What Do You Tell People...

Typically, if you are the grilling and BBQ man of your group, you become the go-to guy for info when it comes time to buy a new grill. I know I get asked this question at least 15 times during the summer months and a few during the "off" months.

To help your friend out you first need to discover how often he/she is going to use the grill. If it's only going to be once a week or less than there is no need to suggest an expensive unit. You also need to take in to account how many people they "typically" cook for and how many people they might have the "need" to cook for on occasion. You can then suggest something that is neither to big or to small...hopefully just what they need in order to both things!

Doing a little fact finding about what your friends wants vs. what they need will make you look very knowledgeable and allow you to keep your title of "grill & BBQ king" well in to the future. It will also maximize you friends' budget and everyone appreciates that!

So, the questions of the day is this: "What brand of grill or BBQ do you recommend to your friends and neighbors?"

Typically I tell my friends and family to buy the Weber brand, but if they are not in to grilling as much as me, then I go to the lower brands and feel good that they will be able to afford a "good" grill or BBQ and get the results they are looking for!
