ok, I dont want the gas/charcoal debate. I would light my big grill if I wanted to grill over a wood flame.

Im looking at a couple small, portable gas grills and cant really decide which one I want. My primary credit card offers a weber Go anywhere grill for 7500 points.

OR, I can get a sears or Lowes gift card for $75 for the same points.
Sears has a "tool box grill"

for $45 or Lowes grillware for $43

Now, that being said, they are all about the same size and big enough for my needs. Is the weber worth the extra money? Has anyone used these grills?

 

I camp with a group of about 6 trailers and 3 of them have the Lowes version. Not sure if that helps but they like it just fine. Sets up easy and heats pretty even.

How is the quality of construction? Heavy guage steel? enameled or painted surfaces?

 

We've had many. They're all not quite up to the task in my humble cold opinion. Now we load our Weber Genesis into the 5th wheel and take it with us. It's worth the little effort it takes to load it. Burned flesh just tastes better on the bigger little Weber Genesis. And we can burn a beer can chicken or rotisserie while we camp.

 

This is the one I got from Home Depot, online they are $22 and in store they are $30. Print out the ad, take it in, and play dumb. They will price match the online ad. Money in your pocket is better than money in theirs. I love it, perfect for the drag strip, tailgating, or 1 or 2 burgers.

We have had real good luck out of ours. We have replaced the cooking grid once but other than that it is perfect for 2 people.

Thats nice...
My choices were based off of my credit card rewards ($75 at Lowes or Sears or the Weber) There are other items but I dont really like them.

 

I see... You would have to throw in $25 (and I don't even know if they allow you to do that) on the one we have. I think it might be worth it but then again I'm biased.

I think this one would be fine and I would be happy with it.

Im sure they would allow spending more than just the card amount. I was mostly wanting experiences with the grills to decide if the weber was worth giving up $20 in toys from Lowes or Sears for a better grill.

 

Weber is a quality grill. I don't think you could go wrong buying one of those. When we move into our new house I think a Weber Grill is the one we will probably buy. They’re expensive (at least the ones we've looked at) but worth it in my opinion.
