>>12850566
looks cheap as fuck idk

You shouldn't grill a steak. Pan fried and finished in the oven is widely regarded as the best steak preparation method.

>>12850572
Good luck finding one for under $150 unless there is a going out of business sale, and that's just for the most basic Weber charcoal grill.

>>12850573
Nah i had grilled at a restaurant, they tase much better

>>12850563
You can get a cheap chinese piece of shit at the dollar stores, but it will rust out in a year.

>>12850573
a good charcoal steak is better, you can also pan fry in a grill to get the smokey charcoal taste.

>>12850566
He’s right though. I own the grill pictured in OP, and the only nice thing about it is the Webber logo. It is made from super thin sheet metal and even the nuts on the bolts aren’t real nuts, like they saved 0.02 cents by cheaping our on a fucking nut.

Fuck Webber. Overpriced garbage. They’ve ranked their brand.

>>12850643
They have a warranty, are designed to last 15-20 years, and are made out of superior steel to prevent rust and corrosion. They are designed for the best air flow and stable temperatures. I don't disagree that they are overpriced, but they are expensive because they are far superior to the competition.

600F to 800F is what you're shooting for for a high cook. 280f If you're slow cooking. Remember those numbers.

>>12850573
no way, a good sear and cooked through slow over indirect heat is always better, but a good cast iron pan fried steak is also very good alternative when you can't grill them

>>12850698

You should ALWAYS grill steak. What is this asshole talking about? It's like listening to a talking anus.

>>12850710
must have watched gordon ramsey cook a steak and now thinks that he is a world class chef

>>12850643
Weber will replace your grill parts as many times as you need them replaced for 10 years

>>12850714

I've just cooked a thousand steaks or so. I don't honestly give a fuck what you think, If you don't know how to cook a steak I don't give a shit.

>>12850714

I could teach you how to pan fry or grill a steak with a bunch of techniques but you sound like a dumb piece of shit that doesn't deserve any knowledge. Am I right?

Coat the steak with coarse salt (about a 1/2 teaspoon per pound) and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours to 2 days. Get an instant-read digital thermometer.

>>12850714

where'd you go, fuckface?

>>12850727
>>12850736
triggered fag, I cook both. I prefer grilling steaks in the summer, pan in the winter.

>>12850747

Good for you, shithead. 125F then seared on both sides to 135f. But you're some stupid cunt that doesn't pay attention. Go somewhere and die.

>>12850756
put down the bottle, lush.

>>12850747

What fucking kid says triggered? Are you a child???

>>12850563
Use lump charcoal, get it glowing hot, toss some and wood chips soaked in water overnight in there. Keep a hot side and a cold warm side of the grill so you dont burn your steak.
t. line cook at a place with a wood burning grill.

>>12850579
Nah it's almost September. They're gonna start selling display models at 40% off and practically selling them at cost in another few weeks.

>>12850774
why would you soak them in water? Sounds like you'll just create steam until it's dried then actual smoke.

>>12850784
they smoke more and last longer and don't catch on fire.

>>12850563
Grill your steaks medium rare. make sure you buy a thermometer to check the internal temp. You can look up the correct temperatures for how you want your steak done. Never cook a steak well done. Grab a good cut too make sure its choice or prime (Prime is way more expensive but tasty)
my favorite is bone in rib eye

random image from google to give you an idea.

>>12850783
Where do you live? They just ship them back to Weber and they send out next years model. I've never seen one more than 15% off unless it's a going out of business sale.

>>12850791
It's not smoke it's steam.

>>12850848
you must be some city subhuman that has never made a campfire.

>>12850810
No, all major retailers sell weber display models at huge discounts in the fall here in the south. Weber ain't taking that shit back, the fuck would they do with it?

>Grilling.
Enjoy your carcinogens.

>>12850848
it's both, makes the chips last longer and not catch on fire in smaller grills. steam isn't bad in that small of quantities. There will never be a consensus on cooking though, too each their own.

>>12850867
repackage them and ship them back in a new box, the 15% doscount price is the cost of shipping them back.

>>12850667
Yep, and the shape/size lets you convert it into a very decent smoker.

They're great.

>>12850573
lmao you can throw an unseasoned steak directly onto a bed of coals, no grill, and get a better result than any pan/oven combo

>>12850579
>>12850566
this and its bullshit because it costs them like $10 build it but charge $150 for a tin bucket with barbie car wheels. Its pissing me off right now because im about to get rekt by a hurricane and im going to need to grill since the power always goes down. But i'll make a fire pit out of two cinder blocks and the oven rack before i spend $150 on one of those pos's

>>12850983
Haha that's funny Webber's only cost $10 to make and you will spend $30 on a grate and cinderblocks that you will use once

>>12850983
more than that, plus they have good temperature gauges. it's made out of cast aluminum that will never rust or corrode and they will replace any faulty parts over 25 years. When most grills will last 3-5 years max, have no warranty, the only benefit in the other grills are that they are half price.

>>12851014
>you will spend $30 on a grate and cinderblocks that you will use once
>once
what kind of retard only grills once other than the person that made this comment projecting?

>30 euros
>cast iron and inox
>virtually eternal

>>12851145
Probably a guy that thinks Weber grills cost $10 to make so he spends $30 on a grate and cinderblocks and he ruins his $.50 Walmart hotdogs by cooking them over plastic bags and McChicken wrappers

>>12850563
Best steaks i ever had was when we had no coal bricketes (grill coal) so i burned birchwood in the fireplace until i had a nice bed of red glowing birchwood.

Put the steaks on it and damn it was good, downside it takes some time but the end result was glorious :D

There's something in birchwood or the birchwood smoke that flavors the meat just right.

I dunno why people are shit talking the build quality of the grill itself
I have one right here that I appropriated from a very bad neighbor that kept leaving it infront of my door
the steels pretty thick, i'd say thick enough to at least deflect a 22 or something small

my only complaints would be that it uses hollow plastic wheels, and that the crushed tubing where the non-rotating axle fits is pretty shoddy without a collar,
i'd rather it just didn't have wheels since both problems come from the wheels
oh and that its charcoal instead of clean burning propane
but hey it was free2me

>>12850869
>boiling
enjoy your gang rapes

>>12851288
God, shut the fuck up. Please
