Is Broil King a good brand? I can't afford a weber so don't recommend it. Pic related is the model I'm looking at.

Does the hose connect securely to the propane tank? Does it light? It should be fine

Looks legit for me.

Let me guess, you watched King of the Hill and fell for the propane meme?

You know how I know you're poor? That shitty propane grill will need the burners and burner covers replaced in 2 years and the grid will have rusted in less time. The entire box will be falling apart in 5 years. And when you grill you won't have the added flavor wood charcoal imparts.

If I had that, I would rip out the guts and fill it with charcoal. you should just get a charcoal grill

sure. i've got a broil king double burner. and it's a tank. i leave it out (under a canopy tho) all summer, and it hasn't rusted out or nothing.

cooking grills are a meme.

you can make good shit with just a dug out hole fire pit with a grate on top.

its all about what you season it with and the type of wood or coal you use.

Cooking with propane is only useless if you have a gas stove.
People who use shit tier electric stoves still need that sweet, sweet fire cooking experience every once in awhile.

Coal is good but gas is just so much more convenient. I can turn on gas and press a button and be cooking as soon as the hot plate gets hot enough, about 5 minutes.

Although on of my friends had a Weber that uses gas to light the charcoal beads. Was pretty nifty.

I think that was the overall joke of the entire series. That a man in Texas would give his life to propane.

I'm still using the Weber my dad used when I was a kid. It's ~30 years old and burners have been replaced once.

Your grill will work fine, just don't expect it to last more than 5 years.

The cheap gas grills are shit and will be destroyed in less than a year if you leave them outside.

I got pic related for $90 the other day, seasoning the grate right now. Also got a konro on backorder but might cancel it if this lodge will suit my needs.

Good thing you have no friends and will never need to cook more than 3 burgers at a time.

The only grill grates that require seasoning are cast iron grill grates.

Weber grill grates are just steel that keeps your shit above the fire.

Yes, I don't have any non cast iron grates.
