Anyone have experience with the mid-range gas grills?

Specifically, I'm looking for opinions on the Weber Summit (Gold)
versus Barbeque Galore's Turbo Select. Any information or opinions
would be greatly appreciated.

IMO, you can't go wrong with a Weber. I've had a Genesis for over 10
years now. I've replaced the grates and the flavour bars a couple of
times, but otherwise it just keeps on going, producing excellent
results.

I don't know why anyone would want a gas grill, but you didn't ask that.

You can't beat Weber for longevity or customer service. There are many
Webers out there that are more than 10 years old (with many uses per
week). If I were looking, I'd go with the Weber

Weber makes good grills. There are equal or better though. Look at brands
like Vermont Castings (not the Home Depot models, see their web page) MHP,
Broil King, Broil Master, Ellipse, and a few others in the $600 to $1200
range.

I chose a Vermont Castings VC-200 because it had all the features I wanted.
My second choice was MHP (Modern Home Products). I thought both of these
had an edge on the Weber.

Life should *not* be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body
thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming, "WHOO HOOOOO, what a ride!"

Agreed. I'm on my second Weber Genesis; the first (a Genesis Jr.)
died after 14 years of service only because it got blown off the deck,
and the grill housing was mangled. The second is a Silver B, with a
bigger cooking surface, and I love it.

I have a Silver B as well. I never even registered it with Weber and
here's what happened after if was off of warrenty.

Friends of my "better half" were having a party at work and needed
grills. I said, "sure, use ours". I wasn't home when they came to get it
with a small Toyota pickup with a cap on it. So they needed to lay it
down to get it into the back. In the process the lid flopped open toward
the ground and the cast iron hinges snapped due to weight.

They called Weber, told them exactly what had happened and asked about
getting a replacement lid for me. Not only didn't Weber charge them/me
for the new lid but they sent a service rep. to the house to install it!

I was amazed.

Stay away from any variation of the BG Turbo grills. I bought one after
having a Weber Genesis for 7 yrs. The Turbo began rusting within 8 months,
and after 1 1/2 yrs, two legs were completely rusted out. Cheaply made, but
premium prices.
