Hello together,
i'm a fan of this great forum and so i think, become a member an tell a little about me.
My name is Steffen, im 47 yrs old an live in Germany near the Ramstein Air Base (i think some of you know this) with my wife, my two boys my lovely dog and my 3 Weber Grills
In our region bbq means that: making fire only with wood, an when the wodd has burned down, you grill your meat at a so called 'Schwenker', like that
In October 2013 i used to try grillin with a gas grill (never mind that a steak grilled on a gas grill could taste like a steak grilled on a schwenker), so i bought my first gas grill - a used weber spirit 210 from 2007 or 2008
After grilling my first burgers on this weber, i was surprised. One week after I bought a stone plate to make pizza at the weber - fantastic!!
Since this, i used my schwenker only for 2 or 3 times a year ....
In summer of 2014 i want to gear up - I sold my spirit and looked for a bigger one - a genesis E330 seems to be the next step, but on my visits at the grill dealers i saw the Summit E670 - my new favorit - but the price from 3700€ was too much for my budget - so i went for a compromise - I bought a Napoleon LEX 605 - backburner, big bbq area - sizzle zone - that was my new grill
but only for two weeks - ther has bee a lot of things i wouldn't accept at a 2000€ grill - the drip couldnn't get pulled out of the grill - the lid handle got hot, and many other deficiencies, i didn't have fun with this grill
so i decided to sell the grill - most of my friends thought i'm crazy - and maybe they were right - but i think bbq has to make fun - and this was no fun wih the Napoleon.
I sold it a few weeks ago and my decision was firm - the next grill is a Summit E670 - new or used. For a new one i need to save a bit more money, and a used one i didn't find - but i find a found a Silver C for the transitional period until i would get a s Summit
The Silver looks great and after i light the burners - the fun was back - crazy or not?
In march 2015 a big dealer offered the Summit E670 for a good price, so i bought one. My Silver C became a good new home at my best friend
The Summit is an incredible grill - i consumed mor than 9 gas tanks(2 of 5Kg and 7 of 11 Kg) in the rest of the year - it works and works and works .....
Last november i thought, a OTP was still missing in our family - i had luck - someone sold a Performer Touch'n Go for liittle money and so it was mine - the Performer only get's used a several times.
Also i bought a Go Anywhere Gas Grill, that we use on holidays or on camping
This was a good investment - each holiday in the evening - when the smoke comes out the lid - i think - not bad for such a little one
And my next planning is a smoker - i'm not sure which kind - may be a propane smoker e.g. the Broil King Verical Gas Smoker or a WSM.
I looked at the Broil King, but 700€ semms too much money for that what you get - so i think it will be a WSM
I hope you'll fint not too many typing errors - sorry for my not so good english
greetings from germany
Steffen
