Weber q2200 Vs q3200

Trying to decide between the Weber 2200 and the 3200?

Compact grills are great if you don’t need the cooking capacity of larger BBQs or just don’t have a lot of room to work with (i.e. you live on an upper level apartment with a small patio space).

These two gas grills are two of the most popular compact grills offered by Weber and today we’re going to compare the two of them to help you determine which one is best suited for you.

So, whether you need something that can be tossed into the back of your car or SUV, or you just need something that won’t take up much space on your apartment patio, keep reading.

Weber Porcelain Enameled Flavorizer Bars Vs Stainless Steel

by Breana

Weber gas grills are known for being industry leaders in quality.

Though there are many different grill model lines, designs, differences in technology, and other variations, Weber grills tend to be associated with even heating and reliable construction.

Part of the secret behind the success is the use of Flavorizer bars. These bars are made exclusively for Weber grills.

They are inverted pieces of steel in a V-shape that are placed between the cooking grates and burner tubes. There are multiple Flavorizer bar purposes.

Weber grills tend to last for years on end, but eventually, the Flavorizer bars will need replacing. The company sells replacement models in stainless steel and porcelain-enameled steel construction.

The Pro 22 and Pro 34 are two of the classic offerings in the series. How does each perform, and what are the main differences between them?

Yakima Jetstream Vs Whispbar Review

by Breana

Yakima Jetstream Vs Whispbar

A roof rack system opens up the possibilities of being able to use your car to haul everything from bikes, cargo boxes, to kayaks.

In this review lineup, we’ll compare both products side by side so you can determine which one will work best for you and your lifestyle.

Best Pellet Grill for Searing

Searing is a type of cooking technique that people use when preparing poultry, fish, or meat.

Though inexperienced grillers often mistake searing for being a similar process to normal grilling, the technique actually involves much higher temperatures during the cooking process.

As these high temperatures cook the meat, a caramelized crust will form. Doing this helps to seal moisture inside the meat rather than letting it escape through evaporation.

Theoretically, a seared steak is much juicier and more full of flavor than a normally grilled one.

Because most pellet grills can be used for grilling, smoking, and searing, they’ve become increasingly popular over the last several years.

While the majority of pellet-based designs are meant to handle searing, not all of them can. Even with grills that are capable of the technique, some manage it better than others.

To get a good sear, the pellet grill model has to be able to give off a minimum of 300 F, and 500 F is an even better target.

You’ll also need to consider the temperature controls, materials used for construction, and size of the overall grill and cooking space.

We’ve put together a list of the grills that will give you the juicy, succulent flavor you’re hoping for.

by Breana

Big Green Egg Vs Char Griller Akorn Kamado Kooker

In the grilling world, Char-Griller is a name that’s synonymous with “cheap.”

The company specializes in making the most inexpensive grills on the market by using low-cost materials and finding ways to reduce expenses during production. This can cause a noticeable drop in grill quality.

But Char-Griller’s latest kamado grill offering seems to deliver results while costing just a fraction of a similarly-sized Big Green Egg ceramic grill. How do the two compare?

Weber Genesis II E-310 Vs S-310

by Nick Wilkesmann

Weber Genesis II E-310 Vs S-310

Two grills in the Weber Genesis II lineup are the E-310 and the S-310. Both offer excellent performance, cooking stability, and resistance to flare-ups thanks to the built-in grease catching system.

They also have an Infiniti ignition system that keeps the burners going without needing matches.

Weber grills use porcelain-enameled flavorizer bars to encourage smokier taste while providing the convenience of a gas grill.

Each model is compatible with the iGrill 3 app, allowing you continuous monitoring of your grill’s temperature remotely.

Though the models are similar, there are differences in price due to the few differences in their features. The best one for you depends on whether the added features are worth the price point.

Weber Smokey Mountain 14.5 Vs 18.5 Vs 22.5 Inch

by Breana

Weber Smokey Mountain 14.5 Vs 18.5 Vs 22.5 Inch

Weber is one of the top manufacturers of smokers and grills. Their Smokey Mountain line is a lineup of multi-level, closed smokehouses that allow smoke to spread evenly around cooking foods and grills.

Each smoker is designed with a large opening so the fire can be refueled through wood chips without letting smoke escape.

You can refuel the smoker as many times as necessary, so it’s easy to use for even the most demanding smoking regimens.

WSMs are easier to use than most other smokers on the market, making them a great investment for beginners. They’re bullet-shaped and fueled by charcoal.

To smoke meat and other food, the smoker maintains a steady temperature for several hours. You can lower or raise the temperature by closing and opening the vents.

WSMs come with sturdy legs and solid construction. There are long-lasting materials including porcelain and chrome coating.

An aluminum heat shield shaped like a bowl is attached to each leg. Even despite the shields, it’s highly recommended that you use the grill on a mat if you’re cooking on a wooden deck.
