Review: Weber Genesis Special Edition EP-310 Propane Gas Grill
We recently upgraded this Summer from our Weber Q 200 gas grill when we finally got the Kitchen Contraptions porch upgraded and made a bit larger to accommodate seating and most of all a larger grill. After much deliberation we went with the Weber Genesis Special Edition EP-310 Propane Gas Grill. We loved the look of the grill right away, and we knew we could get the Weber rotisserie attachment for it, along with the Special Edition Genesis having some improvements in the drip tray area and other niceties like a built in gas gauge.
Weber Genesis Special Edition EP-310 Propane Gas Grill Features:
- 637 sq. in. cooking space
- 42K BTUs
- 3 stainless steel burners
- Porcelain lid with stainless steel trim
- 7MM stainless steel rod cooking grates (we chose not to use these and buy additional cast iron grates from Weber - as we prefer that surface and the way it seasons the bars)
- Stainless steel flavorizer bars
- Stainless steel wire warming rack
- Electronic ignition
- Stainless steel working surface
- Tank not included
- Color we chose was Black
One thing as noted above, we didn't use the stainless steel cooking grates, but instead decided to get an additional set of the cast iron grates to cook on. We haven't liked stainless steel cooking grates when we've used them, and this was our decision. We like the way the cast iron grates season, and we just like the look as well.

Meco 9325 Deluxe Electric Grill - Perfect For Condo and Deck Grilling
Looking for something safe for you condo, deck, porch, and any other place you really shouldn't have a charcoal or gas grill? Well we found this Meco Electric grill with 3 element positions including vertical for indirect rotisserie cooking, and think we've found electric grilling heaven. It has thermostatic controls; variable 1670-watt, UL-listed heating element designed for barbecuing, and a 200-square-inch cooking surface;. Best of all it uses a standard 120-volt grounded plug.
When I was a wee lad, my grandfather from Maine used an electric grill every year at Thanksgiving to smoke our turkey. Yep - electric grill and it was from GE. We think the MECO might have the juice to do the same grilling/smoking madness of years past.

Coleman Road Trip Grill - Portable Grill

It's camping season, and if you don't want to lug the charcoal, and you want to be able to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner you should bring a portable grill. We like Coleman products, and we think this 36-inch collapsible propane grill for use at home or on the road will do the trick. With 285 square inches cooking space, this grill features porcelain-coated cast-iron grates for durability and cleaning ease. Additional features include towing handle, wheels, and detachable side tables.

PizzaQue Grill-Top Pizza Stone

I would really like to try grilling pizza. This pizza stone can be used on the grill or in the oven. It has a stainless steel base, so it can go on open flames. But the stone also separates from the base, so you can use the stone in the oven. It also has a built-in thermometer.

BarbeSkew II - Rotisserie BBQ

The BarbeSkew is a rotisserie BBQ that constantly rotates your meat, instead of leaving it static on a grill to burn in place when you forget to flip it. How does it work? You skewer your chosen cuts of meats onto the 7 small skewers then slip them into the groves provided over the hot charcoal fire. The meats then slowly rotate, allowing the meat to receive a 360 degree view of the fire below and to cook evenly. You also get 2 cage skewers enabling you to still cook sausages and burgers that also benefit from the same 360 degree cooking experience.

Fire Wire BBQ Skewers - Wired Grilled Meat for Summer

These wire skewers are 100% stainless steel which means that not only are they durable, they won’t conduct heat as quickly leaving your fingertips intact. One of the things that makes these wire versions better than their straight rod metal counterparts or wooden ones - flexibility. You can easily pick these skewers up and position the food in different strand shapes. Also unlike the wooden ones that burn after one grilling, these skewers can be reused over and over and are dishwasher safe.
