I'm looking to pick up my first propane grill this year. Always been a charcoal guy with traditional webers and now a WSM, but the ease of use in firing up & cleaning up after using a propane grill is starting to sway me. It would be a much simpler way to crank out some quick burgers or steaks and would make a good companion for the WSM on which to do quick, no hassle sides.
First off, does anyone have any experience with the durability of the Spirit series? From what I've read they're made and assembled in China.
I'm leaning towards a 220 with the side burner versatility, but I'd love to have the GBS opinion on the 220, which is currently available on the 210 at no extra cost compared to a non-GBS 210. So does anyone know if a GBS option is in the future for the 220?
And finally, I really don't need the extra cooking grate real estate of a Genny, so that's a $300+ difference I'd like to keep in my pocket, but I note that they're still made in the USA. So feel free to suggest a Genny model as well.
Durability, versatility and price are my purchase points in descending order. Whatever I end up will be kept in and cooked on in a screened patio, never getting rained on, though the environment is just a few miles from the ocean.
Thanks!
