I'm trying to decide what grill to buy.......
I currently have a whole set at home, Performer, WSM 18", S440 LX. I'm happy with the set up I have, however, I go camping with my son 3 times a year. We have historically gone to the mess hall but honestly lately the food has gone from edible to worse. A guy in our Cub pack was bringing his 22" but he isn't going this time and I was debating about stepping up and getting a grill to use, I have probably another 8+ years to keep going with Scout trips if my younger son catches the bug. I also feel it might be useful on some of our lower key vacations.
So which to get?
I have a small SUV, so I don't want to go big, smaller is better. I also considered charcoal, but frankly with the time between activities, I'm considering it might be a bridge too far, plus I cant comfortably fit the Jumbo Joe that I would want.
Is the Q worth the price difference? it looks like a well thought out unit constructed of high quality materials. does it live up to the hype?
is the Go anywhere good or is it just decent?
craigslist doesn't deliver that well when i search. a handful of beatup Qs that are either cheap and need grates (rusted) and an overhaul, or dreamers with nicer stuff but pricey.
I do have a lead on a new old stock Q1200 for $125 that I'm considering, and do think is the answer. Titanium in color, blah, but i have a hard time ponying up $90 more for a retail priced color that I like.
Napoleon has a nice suitcase style grill too that is priced close to retail of the Q.
Charbroil has a nice looking grill in the $100 range, but I feel I'd be kicking myself for not buying the Q at that price, but maybe its good?
