That's how I roll on my charcoal grill as well. If I'm going to bother starting it, I'm cooking food for a few days. I can highly suggest one of these:

Works great for veg or shrimp - stuff you can skewer but may be too lazy to.

I uncovered my grill last week! First steak of the season tasted great!

I've had the weber Genesis E310 for about 18 months now and it is the best bbq I've ever had. (and I've had a few).
I've used it for everything from roasting lamb to smoking bacon.

Certainly worth the extra dollars.

That's the very Weber I'm thinking of buying, good to know.

However, it's a grill. Grilling and BBQing are two distinctly different things.

BBQ is low and slow

Not in Orstralia it isn't, BBQing usually means anything cooked on a grill, plate or old matress springs outdoors.
You may remember "chuck another shrimp on the barbie" from a few years back, (by the way we don't do "shrimp" here anyhow , we do prawns, but I digress)
Grilling here usually means placed under a flame or electric element in a self contained unit or one that's part of a kitchen stove/range.
Here endeth the cultural lesson. ;-)

If Lowe's assembled the grill double check it. The assemblers at my local Lowe's used to cut corners all the time and not really look at the directions.

Thanks for the heads up, but I work at the Lowes that I bought it from and our installer is a super old guy who has nothing to do but build grills all day and he's super anal about it. He even makes sure the ones that get nicks and dings in them have the panels replaced, so I had a tough time finding this grill in the "scratch and dent" section

Heath · March 24, 2011, 12:36:34 AM

ahh ok. I used to work at this one and the two guys in their early twenty's were just building them as fast as possible to not get in trouble. I see all stores are not the same.

I fully endorse this statement.

My BBQ has no hood, just a piece of steel over 4 gas burners. I hardly ever give it a good clean, just fire it up and give it a quick wipe down. Rust gives meat an extra bite.

....and more often than not involves a bunch of hardwood smoke. For hours.

You can leave it uncovered outside and you still wont have to buy a new one every two years like the cheap ones.

My friend's neighbor thew one out, he grabbed it, called Weber and pretty much a week later had most of the parts replaced under warranty, a little cleaning and now has a brand new grill.
