Best BBq for a regular use.
Roy_Batty
some answer by the BBQ specialists...
I bought cpl of years ago a nice bbq from Dolcevita brand
http://www.dolcevitabbq.it/ita/euro3.phtml
this is it.
As far as u can see there is no lid and for me its difficult to cook chicken
, turkey and big fishes too.
And its difficult to cook in windy days too.
I'm deciding to buy a new one with a solid lid to use my bbq as an oven.
I'm not very up to date with all the brands in the market but i'm sure that
Broil king, char broil or anything else will be great.
I'll use my BBq approximately 2 times a week sometimes 3 but nothing more
than this.
My budget is around 800 $ maybe little more, i need something built to
remain and with a great flavour cooking.
Thank u very much.

Looks like you are in the market for a gas/propane grill?
This subject is pretty popular, especially in the spring on this NG. There's
a lot of discussions about it that you can search the archives for here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=alt.food.barbecue
Or, more specifically here:

Good luck to you! Have you found the BBQ FAQ? Lots of recipes and tips,
mostly about BBQ, but there's stuff about grilling too.
Would you share a couple of favorite recipes? I'd love to hear what Italians
grill.

but only if there is reliable product and parts support near you.
However, if your primary purpose is to roast I think the 22", or
58.87cm, round Weber, which uses charcoal, is hard to beat. It is
available with a gas lighter, which makes life much easier though it is
fairly expensive, about $399 in the U.S.
I asked Weber if their products are distributed in Italy and received
the following source.

away from home with the whole Weber collection. !!!
I found the one with charcoal and the gas injector very useful, and the
Genesis B .
I use both 5 years ago: a regular weber charcoal and now a gas grill and i
notice that maybe with charcoal the taste is better i i could remember, but
the time u save with a gas grill is hard to beat.
Now this new Weber product with charcoal and a lighter incorporated is very
interesting.
I cook 90% of T bone steak and 5% fish like calamari & swordfish; sometimes
pepperoni and zucchine, but the problem is that coming home from work very
late i have usually a "shower time" to set up the grill and take it at the
right temperature.
do u think for my use the weber genesis gas-grill will be better than weber
charcoal grill with gas lighter??
Thank u very much
TONY.

I am one of the few who have a Silver Genesis B and a charcoal Weber
Performer with the gas lighter side by side. I use the charcoal
Performer 85% of the time, and the Gas Weber 15% of the time.
I think the charcoal round Weber is the best for searing a steak. All
gas grills, including the Weber aren't hot enough to sear a steak with
the lid up, leaving the inside rare.
The gas is the best for fish, somewhat because I am not very good at
grilling fish. The grates stick to the fish a bit less on the Genesis.
Most important, with any gas product, is the availability of parts when
things wear out, which they will. The ignitor on my Performer has to be
replaced. In the U.S. Weber has very good customer service. Make sure
this is available in your area before you buy.
Good Luck. We still remember that great T-bone steak in Florence.

Thanks very much Kent, i appreciate your fast answer.....the steak u eat in
Firenze it is called "Fiorentina", probably the best region were to find
that kind of steak in Italy.
One more question....is the time to setup a performer same for the genesis
gas grill because of gas lighter ?? Or the genesis is much more faster??..i
mean from the beginning (when u push the button) to when u fisically put the
food on the grill....

RE: Weber gas lighting Performer
If you smother the half burned charcoal from the last time you grilled a
steak, and add new charcoal to those baskets the next time you are
grilling, the Performer will gas ignite very quickly. However it won't
ignite as fast as the Genesis, or any other gas grill.
If you use those little baskets in the grill to grill a steak so the
charcoal is immediately underneath the grate, you use less charcoal, it
is much hotter, and it is actually cheaper to grill with charcoal than
with propane.
For me, the Performer ignites fast enough that I don't ever use the
Genesis because I am in a hurry.
Hope this helps.
