AH! The missing link lol
Yep. All cattle references. In other news, good chat with like minded family. Next step is attorney. Getting ducks in a row to hopefully get that stuff cleared up. Honestly, not talking serious $. (And none to me directly) Probably have more $ into JRex. Just trying to not let something good go to waste.

It's either that or clean out those gutters, geesh. Guess I haven't looked out this window this Spring!!
I completely recommend the iRobot Looj - their gutter cleaning robot. I adore mine. I use it at the cottage, but honestly got it for our house, which requires a 40’ ladder to clean the eaves. I hate the job, but at least with the robot, I don’t need to move the ladder. I just stay in one place, and run the robot from there.

I've been Q-ing for 30 years and this is my take on Pellets vs Gas vs Charcoal and the difference between a good grill and the cheap ones '

I'll try to make this short and sweet : what type of grilling will you do the most ?
1) direct grilling like steaks / chicken / pork ? - gas or charcoal works best
2) indirect grilling with food off to the side ? - gas , charcoal or pellets will all work ( gas is cheapest and less messy )
3) Smoking your food ? - slow and low 250-350 degrees for long periods of time - I vote pellets or wood ! ( hickory / pecan / oak -etc)

" Using wood will work with any of the methods above but the storage will take up more space than others "

- Pellet grills are mostly used for slow and low heat - Pork butt / brisket / whole birds / ribs
- pellets are more expensive but have less ash than any of the others

Grills are the biggest factor in which ever way to want to BBQ !!!!
everything has to do with how much you use it and how well you take care of it !!

Depot / Lowes grills are what I call disposable ( 2-3 years tops ) and you will probably order parts within the first year like grates , flavor bars -etc.

when selecting your grill you want to look at three things
1- the grate material - this will be the first thing to go if its thin metal or porcelain coated metal so I always look for stainless steel or heavy duty cast
2 - the flavor bars are also one of the first things to like above
3 - the box or body and hood should be vented with adjustable vents and not just perforated metal to ware you can't adjust the heat and they should have a clean out so your not scooping out ash which is a pain !

I could go on and on about BBQing but the bottom line with me is : Pellets are nice if you want to throw something on and walk away but if you want to sear a nice rib eye with those perfect grill marks then pellets wont give you that because they can't get hot enough .

I've made my own smokers and grills , Ive had depot / lowes grills and I've had big boy grills that have lasted me years !

best basic charcoal grill by far is the Weber because you can do all three with it - smoke - direct and indirect
best gas grills out there are getting harder to find within reason of being budget friendly but I would prob go with Napoleon or Char grill

All depends on how much you will grill each year or year round like I do and what you will mostly be cooking

so much for short and sweet
Great response! Thanks!

Given that hubby won’t be getting rid of the Weber, it sounds like the pellet (I’m looking at a Traeger) would be a good choice. That way, he can do rib eyes on the charcoal, but a briscuit on the pellet. I can do whatever on the pellet, because I just want to put it on and forget it.

At home, we have a large Crown Verity propane grill. It’s great, but I don’t want to spend that kind of money again...
