Portable Grill comparisons...

Toss up between the Weber Q- $179 and the Master Forge Stainless steel grill - $79
both at Lowes

I don't mind paying for quality - but they both looked pretty nice - any experience welcome before I spent my pennies
  • Just picked up a Weber 120 last week and used it over Memorial weekend while out at the campground. Good little grill, heat coverage and temperature control worked well.
  • Bought a copy of that mastercraft. took it back less than a month later. Would not stay lit, terrible heat balance. All in all it was junk. Got a Q100 off Ebay for a hundred thirty dollars new. Well see how good it is this summer.
  • We have a Weber Q100 and a Coleman Road Trip. I only use the CRT for a larger group. Love the Weber esp. the cast Iron grill. I have a short hose that allows the use ofe a larger bottle and may use a 1# bottle if want or need arises.
  • I have a Weber and can't imagine getting anything else.
  • love the weber q 210. gets nice and hot to sear the steaks. had a coleman before and it doesnt compare.
  • It's hard to imagine a $79 grill being the same quality as a $179 grill. Whenever I go cheap I'm disappointed.
