 burners since we are an empty nest now and don't need the extra size).

This new grill is one of the most advanced technologically that we could find. The electronic ignition is flawless, it has a 10 year warranty and cooks food to perfection. I should mention that we also bought the iGrill 3 which is a device that allows you to monitor food temperature from an iPhone via a free app, from start to finish and notifies you when the food reaches a perfect temperature (not sure about other smartphone compatibility). What a fantastic invention!

It lists for $99.00 but I think you can get it cheaper, possibly on Amazon but haven't checked. It also has functioned as promised and as described. We tested the food temperature and it was right on the money. I couldn't believe it. This is a highly advanced grill yet you can learn and use all the features in a short time. We have only had it for 2 months but with a 10 year warranty I don't expect any problems. It also seems to use less propane based on the tank gauge.

I will wrap this up by saying that it is no doubt expensive, but if you buy a CharBroil or NexGrill, which are no doubt good grills and very affordable, you may likely need to replace it 3 or 4 times and the Weber will still be going. That is only my opinion, and one's budget is of utmost importance. We are retired and have both been in the workforce for >35 years. We want to splurge a little in retirement. One last caveat: any grill left out in the elements must have a durable cover. We chose the Weber cover (list price $79.95; $67.95 on Amazon where we got it). Protecting the grill or keeping it in a garage or other covered area will extend the life of the grill for a long time.

Bought a brand new Weber Spirit E-210 Gas Grill late last fall. I keep it in the garage so it is not out in a Wisconsin winter. Used it a couple of times last year and then using it heavily this summer. I saw some bad reviews on the knobs stripping and wanted to mention something that happened to me. I have the grill cooking in my driveway. My son goes to back his car out, doesn't look and runs into my grill and knocks it over. I run out to find all the contents (food, grates, flavor bars) on the driveway and the grill laying on it's front with flames coming out the side. We figure out how to stand the grill up without getting burned and I shut it off. Tell my son it could have been worse, could have been my new car.

Once I get everything put back together, turn the knob, hit the lighter and poof goes the flame and everything works. People are talking about the knobs stripping, mine are still perfectly fine. Now my beautiful new grill no longer looks new. Both knobs all scratched up, big hack out of the handle to open the top, the front door won't shut because of a dent in the cross bar under the grill but that baby still cooks great meals. I've loved the grill since the day I bought it. Would highly recommend it.

Just bought a new Weber Grill (Spirit Grill). It cost twice as much as other grills but the salesman convinced me it's worth it. So far, I'm not happy. The middle gas control knob is not properly aligned. Every time I use the grill I have to take the knob off and put it on again. I want to keep it clean so I tried turning it on high to let the debris burn off. It simply does not get hot enough to produce ash. Pulling the drawer out for cleaning is difficult. I could have 2 Charbroil grills for the price of one Weber.

I needed new burners the flame wasn't even. I grill almost every day. They did send new ones, but can't remove bolts, screw. Talked to two reps and they wanted me to disassemble the whole front of grill knobs, starter, face plate, baffle, manifold, etc. Why I asked the instructions that came with the new burners says remove bolts and slide new burners in and install new bolts, I can't. They are corroded and rusted, of Course they're in the inside of the grill. Had to talk to THE manager. She said the owners book says to yearly cleaning to remove those screws and etc. to clean, I didn't and that my problem. I said "Who does that? It's a bad design." She says that's my problem. I cleaned more than yearly, but remove bolts really. Who does that. No one is my vote. Bad design, maybe stainless steel Weber. would be better, extra screw with grill upon purchase something. do this is a really hard fix.

I purchased my 3 burner Weber Spirit 3 years ago. It worked ok when it was new. Temp would max out around 500. But over the past year and a half, it would take longer and longer to reach searing temp. More often than not I would find myself in bypass mode. Yes, I follow Weber's ridiculous standard operating procedures on how to light this thing properly. When I get lucky, the grill would heat up to 425 after a full 20- 30 minutes on pre-heat. Anyone who knows anything about grilling knows that you can't sear meats at 425. That 425 number is deceiving though. That represents the pillow of hot air that is immediately lost as soon as you open the cover to lay your food. Food that is cold and acts as a heat sink for whatever heat is trapped within the iron grates. Close the lid and the temp needle plunges to 325 and then slowly rises again and stalls at 390.

Getting back up to 425 takes another 5 minutes assuming you don't dare open the lid to check on progress or flip your food. I've had several conversations with Weber about this. Replaced propane tanks, replaced the regulator, disassembled the connection line to the manifold, wire brushed the burner tubes and flame transfer rod in the back all to no avail. For the cost of this grill, I could not be more dissatisfied. I thought I was buying hassle-free quality. Can't tell you how many grass fed steaks have been absolutely ruined on this over priced steam table. So unhappy with Weber. My advice is save your money. Buy a cheaper grill that will rot out every 4-5 years and then replace it. I never had a problem with my Charbroil (except for the rotting out problem). But for the price, I could have bought 3 of them and gone 15 years of hassle-free grilling.

I purchased a Weber Q320 grill a few years ago thinking I was buying a quality product, but to my dismay I found that I was wrong. The porcelain cooking grates rust in less than a year. I am looking to replace the second set already and trying to come up with a stainless steel alternative. I purchased the Q320 solely on the Weber name and not wanting to buy a low quality grill that you get in the big box stores. Considering a replacement set of grates cost $80 plus shipping, I would have been much better off buying a cheap one at the big box store and replacing it every 3 or 4 years. Consider this carefully before making your decision on buying one of these!

I was mislead into buying a high priced Weber BBQ under the assumption it would last for years. But don't move and find out your BBQ no longer accepts the new gas. I have a NG BBQ with no NG lines to be seen. After some BS about how complicated a conversion would be I am now stuck with useless planter. Unless you intend to stay where you are for some time don't buy a Weber. Buy one that can be converted.

I purchased a Weber Genesis grill $800 and 2 years later it has started to rust. I contacted Weber and they saw that it is only 2 years old. I asked for a replacement grill and this was denied. I then found out that they are now manufacturing the grill in China. They were manufactured in the USA years ago and no longer take pride in the Weber brand! I sent many photos but they are no longer interested in keeping their customers happy. Buyers beware.

The Weber Q120 may be a small, even portable to a degree, grill but it has been a pleasure to own and use for several years (Almost 7 yrs now). However, the burner tube and grill grate have had to be replaced two times. Which brings me to the warranty issues. The burner tube and grill grate both have a no rust through/no burn through warranty of 5 years (Per the Weber warranty website).

So with Memorial Day right around the corner and the probs with the grill, burner tube being rusted through and the grill grate top being rusted and damaged due to the burner tube prob, I decided to call Weber for some replacement parts. And after spending a few minutes with a customer service rep I was able to order the parts I needed and it was only going to cost me a little over a hundred bucks. So I ordered them and paid for them, and had even agreed to pay a little more for a fast delivery.

But after the call I started looking into the warranty info. Just became curious because this was the second time I've had to replace the same parts since buying the grill, and with the combined costs of the first and second replacement parts I could have almost just paid for a brand new grill. So anyway, I looked into the warranty info and found both the parts had a 5 YEAR no rust through / no burn through warranty. I called Weber customer service and after about an hour of bouncing around to a couple different people and explaining my situation (That I had just ordered the second set of the same replacement parts and paid for them and was now waiting for them to arrive).

The only real prob I had now was after having to order the parts again that I had just happened to check the Weber website warranty info out. Where it CLEARLY stated the parts I had just reordered for the second time in less than 5 years, happened to have a 5 yr warranty and I was not too happy about that news.

After explaining everything the customer service rep, I finally ended up speaking to a customer service "manager". She was extremely polite. She advised me the best way to handle this was to possibly just let her check into it further, and while she did they would refund the amount I had just paid for the second set of replacement parts. That sounded fair so I did and I actually received a phone call the NEXT day which I missed and had to return, but hey no prob so far. That was until I called and asked to speak to the extremely polite lady I had spoken to the day before. It just so happened that she, Dana I believe, was not available.

So I tried explaining the situation to the rep, she was completely sarcastic, even arguing with me about the EXACT warranty info to the point I was very frustrated and unwilling to even discuss it further. I think the straw that did it for me was after already ordering the parts and paying for them, then finding out via website info warranty specs, and having to go around and around and another round with what was finally a rude and dismissive customer service rep that told me she was quote, "Sooo sorry," that she needed me to explain it all over for her again. REALLY. "No mam, it's truly me that is sooo sorry," as she put it for having to deal with someone like her.

Even though the grill has worked great, except for the mentioned items going bad too fast. As much as I have enjoyed cooking with it for the past several years, I REFUSE to support or to have ANY dealings with ANY company rep. who actually believes they can get away with disregarding their own products' warranty then so smugly dismiss my frustration and complaint. Needless to say, I will not be grilling with my Weber Q120 this Memorial Day or possibly ever again. I will definitely not pay for any more parts that were under warranty, looks like I will grill shop this holiday. Hope this was able to help someone.

Avoid the Smell and Smoke - Season a Wok on the BBQ

Introduction: Avoid the Smell and Smoke - Season a Wok on the BBQ

Seasoning a wok is an unavoidably smelly and smokey process that involves intentionally heating an oil or fat past its smoke point to deposit several sturdy layers of carbon based black patina upon the bare steel wok surface. Most directions that tell folks how to season their wok start off with big capital letters that say "OPEN THE WINDOW" and "TURN ON THE FAN".

Step 1: Remove Grill Grates

Remove any grill grates or heat diffusing bars from the BBQ so that there is nothing between you and the gas jets.

Step 2: Set Gas to High

Light the grill and turn the gas on high. Wait a few minutes to let the grill heat up.

Step 3: Place the Wok Directly Over the Flame

Situate the wok so it is directly over the flames. My gas grill only has two rows of jets - if your grill has 3, even better.

Step 4: Coat With Layer of Flax Seed Oil

Once the wok has heated for a few minutes, coat the inide of the wok with a thin layer of flax seed oil. Pure flax seed oil can be purchased at your local health food store. It must be kept refrigerated.

Step 5: Repeat Coats

Repeat the process described in step 4.

Step 6: Finish With Non Hydrogenated Rendered Pig Lard

Conventional Chinese and Thai woks are typically seasoned with pig lard - watch out vegetarians!

Same deal for cast iron skillets? Also, I'm assuming the pork lard is for a wok, or at least optional? Just trying to keep it simple.

I'm having to completely grind down my skillets to get some rust off and was going to start off with some canola oil.

Thanks for your time and post.

Just so happens I've got an Instructable for skillets too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Best-Way-to-Season-Cast-Iron-Pans-Flax-Seed-Oil/

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Nice work noahw - is that a free BBQ that you are seasoning your wok with?
