Weber 566002 Sale

This grill is well built and you will be pleased with the workmanship and design.
It is bigger than I initially thought, both externally (takes up a fair amount of space in the car) and in terms of the grill size.
Using it, the temperature distribution is excellent, allowing you to use the whole grill, which is a good size.
Compared to other grills (including quality hooded models) I am very impressed. You do need to cook by time, as the meat and veges don’t necessarily look cooked, given that most of us are used to horribly charring things on barbecues.
In the few times I have used it, I cooked some of the best steaks ever, the capsicums and mushrooms were to die for, and we cooked the best pizzas ever (in a pizza pan).
As for performance, I was initially worried about the 12,500 BTU rating (which was 1/3 of my large grill.) However, with the combination of smaller cooking area , cast aluminum body and heavy grill, I’ll tell you that this grill can bury the thermometer needle @ 600deg F in just 15 min after hitting the ( upgraded/more reliable) igniter . I.e. She gets HOT ! Cooking steaks seems to take ½ the time of even my stainless behemoth 42,000BTU BBQ.! Best of all when it’s time to flip them, you still get that satisfying Sizzle that tells you the grill has enough reserve heat to sear the other side. ( Nothing worse than a baked $10 steak IMHO) The design is that good! One last note: The shape of the grill funnels all drippings to the easily removable /disposable waste pan. This makes the possibility of a flash fire (and /or dumping old grease everywhere ) much less likely. You won’t go wrong with Weber.
