Buy Kenyon B96001 Drip Trays for Kenyon Grills, 10-Pack
This pan is almost identical to an 8 x 13 pan one can buy at the grocery store. Both pans are just slightly smaller than what is required to cover the slotted lips on the sides of the bottom of the grill and catch the grease. It seems like the size should be about one inch bigger in both directions.

It had to be assembled which I did not like. After it was assembled, it was very flimsy and cheap. I should have sent it back. The silver grate that goes on the inside was buckled and did not fit correclty. It fits very loosely. Also the grate where the electric plugs into fits loosley. The whole thing is very cheap and I feel that I wasted $75. Should have bought a George Foreman.

Over the years, we have owned several Meco electric grills, and have always enjoyed them. The heating elements don't last forever. They burn out usually after about 2-3 years of use, but considering the cost of propane, they are still much more economical than gas, and also less trouble. Just turn on the switch, and you're grilling. They cook very well, and produce great tasting foods. We highly recommend them.Best Deals for Meco Tabletop Electric BBQ Grill
Grill seems to work fine, very little smoke etc. Being it's electric it takes longer to get hot enough to cook on than a gas grill, but that's OK. My only issue was ASSEMBLY!! Ridiculous! It took forever as a balancing act and almost needed four hands. There are certainly a lot of people I'll bet simply could not do it. I had to get someone stronger than I was to tighten the handle screws. Also the numbers on the assembly picture are very difficult to interpret.Honest reviews on Meco Tabletop Electric BBQ Grill
I really like this grill! I live in an apartment complex, and gas/charcoal grills are not allowed. This is a great alternative! Very easy to use. The grates and the reflector pan can be put in the diswasher for easy cleanup. It's not the best looking grill, but it works great for the price! Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, directions aren't the clearest. You'll need a pliers, flat head screwdriver, and phillips screwdriver to assemble. A ratchet may also be useful for the side handle. It creates quite a bit of smoke while cooking outdoor use only (unlike similar George Forman electric grills). I am one happy customer!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Meco Tabletop Electric BBQ Grill
The grill works just great. I do nice thick steaks on it as well as veggies and fish. Great for lamb chops also. This is my second Meco 9210 grill. Bought my first one last year and used it as a table top grill. Decided to buy another one (the old one was getting too messy to work with) and mounted legs on it so it stands alone. Meco's other models on stands are too wide for my Condo's balcony. The 9210 is the smallest rectangular size they make and with steel legs that I added, it works out just fine for me.
Discount Smokemiester Pellet Smoke Generator Accessory, Makes Your Covered
Last month, I purchased a Weber universal stainless steel smoker box for my Weber Genesis grill (to smoke some salmon with).
The Weber smoke box was a complete failure and waste of money.
The smoker box either did not smoke at all (when kept at proper lower temperature for smoking fish), or (to get the box to work) you had to turn up the grill at a much higher temperature just to get some smoke (which is way too hot for smoking fish).
The Weber smoker box was also a pain to use because one half of the cooking grate has to be off at all times so you can add wood to the box. This cuts your cooking surface in half. As far as I am concerned, the Weber smoker box was a failure on all levels.
** It should be noted that I am STILL a HUGE fan of Weber Grills! (Just not their smoker box)
I was very disappointed in the Weber smoker box, so I started to search the net for some kind of auxiliary smoking unit that I could use in conjunction with my existing Weber grill. (I have a small deck so purchasing an additional full size grill product is not an option for me.) I did not want to get "burned" again like I was with the Weber smoker box.
After looking at numerous smoke generators, I found the SmokeMiester. It appeared to be a very strait forward and easy product for making smoke for my grill. Plus, it is small and does not need any other source of power or air pump.
Before finalizing my purchase, I called the number on the SmokeMiester web site and spoke to Ken (the inventor) who answered all of my detailed questions about this product. Ken was friendly to talk to and was very knowledgeable.
Upon receiving the SmokeMiester, I contacted my friend and co-worker Mike (who has a much better set of tools than myself) to assist with the install. It literally took Mike less than 5 minutes to install the SmokeMiester. It is a very easy install.
Since my Weber grill has a removable tray on the left, we decided to mount the SmokeMiester on the left side. We fired it up right away for a test run, and it made smoke a LOT of smoke!!!
This past Wednesday, I (once again) attempted my hand at smoking some salmon. I used a Brine recipe that I found on Youtube (Salmon Brine by Larry Hall). The SmokeMiester worked PERFECTLY with lots of consistent smoke! It was also extremely easy to add additional smoker pellets and wood chips until I was done smoking (6 hours). The SmokeMiester generated a lot of smoke while adding very little residual heat to the grill. It was very easy to control a consistent temperature on my grill for smoking the salmon (160 degrees).
The Smokemiester worked flawless! The Salmon came out PERFECT!!!! After trying the fish, Mike is purchasing one now!
I plan on trying my hand at cold smoking some cheese very soon!
Bottom line I would HIGHLY recommend the SmokeMiester to anyone looking for an easy to use auxiliary smoke generator for their existing grill!
I was able to custom make the parts i needed in my shop to do the install.
If you own a Weber gas grill I would not recomend this unit unless you are real handy with tools
Install time to custom retrofit about 6 hours and a added $20.00 in Parts will be needed to make it work.
To bad they do not tell you that up frount.

I've had my Smokemiester smoke generator for over a year now and it is still a mean smokin' machine. I had stopped barbecuing for a while before I picked the Smokemiester up and I got it to reinvigorate my grilling, and I can definitely say now that it has completely rejuvenated my menu! I have the smoker hooked up to my Weber Q 120 (the folks at Smokemiester were helpful when I contacted them about how to attach to an unusual unit like the Q) and now I use it at least twice a week, Wednesday nights and a weekend afternoon usually. A handful of pellets lasts the whole cooking time and produces a nice, pleasant smoke. Initially I just made burgers and steaks, but I've been moving towards a healthier diet with chicken and fish recently and they still taste great after a good smoking (who knew healthy could still be good, right?) The unit is easy to clean, too; it is as simple as the standard operation, just light some pellets and then brush it out once they are burned. I highly suggest you pick one up and give it a try! You'll be as happy with it as I am.Best Deals for Smokemiester Pellet Smoke Generator Accessory, Makes Your Covered
We just ordered our smoker, it arrived in quick time, well packed and great directions to install. Tried it out last nite for the first time, and was greatly impressed. Worked as described and delivered wonderdul smoke to our ribs. We used apple pellets. It was extremely easy to use and virtually no clean up. It's small in size but mighty in performance. I love that there is not an extra unit sitting on my deck to look at. It's going to be a great cooking summer.

Discount PRO DELUXE GRILL COVER
While the Char-Griller grill has been a great purchase, the cover sold as a bundle was a disaster. After only two uses, the cover began to tear and not at the seams, the edges of the grill itself ripped through the middle of the cover. Sewed it to stop the rip and within another month had two more enormous gashes in the material in other locations, rendering the cover unusable. As other reviewers have noted about these covers, you'd be much better off with a tarp or a cover made from truly rip-stop material.

After three months of use, the grill cover is fading badly and I found mold all over the good of my pit cover is not keeping the water out well at all. This is all very unacceptable and I'm in the process of deciding what to do. The cover does look very good out the bag and is an excellent fit, so if you're able to keep your pit under a covered patio or something along those lines, it could be great for you, the reason I still gave it two stars.Best Deals for PRO DELUXE GRILL COVER

I have several La Caja China roasters, and have used them for years for pig roasts, whole lamb, briskets, even turkeys, but this is the first time I've used the rotisserie attachment.
Wow.
Simple to set up, simple to load...it does all the work! The self-basting nature of this method, combined with the perfectly even searing creates a super crispy skin and some of the juiciest white meat I've ever had. Impossible to replicate with any other cooking method.
Next up a leg of lamb!

List Price: $999.00
Sale Price: $806.19
Today's Bonus: 19% Off
Upon receipt of our new Masterbuilt Nfusion grill, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was about 70 percent pre-assembled. Only the side shelves/side burner needed to be attached, along with a few internal cabinet attachments. Unfortunately, there were (2) screws stripped in the burner area, and (1) missing cabinet screw. I was able to repair the stripped holes, and I had a matching stainless steel screw to replace the missing one, but I had to take 1 star off for the fault... now on to performance.
I have used the grill twice since receiving it, and it is working exactly as expected. The searing station gives a perfect sear, and cooking time is nearly half of our old, non-infrared gas grill. I did some pork steaks, about 3/4 inch thick, in 8 minutes total cooking time, to an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees F., and they were perfect, tender and juicy. On Christmas day, I grilled some 1-1/4 inch T-bone steaks, searing each side twice for a total 8 minute sear, and finished on the indirect side for an additional 8 minutes under hickory smoke from the smoker box… once again, perfectly cooked to 130-135 degrees internal, good char on the outside, and still a blush of pink in the middle.
I think we will like this grill…

I ordered this and received it quickly. I was very happy with the quality. It is nice to buy a quality product built in the USA. If you are on the fence between spending more on this grill over another cheaper brand, you really do get what you pay for here.
I contacted support because I thought I had a problem, which turned out to be my fault. I found their support to be outstanding and easy to contact. They were happy to help me with my issue and did not try to up sell anything. The grill works as advertized and living in Colorado I have had problems in the past smoking in the winter. Not with this grill. I have smoked with temps in the teens with great success.
I would happily buy this product again.

I have used this rib rack in my gas grill twice now and I am not pleased with the performance it delivered. The rack has discolored and will not clean up as promised.

It is difficult to pickup from the grill as the sections on the end do not lend themselves to be gripped easily.

We were pleased with the way this cooked the ribs in our new smoker. However, the rack was too short for the ribs we purchased, so we had to cut the ribs in half, then many of the ribs were too short for the rack and kept falling thru.

Weber 6471 Original Stainless Steel Fish Basket, Large Review
List Price: $34.99
Sale Price: $29.99
Today's Bonus: 14% Off
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and have used it a few times. I'm very happy with the purchase. My high level summary is this is a great, affordable product that will allow you to execute great, chef quality cooking for your favorite grilled fish recipes.
Let me get my one negative thing out of the way: the clasp that holds the two side of the metal mesh basket together is a little difficult to open when I'm done grilling. I have a Weber Genesis grill that gets anywhere from 400-550 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside, and fumbling with this hot clasp takes a bit of practice when you want to get the fish out and onto a serving platter easily while it's fresh off the grill. But with a little practice I'm getting better at it. Still, use some sturdy pot holders to protect your fingers and don't let the basket slip and touch tour inner arm or anything. Ouch.
Putting that aside, it does a great job with larger fillets and whole fish up to about 2 lbs. I was a little worried when I first opened the box because, unlike other fish baskets, the sides are not really concave when the basket is closed. I was worried the sides would put too much pressure on the fish and squeeze it, especially if I wanted to grill a fillet of something like salmon fillet, swordfish or tuna steak, etc.
Not to worry. The tension gives enough to prevent applying too much pressure. Last night I grilled a 1.4 lb.s rockfish (striped bass) fillet to perfection, still moist and fully cooked inside with nice texture and grill browning on the outside. Less meaty fillets I'd probably still use a grill pan instead, like for example, grilling tilapia for fish tacos. (Can you tell I love to grill fish?)
For whole fish, you can't go too big. IN the past I've enjoyed grilling whole red snapper for example, and I like to go with a fish about 3 lbs. I haven't tried but I don't think that would fit well in this basket. In fairness, not many baskets out there (any?) can handle that size fish. And for longer bodied fish, like rockfish (striped bass), the basket can probably handle a fish close to 2 lbs, not much more. If you;'re inclined to grill smaller fish, like small rainbow trout or something, as individual portions, you can probably get a couple of 1 lb. fish in there, not much more than 1 lb. a piece.
But for what you get, if you know your way around a grill and like to grill fish, this basket will keep you from tearing up your dinner every time you try to turn it over for even cooking or try to remove it from the grill when done. You can cook evenly and create that extra texture that adds so much flavor, while putting fish to plate that's attractive to the eye because you haven't left chunks of it stuck on the grill.

The curved ends of this basket snugly fit the smaller Weber round grill and would fit the larger round grill easily. Of course it would work on any rectangular grill of sufficient size. It is well made and easy to use. So far I have grilled 3 medium sized trout (the most this item will hold) and a large batch of 1/4" thick carne asada in multiple loads. Honestly, I don't know how I would have managed the carne asada without this reliable snap-lock grilling basket. Next I look forward to trouble-free grilling of a large batch of seasoned prawns.One important rule to successful grilled food is frequent turning on the fire--every couple of minutes or so. So very easy now!
Two recommendations:
1. As Weber recommends, always spray the basket and the food with oil--I forgot to the first time and the trout stuck and was a bit of a mess.
2. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of Aramid or other fire-proof gloves. It makes handling this grilling basket easy and painless.

I bbq a lot, but I've always been a bit nervous about cooking fish. So I decided to do something about that and bought the large Weber fish basket last weekend. Used it for the first time last night cooked two whole mackerels last night on my Weber Genesis grill.Perfect result, first time. Really easy to use. General tips/comments:
1. I absolutely slathered the fish in olive oil immediately before putting in the basket. A few bits of skin still stuck, but very few.
2. The basket is most easily manipulated using an oven glove, but if you are moving it around when hot (i.e. turning over, taking off the grill when cooked or unlocking the basket) then you'll need a pretty heat-resistant glove. This is likely to be my next purchase, as my bog-standard oven glove protected my hand for all of half a second.
3. The locking mechanism isn't as difficult as some posts here make out. Just make sure to check how it works before you get it hot.
4. Fits in the dishwasher. Result.
5. Small point, but I did find it useful to have a large wooden chopping board handy for when I took the basket off the grill. You'll need to put the basket onto something, and remember that it is white-hot when it comes off the grill.
6. I've seen some comments about how the basket grips the food too tightly and crushes it. Frankly, if you're cooking fish that can be crushed by this basket, then you're cooking fish that's gone off. Fresh fish is very firm and would not be at all affected by this basket. The basket does hold the fish firmly in place so much so that I'm thinking that I could probably stuff the fish without needing to tie it up to hold in the stuffing.
So all in all, I'd strongly recommend this product.
