Grills?

I have a Weber Q 100 and have loved it. It seems to be on its' last leg. I was looking at Sam's Club and they have a stainless steel Aussie Grill for $80. It gets great reviews. My question is has anyone compared it to the weber? It says it has 12000 BTU's. I like the price, but not if it is a poor substitute.
  • I have a Brinkman 4 burner that I bought from Lowes back in 2004 and it is still going strong. The front wheels broke off but I use a brick to hold it up lol! I have replaced the burners once so far direct from Brinkman and its about due for a new set.

    For what it's worth, I have the Aussie grille, and love it. Bought it after seeing how well it worked for a friend as well as how well it was holding up after more than a year of his use.
  • I have to agree with everybody else on the Webers as well. I have several (Silver, 22" kettle, Q-100, Q2200, and the Smokey Mountain). I really like Webers, built like Sherman tanks. So it is hard to imagine burners failing. Nonetheless, call weber, they have the parts you'll need. The Baby Q (100) has an 8K burner, not the 12k. I used the Baby Q for years and recently upgraded to the 2200 for the larger burner and split grates. I liked the Baby Q but the split grates was the big difference maker for me.

    I also have a camp Chef stove - love the 30K burners. Adds a huge dimension of stove top cooking since I dislike cooking in the camper (if I could get a camper without a stove and oven I would). As fellas a blackstone flat-top. That's great when cooking for a crowd.
  • I have a Weber Q, butttt, I really like the cheapest one I can find. Use it a couple of months, when it gets dirty throw it out & get another.
  • I don't know how the Q 100 or any of the same type of products can be on the last leg.
    Weber sells parts and they can be cleaned~~let's be serious.
    I have had many grills in my life, love to BBQ, and these little Weber grills are just great.
  • All I can say is I'll never buy another stainless steel grill. Looks great the day you buy it, but keeping it clean is a nightmare.
