So, should you buy a wood pellet grill or a gas grill? Wood pellet grills are about imparting flavor and gives you the ability to cook large volumes of food without flare-ups. Gas grills are about speed, searing, and charring meats. 

In this article, we will be comparing the two most well-known brands of each, Weber and Traeger. First let's look at the companies.

Weber has completely evolved in 2017 to exceed the expectations of their most popular Genesis grill. Recent improvements to their design and capabilities have been made. Their burners and flavorizer bars now provide a more even heat, and their ignition system is now designed for one strike activation, even in cold weather. 

Furthermore, Weber improved their grease management system and created an app accessory to monitor your food remotely, so you do not have to be tethered to your grill during a party or a get-together.

For 2017, the Genesis series are the only grills with these improvements. Weber has also increased the Genesis lineup from 4 grills to 8 with a new series called the Weber Genesis II LX.

With all the new innovations we felt it was important to look at Weber's Spirit, the Genesis II, Genesis II LX, and the Summit grills. The options may seem daunting but hopefully this article will help you choose the right grill for you.

First, we will look at Weber as a company and why they should be considered for your grill. 

Weber was the first grill brand to perform without falling apart, even at their entry level grills. Before Weber, you bought a new grill every few years.

The Genesis has been Weber's most popular grill series. The Genesis II has been introduced this year. I like their new features as of now, but we will be demoing these grills every weekend in April and May. We will video the results and update the article accordingly.

Weber has just started to manufacture a hybrid gas and charcoal grill. If you have never cooked with charcoal or wood, it is incredibly flavorful. Gas grills are popular, because they are fast. By combining both, you have great flavor, texture and speed.

However, the Big Green Egg has become incredibly popular and should also be considered. Its ceramic body can cook almost anything.

So which one is better? That really depends on how you cook. We will look at both companies, both products and then compare at the end.

Once again it’s that time of year, grilling season. For the die-hard grillers, this is a year round activity and accordingly, you need a grill that will keep up with your passion.

Grills can vary in price, anywhere from $100 to $15,000. But you don’t need to hit the top end of the price spectrum to get a great grill.

Weber has been the best selling grill for years. You're probably automatically considering one just because there is nothing comparable. We've experimented with different manufacturers like Napoleon and I have looked at 20 grills at various shows to no avail.

Weber is in the process of launching their first charcoal and smoker, the Summit Kettle Grill. It’s essentially getting back to the basics of cooking with an open fire, which can now be done safely in the comfort of your own backyard.

The weather in Boston is getting warmer. If you are in the market for a new grill this summer chances are you are going to do some online research before making a purchase.

Weber is a very popular brand name in grills. They have been around for a long time and make a solid affordable-luxury product. KitchenAid is also a well-known appliance brand.

Weber vs. Char-Broil are two of the most popular bbq grill brands. Consumers are choosing between these two grills in stores nationwide, but which is better?

We will look at both companies, their features and prices and try to determine the better buy.
