We are in need of a new BBQ. The current one has lasted us 14 year and we got it lightly used at that time. Needs to be natural gas.
What is a good brand of BBQs? I am leaning towards a Weber or a Napoleon? Any others?
I have heard from a friend that Weber has outstanding customer service. I did see they have 12 year "limited" warranty and Napoleon has 15 year "bumper to bumper" but have not looked into the fine print.
What's the better cooking surface? Longevity vs taste of food? Cast Iron or Stainless Steel? I am leaning towards stainless steel for longevity. The current one has cast iron and I find that it is rusting and flaking off.
Where is a good place to buy one? HD, Lowes, specialty stores? I did see Lowes has some clearance sale going on. Just poking around on my phone. Have not actually gone in store to check them out.
When do the clearance sale tend to start?
Budget? I am thinking around $1500ish.
We are not a frequent BBQing family. Maybe 2-5 times a month in the summer months, and very rare in the winter. But I really do not want to be buying a new BBQ in 5 or even 8 years from now.
..... and GO.
