That's a big statement on your part, Larry, as the Wolf you have with those outrageous custom Dave Santana grates is certainly a gas grill many would envy and love to have! While I am "sad" for your amazing Wolf, I am glad you are enjoying pellet grill cooking. I guess I am not committed. If...

For which, as you know, they paid for!😠

If money were no object! Wow. Good observations, Larry. I sure would love to try one out😎!

I think it would be true to say that the “kettle fever” of several years ago, has cooled down. For a while you had to scramble to buy any older kettle - and pay a premium if the seller knew the market. I have noted that prices have dropped a good bit and only the very rarest models get any...

So great to see classic Webers getting a beautiful new lease on life. Thank you for sharing the journey!

Yet ANOTHER Vieluxe less than an hour from me! For years I seldom saw one and now they popping up all over. It looks like maybe mice have chewed on the rear infrared burner. https://www.facebook.com/share/1LRRHAu3o3/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Another stunner, Josh! No doubt if you can go the Dave Santana route for stainless parts, you are getting the best.

Nice save, Steve! Your friend should be very happy :smilekettle: .

I think he certainly over-reacted but it does show that we need to be extra careful with newcomers and try to be as accomodating and careful in our choice of words as possible. This isn't the first time someone coming here felt we weren't as considerate as we should strive to be.

OK, while the Ninja FlexFlame can actually do somewhat decent low and slow smoking, my recommendation of it was more that you have an easy way to do high heat (with wood smoke, if you choose) and still also do basic smoking. If your focus is still more on smoking, then maybe the Searwood is...

Same here on spare parts - and faded control panel plus slide tables. Those parts unique to the Flat Top are going to be a really tough challenge, but as Larry noted earlier, the matching Summit parts are often available cheap - or even free - as those grills do come up for sale now and then. As...

Cody, I am so sorry for your loss and pray that your family will find comfort and grace during this time.

Definitely want to hear your follow-up, Larry. I picked up a used smaller Ninja Woodfire a while back. I regret not holding out for the XL, but then again for how I use it, the regular size is adequate. If anything, my results on simple things like grilled burgers or chicken, is that the smoke...

Robby, If your focus was more on low and slow with just moderate expectations for high heat grilling, I would say the Searwood would be a very good choice. But given your expressed reservations - and even though I agree with Larry’s assessment of Tom’s reviews on the Searwood - I wonder if a...

They were the best ones!
