Yes I know as I said in my post that looks dont cook but it dont play a part however small it may be. I did not set out looking for the best looking one and its not a deciding factor but if I like the looks it does help lol...
The memphis grills I have looked at but arent they some of the most expensive out there...
You know I had posted my very first thread on a bbq forum asking this very question. Should I buy cheap and learn some things getting my toes wet or just I just jump right in and get what I will eventually want??? I know some had said just jump in...
Barry's advice is quite sound if you are that new to the hobby. You can get a "basic" Weber charcoaler that is still one heckuva cooker and will do a lot for very little money. I own one -- a Weber Performer -- costs a little over $300. Cooks wonderful chow but is a bit more work for longer cooks. Lasts forever.
Yes, Memphis and the American made pellet cookers are a little more expensive, but the quality and support of the manufacturer is well worth the money. Sneak up on this one and don't get in a hurry. Once you're comfortable with your cooking skills you'll appreciate the flexibility and range of a good pellet machine even more
Good advice to avoid the expensive gasser for now. Don't buy a cheap one (e.g. a few hundred) for they are junk, cook unevenly, and die young.
