This is not a heavy duty item. However, it does have a convenient design to fold up relatively flat to stick in a car trunk or back of an SUV which makes it great for tailgatilng at concerts or sporting events. I also like the height of the grill, you don't have to get down on your knees cooking on a hibachi on the ground, or bring some other table for your grill. I repeat, excellant design for tailgating, which is what I bought it for.

Weber 18600 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Tool Set Reviews

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

If you're like me, when I am grilling there is grease, oil and many other grilling sauces flying about that would ruin a wood handled tool during the first use. These stainless steel beauties will stand up to your biggest BBQ parties. They have a nice length to them which will keep your hands and arms clear of the BTUs. The thickness of the steel is guaranteed to last, you can feel the quality of these tools immediately.

I purchased these because they matched the 2002 model of Weber Genesis Gold series, but they really would shine on any model or manufacturer.

Easy cleanup in the dishwasher... and they come with a 10, yes TEN year guarantee!

With the trend towards everything stainless, it seemed a given that Weber would produce the Weber 18600 3-Piece Stainless Steel Tool Set. I happen to like the stainless steel look so I was drawn to these tools. They have a nice weight to them and are very functional. The handles feature a nice "dimpled" design and each sport a hanger that perfectly fits on the the Weber gas grill tool holder found on the side of my grill. The set includes a slotted spatula, tongs and a two tine fork.

I would have appreciated some type of clasp to keep the tongs closed when not in use as they take up alot of space in a typical draw if you store them indoors.

Otherwise I find little to fault in the set. They are a sound investment and are nice eye candy to go along with your grill.

I recommend this set of tools mostly for the size of the tools, durability, and ease of cleaning. They are rather stylish as well, if that matters to you. Along with Weber's 18-inch grill brush (you'll be sorry -and singed -if you get the short brush), you'll have all of the tools you need to grill.

I've owned this set for over a year, and I can tell you these tools are strong and durable. They are large, easily handling larger cuts of meat. They look nice, feel nice, they've been left out in the rain for days with no problem. These tools will last forever.

I ordered this set without looking close enough to see that it wasn't the similar Weber Style "professional" tool set.

As it turned out, I liked this set MUCH more, and never would have known about it, as none of the local stores seem to carry it.

The tools are big and heavy, which may sound daunting, but takes only a few minutes to get used to. Every piece screams "quality", and they all fit perfectly on the hooks of the Weber Genesis Silver series (which isn't very common with other tools I've used).

Reviews of Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #14 (Small)

Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #14
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I do have to say I love this little grill! It is really "cute".

Now, I am not the sort that says, or uses the word "cute". The Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #14 is cute, though.

This grill is made to the same great standards as the bigger #18 and also, the solid Old Smokey Electric Smoker. Also, the results are just as consistent with the #14 as the firmly built and sound designed #18.

I have to confess; I already own an Old Smokey #18 and an Old Smokey Electric Smoker. And I am sold on these products. They really work, they look great and they are extremely well constructed. The manufacture does not skimp by using cheap materials. The materials used in these products are heavy duty and will last! Also, these products are made in the U.S.A. (Houston, Texas, no less).

The Smoker is manly with its rugged construction, straigth lines and no nonsense approach to getting the job done. The Old Smokey Electric Smoker is the best I have ever used with consistent and great results.

The #18 charcoal grill has shape, real appeal and sizzle but still a strong, sturdy product while providing great results everytime.

Now comes the #14. I thought this grill would be perfect for taking on camping trips (even long ones), going to the beach, park or tailgating. This grill gets hot fast and cooks evenly in a short amount of time, or slower, depending on what you want. There are dampers on the top and bottom that are very practical and easy to operate and will control the heat while preventing any flair ups.

Also, to make this grill even more compact and portable, I used wing nuts to attach the legs. Now, if needed I can tear everything down quickly and store the whole unit in a very compact package size.

Believe me, though, this grill delivers BIG flavor! It comfortably cooks four to five burgers at a time, or plenty of chicken for our family of five and is great for lots of siskabobs, or a rack of barbecued ribs. Also, it has so much more appeal than the run-of-the-mill kettle cooker!

My coworker has a Weber and doesn't use it much. I told him, "Joe, you just haven't found the right grill yet. You need a grill you can actually have a relationship with. Something original. Something different. Something that is fun and will make you happy"!

Life can get monotonous, everyday the same, everything the same, so I say, "why have a boring grill"?! Face it, alot of times it will be just you and your grill. Get an Old Smokey and you will have a grill you can have some fun with!

When I opened the box I was surprised at how substantial the Old Smokey #14 really is. How, I wondered, could they sell this thing for under thirty bucks? You can barely buy a shirt for thirty bucks anymore. Assembly was very easy, even for someone with my lack of mechanical skills--I can barely manage to change a light bulb. I washed the parts in the kitchen sink with dish soap, got out a medium flat head screwdriver and a 3/8 socket (just the socket to hand tighten, the wrench won't fit over the long screws) and in about fifteen minutes that was it. You could probably put it together in seven minutes, because you probably are handier with tools than I am. I installed the optional longer legs, which came with their own hardware, so now I have a spare set of hardware for when it eventually rusts. Other reviewers have mentioned the classic design. You really have to see an Old Smokey in person to comprehend how very true that really is. Simple, and incredibly functional. Oh yeah, it grills great too. This smaller version really doesn't have enough room on the grate to go low and slow, but what do you want for under thirty bucks? I filled up the car with regular this morning and paid more than this neat little grill cost. How can you beat it?

Best Deals for Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #14 (Small)

I purchased this small grill because I generally only cook for 2-4 people. (If you often cook for more, get a larger grill). This is the perfect size for 2-4 people and saves charcoal by not being larger than necessary. I was immediately drawn to the fair price and the fact the grill is Made in USA. (Beats buying a cheap China-made grill at Wal Mart). The grill comes with a vent on the bottom and top, that I generally leave open for maximum cooking ventilation. Putting it together is a snap and took 5 minutes. The grill is a snap to clean up just wait for it to cool down and remove the tray the charcoal sits on and dump it. I'd definitely recommend this grill, and I would buy it again.

I can't stop using this grill! It is a lot of fun and the food tastes soooo good! I am not an experienced griller and haven't grilled successfully very often before this grill, but I feel like a pro now. It's not the best for thick meat cause you can't leave the grill unattended, but cooks a mean chop! I haven't quite figured it all out yet but really enjoy experimenting. Pros: cooks food fast, portable, stainless steel, great for searing, great smokey flavor, easy clean up. Cons: have to add wood frequently, hard to keep the heat consistent (have to monitor temp the whole time) and has hot spots, carrying bag does not have pockets for the power cords, it a bit small too (perfect for a family of 5, but no more). you have to flip the food every 60 seconds but you grill with the lid off, so it's not a big deal. The lid is only used to add smoke flavor at the end of the cooking. So..... 5 minutes to warm up, 6-10 minutes on the grill and 1.5 minutes of smoking with the lid on at the end. Enjoy!

First time I heard of Cook-Air was from my step-brother 2 weeks ago at our summer camp. When he took his unit out of the bag, he would not shut up about his grill.... I was very sceptical until he started the unit with a ball a newspaper and a piece of apple wood. (not bigger than a baseball). In less than 5 minutes, this thing was blasting heat like I have never seen before. We cooked 3 porter house steak to perfection in about 7-8 minutes. I have never had a juicy steak like this in my life... Not to mentioned the smoky taste. The next morning, we boiled water for the coffee and oatmeal and then later that day my wife made us an omelette for lunch.... ON A FREAKING portable BBQ with a T-Fal... Couldnt do that with my small prtable Coleman! The great thing is that you can also cook slowly with that... Chiken and fish (in aluminum foil)... We did about 30 burgers in less than 25 mins.... It was smoking a lot but I was flipping burgers every minutes and bam they were ready.... They say not to cook too fatty on the BBQ... Its so hot that the fat drips disapear in smoke... But overall, its like bicyle, the more you use it, the better it gets... Outstanding product!!

Cant wait to tailgate with my Cook-Air at the Packers game! Go Packers!!

I LOVED COOKING ON THE GRILL AND GOT A GREAT FLAVOR FROM USING IT SINCE JULY 2012 THRU THE FALL.

I PUT THE GRILL AWAY FOR WINTER IN MY COVERED CLOSED GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT TO USE IT A FEW DAYS

AGO 2 MAJOR COMPONENTS HAD RUSTED OUT. I WROTE AN EMAIL (UNANSWERED) TO THE MANUFACTURER AND

LEFT A PHONE MESSAGE (ALSO UNANSWERED). I DON'T THINK THE PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND EVEN THOUGH

THE UNIT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BUY THE PARTS JUST TO GET THE GRILL GOING AGAIN.

finally got ahold of the office and they said they were aware of problem and corrected it. they are sending me the new parts free

with me paying the shipping ..........more than fair.

Honest reviews on Cook-Air EP-3615 Wood Fired Portable Grill Complete Kit

I bought this hoping to get the 1000 degree heat as advertised. In order for the grill to get that hot you have to set the blower on 5 the only problem is the grill starts billowing black smoke at that setting, even using the fuel (compressed sawdust) that they provide with the grill. I did follow the directions for "breaking-in" the grill before using it the first time. This smoke leaves a foul taste in any meat you cook at that setting. Haven't tried it again after my first bad experience

This was used as a replacement part for a Front Avenue Grill. It was comparable to the original and identical in size. This is a good buy for the money. Quality/durability remains to be seen, however with any metal part where heat is applied and temperatures/humidity vary it is prone to rust. Would have liked the thickness of the steel to have been a little thicker but overall was a suitable replacement part.

We are heavy grill user. The long brush lasted for atleast 25 cleanings. Good for plastic and the price range.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I purchased this set last June (2012) and used the long brush first. It wasn't long after that I noticed bristles on the grill. Even the scrubber pad fell apart. So for the remainder of the summer, I ended up using only the scraping tool part of the brush before wiping down the grate.

Thinking the bristles were falling out because I scraped the grate when the grill was hot, I tried it again this year when the grill was cool to the same results. I then moved on to the smaller brush, but not before researching this whole bristle situation. I was horrified at what I discovered and made sure to inspect the food and the grate carefully each time I grilled. Sure enough, it only took a few weeks before the small brush began losing its bristles the same as the larger one.

Regardless of the brand, I'm done with grill brushes.

When I purchased my new Weber Genesis grill I wanted to get a nice cover to protect it. Amazon had it listed as backordered so I went to my local HD to buy this Weber grill cover. When I open the box I immediately noticed the nice material quality. Put the cover on my new grill and it was a perfect fit. The velcro straps hold the cover on tight so it will never blow off in a wind storm. Then I noticed two large mesh vents, one above each side table. It didn't make sense to me, but hey I'm sure Weber knows what they are doing. Then a few days later it rained on my new cover. The next day I went out to pull off the cover and both side tables had large water puddles on them. That's when I found out that when water collects on the side tables, it will drain into the cabinet below the grill. Frustrated, I went to Amazon again and read the reviews on the cover. Several people mentioned a rear vent but none mentioned any side vents. So I purchased the cover from Amazon and waited several weeks for it. I was excited to see on the box pictures that it didn't have side vents. As I pulled the cover out my excitement turned to disappointment that it had side vents and no rear vent. This cover is useless with the side vents. I will be returning it. If this is Weber's new design, I will be purchasing a generic grill cover. 5 stars for the cover durability and velcro straps, 0 stars for the side vent design.

Update 11/09/07: By trial and error I was able to find a Weber grill cover with a rear vent at a different HD. This is a much better design than the side vent version. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which version you are getting by only looking at the box. The boxes are identical down to the date code markings.

Do NOT buy this grill cover...

If you own a Genesis series grill, I strongly advise you NOT to buy this grill. Indeed, the quality of the material is great; the size is perfect. However, there are TWO SIDE VENTS that are crafted in the cover, just above the two side shelves.

These "side vents" are mesh screens that will allow any and all rainwater to flow DIRECTLY onto my/your very nice, very expensive Weber grill. I thoroughly researched this cover before I purchased it, and I had read a few reports of the side vents. But I had also read reports of a "rear vent" that worked well.

I'm not sure how one can differentiate between the two different models (and whether or not the respective model has side or rear vents). However, I do know that, if you have a Genesis-series grill, DO NOT ORDER THIS ONE... The two side vents are located ABOVE the side shelves. I will be returning this item as soon as I take the time to fold it back into the box.

If anyone has any ideas where I can purchase the correct cover, please comment.

Best Deals for Weber 7553 Genesis Series Cover

I read the reviews about the vents issue, so I went to Lowe's today and purchased a new cover (same model #7553) which comes WITHOUT vents (item #180176, priced at $49.99). The cover looks exactly the same, but again, comes without vents so that you don't have to worry about rain getting inside. I took the cover out of the box, just to confirm.

Honest reviews on Weber 7553 Genesis Series Cover

Yes I know it's offered bundled with the Weber E/S series grills. Look up Grady's Ace and order the 9985 which does not have the side vents. Weber covers are extremely well made with high quality materials and the 7553 is no exception. If there's a chance it will get wet then so will your stainless side tables. I took this one back and ordered the 9985.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Weber 7553 Genesis Series Cover

Call store beforehand to confirm whether you are receiving 7553 or 9985. Grady's Hardware sent me 7553 instead, which is not what most people are looking for (it has side vents that let water all over your BBQ to sit on the stainless steel side tables for weeks). Weber really messed up the 7553, and I recommend you avoid making the same mistake as myself and call ahead for 9985!

My family uses the butane stove a lot ... and I mean A LOT because my mom makes GREAT hot pot meals. We would have 2 on the table. We have tried electric (hot plates and glass top) but you couldn't control the heat very well. We have tried various other brands (Mr. Max and Stansport) but they would fail and you get inconsistent flame around the circular burner.

This Sterno is very solidly built and the flame is even all around. It costs a little bit more than the other one but it's definitely in the category of "you get what you pay for".
