Thinking about getting a Weber Charcoal Kettle Grill? Check out my begginer's guide on charcoal grills: czcams.com/video/pwVl-4JXJcg/video.html
can you please teach us also how to use, maintain and store propane TANKS used for the grill...thanks
When you mentioned Hank Hill, I’m all in.
I was waiting for the Hank Hill reference and you didn’t disappoint
I have had a Perfect Flame grill for 15 years. Almost threw it away a few years ago but decided to restore it and keep it. I dont use it much (about 10 times per year) and I keep it in my storage shed so Im sure that helps a lot. One thing that I recently found that helps a ton with grease fires are lava rocks. When grilling chicken or marinated meat I would get a lot of flare ups because of the grease, but the lava rocks have taken almost 100% care of that. I put a grill grate over the heat tents to set the lava rocks and then put the original grates over the lava rocks. Also have a smoke box that I throw mesquite wood chips into. I got a little carried away with the accessories but it works well.
I’m glad to hear that. Sounds like you took really good care of it. Happy grilling.
I have a 4-burner propane Expert Grill from Walmart that I purchased about 4 years ago for about $185. It does not have any of the fancy bells and whistles like a viewing window or a rotisserie, but I work VERY hard to take good care of it, and it has been a great, solid grill. My point here is that you do not HAVE to spend an arm, a leg, and your first born to have a great cooking experience on a propane or natural gas grill. Good maintenance of, and care for, your grill are equally, if not more, important.
Great advise that can be applied to any tool
I just bought and put together my 4 burner expert grill from Walmart.
I have a basic bakers and chefs gas grill I bought at Sam's about 26 years ago. It stays under a covered deck and has been converted to natural gas so I don't have to worry about a tank anymore. I've replaced the burner a few times and recently bought a stainless steel grate. But it still cooks deliciously.
Big mistake my friend
@@ronaldocrrs What's the mistake?
Very informative! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
My Weber Genesis is going on 23 years. Yes, I replaced the burners and igniter but it's still going. And I just picked up a Weber Genesis Special Edition for free. I'll be restoring that too.
You rock bro. Such an informative video. Love it.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Your narrative in this video is Outstanding. Very Easy to Understand. Thanks for the training. Best Regards, Russ
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words
Just wow! Great info!! You really shed some light on the pros and cons! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this video. It was very very helpful and elucidative.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid and fantastic info
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it
Hi Tom!! Great video!! One other safety thing to mention, is keeping ALL grills away from the house, wooden deck railings, sheds, etc.. My Dad was a legitimate insurance claims adjuster and he would mention claims from people that didn't keep their grill, while it was heated and in use for grilling, that caught structures on fire. It only takes a short amount of time to suddenly, even though totally unintentional, to have a HUGE problem. I know you weren't showing your grill in use while it was against your house, but it's a really good idea to remind people when the opportunity is there. Thanks again for all the tips!!!
Great important safety tip! Thank you for mentioning it.
Infrared radiation pours out the huge back-side opening, and can burn anything it hits. My grill is stored against the back side of my property... a cinderblock wall. When in use, smoke and heat are far, far away from my house. Moreover, I designed and built an entire block and concrete cooking area with a built-in sink... the perfect place to stand up and clean my grill parts. So the concrete and cinderblock can't burn, obviously. But I've trained a slow-growing Boston Ivy to cover all the property-boundary walls, and my gas grill must be pulled away from that so the vine is not killed by the infra red radiation, WHENEVER I USE IT. As an aside... I change my jets and use natural gas, with an "infinite" supply. My "cook's corner" used to host a pool heater, and I have abundant natural gas there. What happened to the swimming pool, you might wonder? I had it professionally "removed."
You are absolutely right. We should all move our grills a few hundred feet from the house. If that is not possible, we should immediately dispose of them by destroying them so that no one else can cause harm with them and throw them away. One can never be too cautious. I don't know why anyone even has any fire producing device within 500 feet of their home. It's just too dangerous. I keep my grill way out in the woods so that it's nowhere near the house. It's so nice to sit out there in solitude while my meat is sizzling away on the grill. When it's done, I take it home and enjoy it because I know that it was cooked safely. The trees have only caught fire three times this year, but it didn't last long due to various things (rapid fire department response, etc.) , but at least no fires occurred at my house. Praise The Lord!
@@OliverLeveritt hahaha i was gonna say.. doesn't grill next to his house but grills in the woods with tons of trees 🤣 hopefully you dont live in Canada.. last summer my whole town was practically shut down because those forest fires in Canada. and I'm 300 miles away 🤣
Thanks for a good lesson. Good knowledge to have with you..
Thanks for watching!
Solid video. I mostly use my gas grill for chicken breasts, carne asada and vegetables. Cooking burgers, sausages and any other grease dripping foods, I use offset heat and take me sweet time. I learned all this from having from amazing grease fires in the early days. I just got a pellet smoker/grill and I am looking to do some grilling of burgers and steak soon. The smoker part of it is easy. This video reminds me: I think I am going to give my gas grill a deep clean tomorrow!
Haha, glad I could help and remind you. Thanks for watching. Happy grilling!
Good Presentation Sir !
Have a Weber Genesis (with the left side-burner) bought in the spring of 2007. I have had to replace the 'flavorizer bars' and the piezoelectric starter once (each). Still works great, looks almost new (a small bit of patina from sitting outdoors year round). My previous grill was a Weber kettle (ca 1982) that is still in good working condition. I use the gas grill only, because it is fast, does a great job cooking and has very usable 'heat zones' (direct. indirect). Cleaning is quick.
I don't use charcoal anymore (once my go-to for decades) because the conveniences of this gas grill far outweigh the PITA charcoal grill. (NOTE: there is a huge difference between REAL charcoal and those Kingsford-style manufactured briquets).
Thanks for sharing. The weber Genesis is a great grill! Happy grilling
This is one of the most honest reviews about gas grills.
Thank you! Glad I could help
Brilliant review 👍🏻👍🏻😎🏴
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
very good information
I cook mainly Weber kettles but I do have a Genesis I bought new in 2003 and I still have it. It’s a tank and if maintained will last decades. I’ve replaced the burners once and switched to stainless flavorizer bars and grates.
Good stuff, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, great tips. We grew up on Charcoal Weber grills. But for the last 10 years we've used nothing but propane about a year ago we purchased this exact same Monument Model (we used the crap out of our last grill) I love it, we grill year-round. It's very easy to clean and season, as oppsed to dumping ashes i hated that mess. We still own a smoker my husband likes to spark it up occasionally. I just dont have the patience for it anymore.
I’m glad you enjoyed this video! I’m still a charcoal guy but I completely understand the convenience of having a gas grill. Happy grilling!
If you get one of those small “flame thrower” to light the charcoal, it will be ready for your cook just as soon as the gasser! Speaking from owning a BGE and a Weber….
@@cmyachtie yup, and they are super fun to use 😎
great video, and i didn't know about a smoke box, i need to get one. i'm with ya on the grill and getting what you pay for, we seem to have been buying ones every 4-5 years, so i decided to invest in a weber, so far so good, there warranty is top notch, and seems to be made really well, and like you stated, keeping it clean is the best medicine. we bought a small plastic tote, and when things cool down, its nice the weber come apart so nice. the pcs fit in this tote, and we invested in stainless grates, and we soak everything with soapy hot water, and its like new again. love that everything, slides out or comes out super easy for cleaning.
Webers are hard to beat and the customer service is excellent. Great cleaning tips. Thanks for sharing and I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel
So I got the four burner version of the monument grill a couple years ago on Father’s Day. So far, I really really like this grill. It cooks extremely well. Your grill looks immaculate. I really wish you would do a video on how you go about cleaning it. I clean line however, it never looks as good as yours. Lol. Also, I have no idea how to clean the glass I had a grease fire and the temperature is so hot in there to the glass seem to be permanently blackened. I noticed that you took it apart. I’m going to try that, I didn’t realize that was an option. Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely gonna check out more of your videos.
I'm glad you like the channel and the 4 burner. I think I touched up on how to remove the glass window in the video I'm linking here below where I did a 6 month update on my 6 burner. If its not helpful, shoot me another comment and I can connect with you on social media and walk you through it.
czcams.com/video/djzH49Y49sE/video.html
amazingly obvious points
You are correct on the grease fires. You just have to keep an eye on it and clean it regularly. As for longevity, depending on the person. I have a Webber and it is going on 12 years strong. It was expensive as I purchased it in 2012 for $1200.
You are absolutely right. Quality gas grills will last a while but cost of entry is high. I love the Webers. $1200 sounds about right. I think I bought mine around that time and then gave it to my parents. It was still in good shape. Also, Weber had replaceable parts but they are also pricey. Thanks for watching.
One can also buy a midrange stainless grill and keep it a long time by replacing the rusted guts. Just because it is stainless it does not mean that it won't rust. Just replaced some internal parts today for the second time. A DIY person can keep the same grill going for a while. I am on my third grill in the last 20 years.... LOL
I have a Broilmaster P3 gas grill I bought in 1997 and have replaced the burner 3 or four times and the grates once. It is extremely well made with some stainless but the actual grilling body is a thick aluminum which is still in good condition. It was expensive but I have definitely gotten my moneys worth.
I also have a Traeger Lil Tex which is almost 17 years old and a Weber which is around 12 years old. Use them all for different things but really like cooking on the Weber the best. Going to be trying some of the Fogo briquettes as soon as I can get back to the Ace Hardware.
Very cool! My dad has an old Weber gas grill from the early 90’s? That’s still running strong. I’m assuming you say my FOGO video. If not, check it out.

Great video. I have a STOK Tower charcoal, I love it, even though it is 14 years old and more work. I have always used charcoal and never owned a propane grill, but I was thinking of getting one just for the convenience. It would just be for my wife and me to use maybe family when they are in town. I just had a new composite deck put in and thought the propane would be better suited, though the grease fire sounds a bit scary.
Thanks for sharing. Don’t worry too much about grease fires. Just keep the grill clean and use common sense. If you see a lot of grease, wipe it down. Otherwise, your good to go. Enjoy the new grill!
Nice job. I have always baught lean hamburger and burn off the extra every time, lol i may use spray oils to help the burn off cycle. Never had a grill fire in 20+ years. Someone donated a 80/20 or less to my wife and I had issue right away. Appreciate the donation as I learned a ton. Appreciate your work. My pellet smoker is north of 1000 bucks but it takes hours really to cook anything. Once again great video!!!!!!
Sounds like you took really good care of your grill. I love pellet smokers when it’s time to smoke something really delicate because it’s almost set it and forget it. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Good video. The only thing I would add, so as not to discourage people, is that in my experience you do not have to keep your grill spotless to avoid grease fires. I use my Weber Summit almost weekly, and I clean it two, maybe three times per year. The important thing is to scrape the interior, and not allow the grease to build up on the bottom of the firebox or in the drip pan, as that is what ignites and is the fuel for the fire. I have found that a little grease build-up is usually not a problem - at least with how I typically cook. Besides the presence of a fair amount of grease, the other necessary element required for grease fires is a very high temperature in your firebox - to ignite the grease. I rarely use the "high" setting on my six-burner Summit, but when I do - to sear meat, for example - I do so with the lid open, as you are trying to sear the surface, not expose the whole piece of meat to 600 degrees and over-cook it. Depending on the grill and your grate situation, turning all the burners to high and closing the lid for a period of time is an invitation to a fire, unless your grill is very clean, and it's hard - at least for me - to always keep it that way.
Great point! Thank you.
I like this video. Grease fires are a real deal. Baking soda is a good idea as well as a fire extinguisher designed for grease. Also, they can come on suddenly... You are cooking, week after week, no problems, you put something like a burger on there one day and boom, fire starts. Keep your grill cleaned out. There are a ton of CZcams videos to watch about cleaning the inside of the grill. Do it. The gunk builds up silently and quickly.
As for a smoke box, you don't need anything expensive. If you are just trying it out, you can use a small foil tray or a foil pouch with some soaked wood chips. Pay attention to what wood chips will give flavors that compliment what you are cooking, too. Again, CZcams is your friend here. I still have a Weber kettle along with a propane weber grill. Like them both. But, yeah, if I am passing anything down, it will be the kettle, not the propane Weber.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for sharing your perspective. Happy Grilling!
Great Video, I have genesis and a kettle. I use the kettle more, I've gotten to point I can operate kettle easier than oven. I want to use gas grill more.
Thanks for watching. Both grills are great. Happy grilling!
Well done😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Here’s what I have done for decades to reduce (and almost eliminate) grease fires in my propane grill. I double line the big grease pan underneath with aluminum foil then after using it for a while grease will build up so I simply remove the dirty greasy aluminum foil and put in a new layer double layer. Takes about 10 mins so it’s easy and quite. By putting in new aluminum foil you remove the grease fire source of fuel!
The other thing I do when I change the aluminum foil I scrap the burner covers which collect burned grease which also ignites during grilling. Lastly, I wipe down the grills with PAM Non-Stick Cooking Grilling Spray (High Heat Formula). I spray it on paper towels then wipe the grates. This wipes most of the grease from the previous grilling.
A little maintenance goes a very long way!
That’s exactly what I do too and it works great (the aluminum foil). Thanks for sharing.
Great vid Tom. You should check out a Napoleon Grill. Napoleon Grills are the better bang for your buck compared to Weber Genesis or Summit. They have a lifetime warranty on all parts. The LED lights actually have purpose and show you which burners are hot by the LED turning red. I have the P665 and it is amazing.
Thanks! Yeah, I’ve had my eye on them for a while. I might have to reach out to them.
A lot of you are interested in the gas grill feature in this video. I did a 6 month updated review on it with all the pros and cons it has to offer. Check out the video here: czcams.com/video/djzH49Y49sE/video.html
Still have my 2000 Weber Genesis Gold grill! |Good quality gas grill from a renown brand can be passed on to your kids but indeed will require more TLC to do so
How long do you preheat the grill? Also I have a two side gas grill where do you put the meat on the grill so you don't burn the meat?
This was so informative. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Always BBQ wood and charcoal my ignition source I like prong to heat up charcoal I never use lighter fluid learn from my dad but now my wife bought me now my wife bought me a gas grill the same one you're using but a four burner monument that you have but a four burner😊 I like it but I keep it clean I've used it 2 times already it also comes with a LED light you can plug in for night barbecuing cool
Congrats on the new gas grill! It’s a great gas grill and should last you a long time with proper care. Happy grilling!
I've had the same stainless propane grill for 20+ years. Just now replacing it with a Napoleon 625SE. Good, sharp angled heat shields reduce grease flare ups greatly. Occasional flare ups are a part of grilling, get used to it. Hotter and colder spots too. That's what makes becoming a grillmaster an art and science. If you don't want to keep an eye on your cook, go to Wendy's. Drink a beer and sit contemplating the details of the cook. When a flareup happens, take a big sip and spit accurately to put it out. If it persists, move food away from it and repeat. A squirt bottle of water is ok for small flareups. If you're having prarie fires, you should have run all burners on high for 10 minutes at the end of your last cook to burn off buildup.
Thanks for the tips. Happy grilling
My uncle's and Mother gifted my grandfather a 6 burner (duel hood) BBQ galore Turbo in like 1998. It was handed down to me and is in perfect condition. I literally am about to dig into a nice rump cooked on the bad boy.
Wheres the invite? Enjoy and cherish that hand down.
@@tomwadek hahaha Down Under isn't exactly a drive down the road for you. I think if you take care of a BBQ, they can last way more than ten years. If you're willing to change out the burners and grates every now and again and don't need the new technology, I strongly believe in buy quality once. These old Turbo BBQs are definitely quality, which doesn't make it easy when I want to move it.
@@je2338 haha, true 😂
I was wondering if you could do a review on the Char-Broil Cruise it's such a different piece of equipment and it's the only one out there.
I would love to but I honestly don’t have the space currently. I think my wife would kill me if I brought home another grills. Maybe in the future. I also want to check out the apex by camp chef.
What u think about infared grills. I got 1 because lowes didn’t have any regular grills left. They will get up to 600 in no time and plates keep grease fires to 0. Plus u get that steak house sear on ur steaks and literally cook a 2 inch steak in 7-8 minutes and juicy. It was a learning curve for me for sure. But I live mine.
I think they are really cool. I would love to try one out. I’m always into new gear and technology.
In 30 years and over 1,000 BBQs I never turned off the fuel tank valve and never returned to an empty tank.....that includes leaving the value open all winter
That’s great, Leaks do happen though. Manufacture’s instructions state to turn it off. Better be safe then sorry. Happy grilling.
The best and necessary accessory for any grille is a pair long tongs, also very useful to stop incinerating meat when flare-ups occur!
I agree completely! I love the Weber grilling tongs. Heavy duty and dependable. I guess I’m kind of a Weber fan boy 😂
BBQ Grilling Tongs Are Important | Which BBQ Grill Tongs Should You Buy?
czcams.com/video/kE6CoDQZTUA/video.html
I found the comments about being prone to grease fires odd and over blown.. I have a BK Regal and it is no more prone than my Weber Kettle (which one I use depends on time available and other factors). In fact, I am perfectly fine walking away from it. I trust it that much. Maybe it depends on good temps control and cleanliness? Also, the more prone to breaking and expensive to maintain bits seem off, except for cheapo grills like Charbroil. My Regal is ten plus years old. The only part I had to replace in year 10, is the flame tamers which bear the brunt of the heat, so no big deal. Based on the grill's current condition, I expect another 5-10 years easily.
I’m talking about a general comparison. Ofcourse, some grills are better than others. Happy grilling
Try grilling lamb chops during the winter.
@@SciaticaDrums Well I have to wait. But I have done them in the summer. No grease fire.
Over the years I've had a gas Kenmore, a Charbroil Infrared, and i just bought a Weber Genesis, none of which had a problem with flair ups.
Only gas grill with a problem had the lava rocks that would get saturated with grease and flair up.
@@900stx7 it sounds like you kept your grills clean and maintained. 👍🤘
I use the Char-broil infrared propane barbecue and have for years. Never any flare-ups.
You must keep your grill clean. Good job sir! Most important thing is to take care of your tools and they will take care of you.
@@tomwadek Agree. After cooking on my grill and removing the food, I always run the burners on high for about 5 minutes and then clean it really well. It's. always ready for the next bbq.
@@docmonty5859 such an important step! Thanks for sharing.
Um - I'm so confused. Chicagoland weather, Zone change, Earlier last frost.... I keep wanting to sow zinnia inside and uh... Basils... I'm lost.
Also my snaps were not happy this year. All germinated but just - idk. They're finally taking off now. I start in Jiffy seed starter and love it.
Always have a spare tank.😊
I learned that yesterday lol
grease fire extinguisher idea for propane - a “flap” to close air intake?
perhaps manually held if there is a safety issue
Good idea. Generally speaking, keep the grill clean and it shouldn’t be a big problem.
One of the reasons gassers have so many permanent vents is safety. You don't adjustable vents to regulate airflow/heat, like in a charcoal grill, and if the fire is accidentally extinguished and the gas builds up and goes bang, people can get seriously hurt. Over many years, I have been able to put out almost all of my grease fires by closing the lid (though one did require a fire extinguisher). Now, I keep the grill a little bit cleaner and no longer grill on high with the lid closed - no more grease fires.
it's easy to put out a grease fire-I put baking soda in the bottom all the time. just pour it on the fire and it will go out quickly-remove food first of course.
Lots of comments about keeping the BBQ away from your house. Good tip because even in THIS video, the BBQ is beside the house. Not good. One more item: chefs use s spritzer bottle with water to control flare ups and it will not ruin the food like baking soda. Baking soda is NOT the way to suppress a BBQ grease fire because you then have to hold the box over the flames whereas a spritzer can be deployed safely from the side and will cool the heat real fast and suppress the fire. Just don't forget that some water will trickle down into to tray and enter the grease pot so keep your grease pot empty or else if it overflows it'll make a real mess.
Surprised you didn't mentioned ceramics briquettes or lava rocks to stop flare ups
I have a new 5 burner Monument. Should I season the grills before using?
You should be good to go but it’s up to you
@@tomwadek thx.
Can i put grease proof paper at the bottom of bbq by the burners to make it easier to get rid of the grease?
I use foil and throw it out. It makes it easier to clean
Can you please tell me if its possible for me to buy a propane gas bbq and use a butane gas cilinder for it ? Of course connecting the right regulator on it ! Thank you and I m waiting for your answer
Sorry, I don’t know. You can contact the company and ask.
Do you recommend burning off the grill before or after the cook?
I like to do it before each cook. Also helps insure good preheating.
Excellent review. You speak very well. I am going to see it a few more times again and again.
Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying the channel!
@@tomwadek Absolutely... Though it was my first visit. I usually don't subscribe easily but I did it here..
@@CaptSureshSharma thank you! I really appreciate it
Be sure to get a gas grill with Mfr support (parts etc) like weber
great point!
How are the led lights powered ?
Battery operated?
Do you need to plug it in ?
Battery powered.
What would you recommend the Nexgrill series or this?
I have little experience with next grill so I would go with monument
Never put a gas BBQ near something that can catch fire or be stained by high heat; if you do this you can just let the BBQ gas grill grease fire burn down on its own after you close the gas valve.
Ok, you caught me. I’m one of the BBQers who neglects cleaning my gas grill. That said, I did just cleaned it a week ago but notice two burner tubes are broken from rust and burnt out. Consolidated the two burners to the middle. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
Sorry to hear, good time to restore it good as new! Happy Grilling
My grill doesn't have cool LED knobs. Will my grilled meat taste worse?
I have my small camping propane grill connected to my big bottle. I probably have about a year's worth of propane to cook with...
Thanks for sharing!
Just got a Napoleon gas grill to replace my Weber. The Quality of the Napoleon is by far superior to the Weber gas grill. I’ll never go back. And has a lifetime warranty on main parts and 15 years on the rest. But still love my Weber charcoal grill though. Won’t ever get rid of that….Just sayin’. 😊
Absolutely. Congrats on the new grill. I really really want a Weber summit kamado! Space is currently limited and it’s pricey lol
Agreed! Pro665 owner and I love it.
is it ok/safe to put aluminium foil in the base of the grill, to "protect it" from fat and grease falling. it might help with "cleaning"; you just wrap up the dirty foil and throw it away. no?
Yes, I don’t all the time
@@TomWadeCine sorry, you meant "i do it all the time" or "i don't do it" :)
Get some grill grates and you will never have a flame up on your food
If you get a nice enough grill, flareups and grease fires are pretty much non-existent. I have a Saber gas bbq, and that thing is crazy good. I can cook a whole package of bacon with no fires or anything.
Right on
If it ain't burnin, it ain't grilling. The best method to clean a gas grill is to create the absolute highest temp (with flame from a little cooking oil). Burn that Joker out. Use a shop vac or blower to remove ashes. Take more care with heat plates, and the grates.
😎
What propane gage on amazon
Link in the description of the video to my Amazon store. Click on bbq accessories.
#1. Buying one!😂😂
Sometimes..😂
This guy doesn't remember which weber model he owned before, however he recommends it. I believe it's quite a difference between Genesis and Summit series. At least in price.
It’s been years. I think it was the summit. First bought it with my dad back in the mid 2000s I believe.
The main fault of the kettle is the fixed grate.They are best for indirect cooking
Sorry, I’m not following. What do you mean fixed grate?
@Tom's Kitchen Well for grilling you require a grate that you can move up and down so you can adjust the height of the grate.There many charcoal grills that have this feature. The one I have, when the coals start to die down,I crank it up so the charcoal is rite under the grate which allows me more Qin time.
On my propane grill although the grate has a fixed height,I can turn down the heat.When I'm finished grilling I always turn the grill off at the tank.
You posted some good tips thanks for sharing.
@@michaelmattichiii1595 ah, I’m following now! Yes, that’s a great point. Your only options are to add more coals or stack them. Thank you
@@tomwadek Tom you are welcome and keep up the great work you are doing 👍
@@michaelmattichiii1595 thank you!
I’ve tried cranking my nob while BBQing but the neighbours called the police.
Light it whem the lid is closed!😮
Yeah, that will be fun lol
Dude must receive a stipend from Weber. If Weber made an affordable kettle grill with a hinged lid, and grates which open, we'd buy it.
I wish
Insightful. No WEBER at our house just due to no hinged lid. You'd think they would have made one by now.
@@realist8967 Slow and sear kettles are the best and much better than webers. They are overpriced.
And make sure your gas grill is not too close to the house.
For a nice cleaning, I use half an onion and stick a fork into it and use as a cleaning tool. It catches and dissovles fat, is heat resistent, and more flavorful…
Never, ever buy any grill with glass in the lid. After a very short while, you won't be able to see through it. Also, I lost a couple steaks on one when the glass eventually broke on top of the steaks.
Sounds like you bought it at Big Lots.😂
Common mistake is not turning off the propane at the tank after cooking. You will return to an empty bottle on the next cook.
Haha, good tip! I’ve done that before. It’s heart breaking lol
I have been doing that for a few decades, get a valve that doesn't leak.
I have never turned off the valve in 20+ years, never had an issue.
@@paulantoniuk3503 good for u
why do you turnf off the valve? do you have a leak?
Another con is 6 burner gas grills eat through the gas.
Yup. That is a huge con lol
The first mistake is getting one in the first place
Dam i skipped the burn off :/
The most common mistake with a propane gas grill is buying it in the first place
🤣
For the money, Napolean gas grills have surpassed Webers. Weber still has the best CS and Napolean CS is mediocre.
thanks for sharing! Napoleans are great grills
Inexpensive propane gas grills won’t perform as expected.
1:45 - No need to EVER do this to a chicken because CostCo sells BIG (and tasty) chickens cooked fresh every hour every day for $5.00. You cannot buy a chicken this size at the grocery store for that price.
Basic common sense folks
The first mistake is buying one.
I don't want propane anywhere near me.
The absolute most common mistake is using one in the first place. Use hardwood lump charcoal in a quality kettle grill and you will never grill any other way.
Since I’m a kettle lover, I have to 😂
most common mistake is buying one.
LOL!
Ooops, I have a gas grill so adios!
Any grill without stainless steel grates are absolutely JUNK!.
That’s not true lol. You can always update the grates.
@@tomwadek well then I guess you like a sprinkling of rust particles and rust flavor on your 🥩 steak.
@@tomasso883 again, addressing your earlier comment, “Any grill without stainless steel grates are absolutely JUNK!” the grill grates which are easily upgradable, do not make the entire grill “JUNK”. If you prefer certain grates, upgrade them. Sounds like you prefer ss grates. Great, it’s a simple upgrade.
@@tomwadek since manufacturers use cheaper components in their products, to me anything made with cheaper components to protect profit margins are garbage.
You got the grill for free for an... honest review? That's like the textbook way of getting a weighted review :D

Thank goodness another utube correction I will become very smart , no offense to creator
👍
Your advice for a grease flair up on a gas grill is just not correct. First your example was of a liquid grease fire on the stovetop which is completely different than surface grease flaring up in the basin of a gas grill. On a gas grill grease can build up on the drip pan over time and with high heat the surface grease can ignite. A splash of water will easily knock down the flames. If you keep getting those flair ups it’s definitely time for a thorough cleaning. Do not use baking soda on the metal components of your gas grill because it’s a corrosive and will damage them. Also with a stove top grease fire don’t throw any powdery material on the flames because they can flair up. Stay calm and place the lid on the pan or a sheet pan works too.
I’m not talking about grease flair ups. I’m talking about a full blown grease fire. Don’t use water. You’ll find a lot of disaster videos on CZcams. czcams.com/video/iQsOY9YW-9I/video.html
