I have 2 Webers, the typical old school round charcoal one and a Genesis gas grill. The charcoal one has never rusted but I've replaced some internals on the Genesis once because of rust. I think they're both like 5 years old!
Good method that works
About 20 years ago, I was working for a steel mill up the Saint Laurence from Montreal. I got good and sick with strep throat. Fever of 102, tough to breathe, the works. My colleagues sent me to an urgent care not far from my hotel, "The Hotel Mortagne".
I only use it for smoking, and it's great for that. I have a Weber Summit and a Blackstone griddle on the deck as well. Nothing like having the right tools for a job.
Actually, it is. We haven't had many issues at all. Covid threw everything into a cocked hat so we just remember that and relax. No problems seeing my doctor etc although we could use more practitioners for sure.
I have done a Pork Shoulder on the Joe Jr. It has plenty of cooking area for 3 people meals. Check out Lowes.ca they often have sales also.
I will... the problem with the lake is that the BBQ sits for anywhere between 8-9 months before being used. So lots of time for rust in our usual BBQs to develop...which does happen. Plus I don't trust most people so I'd have to put it inside the cabin after the season is over.
Mine wintered in the shed with no rust or issues. The top vent is painted cast iron. You might want to chain the Joe Jr as it only weighs about 70lbs. The Classic is about 180 lbs and I think the Big Joe is 240, lol.
Well...those are not ...light at all.
Wow!
BBQ weather in the Netherlands is Thursday once a year
Got it!BBQ weather in the Netherlands is Thursday once a year
I can imagine yes. Well we have more good days than one obviously, but I think I am doing everyone a favour in not using a BBQ.
Did a brisket in my egg just before the surgery...Snake River Farms Wagyu. All gone. May need to fire up another one...
I have A BGE also, but it sits idle at the moment, I had a particularly bad case of SAD, smoker acquisition disorder. I have in addition to the BGE, I have a Pit Barrel Smoker, Two Weber Kettles, A Grilla Silverbac Pellet smoker, and a Hasty Bake Grill, which I won with my membership to Amazing Ribs. I have morphed into using either the Silverbac, the Hasty Bake, or the Webber Kettle.
IMHO, the Weber Kettles can do everything a BGE can and then some. It has a larger capacity and you can smoke on it just fine. At one time some folks on the competition BBQ circuit used Weber Kettles and Weber Smokey Mountains and beat the guys with the offset smokers. If you want to smoke easily, a Weber Smokey Mountian is hard to beat, cheaper than the BGE, and a much larger capacity. The Egg can do something none of the others can, pizza. The egg is basically a wood-fired stove, you can get an Egg, or any ceramic smoker, up to 900-1000 degrees, perfect for pizza making. But don't get it just for pizza, there are many pizza ovens on the market that work just as good as an Egg for much less. You can bake bread in an EGE, or anything you'd bake in an oven can be done in the BGE. But you Weber can smoke just as well as a BGE can, check out the BBQ Brethren forum, but be forwarned, that place is full of enablers just like here.
The Canadian health care is excellent if you are a Canadian Mark. With all due respect. Canadians travelling and vacationing in your beautiful country would never consider crossing the border without a health care policy for the USA. Your hospital charges are indicative of your Canadian hospital experience. On top of that our dollar is usually less than eighty cents US.
Lowes stores in Canada have been bought out by Rona. I think they had trouble competing with Home Depot.
I think the EU also has different arrangements between Canada and USA. At least there are products that have less duties and taxes than a similar product from the US. And sometimes it’s vice versa. Lovely products coming from both sides, so if necessary I tend to take the hit after careful evaluation of course.
Right Guido. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy USA. You really have to want it and be prepared to spend as much on exchange, shipping, and border duty. My beautiful American made Titanium handle is such a case. I have no regrets with the purchase but I paid through the nose to get it. I won’t buy my SV products from Uncle Sam anymore because they are lower priced in England, Portugal, and the Emirates. It is that same three costs that drive the price so high.
