    Hello,

    I am looking at getting a new gas grill. I have been researching infrared and just can’t decide if that’s a good route to go. Anyone on here own one? My biggest complaint is flare ups when grilling which is one reason I am looking at infra red. I have been a charbroil grill owner for the past 2 grills. Now they are cheaper and work ok but it seems like everything starts rusting out in the inside by year 2 or 3. Any recommendations on brands, infra red, and best place to purchase. Thanks.

    Chad

    Internal parts rusting/corroding is inevitable, no matter the gas grill brand. I get replacement parts here… Grill Parts

    At the cabin, we use the grill my dad used, when we were growing up… in the 80’s !!! Still a favorite to use

    My stainless webber hardly ever flames up, unless you have olive oil on something, pretty much unless you do something stupid. Got it in ’04 and it has a good amount of use, and all parts are still orginal. I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

    Weber X4.

    They are worth the money. And they don’t flare up.

    X5 on the Weber! The only time I get flare-ups on mine is when the underside of the grate and the flavorizor bars are super dirty and I’m cooking something really greasy.

    Again, it’s the Weber.

    If you buy anything else, after 3 years you only be wishing you bought the Weber. That’s when the burners, ignitor, valves, and grates on the El Cheapo GrillMaster 3000 will start going belly up. Of course, it’ll happen one at a time, so you’ll be tempted to “get by” by replacing them. First the burner for $40, then the left valve. . .

    Buy right and buy once.
