Thanks everyone for your feedback! We just purchased a Napoleon BBQ P500RSIB, it was a bit over our budget but I think it's well worth it but I guess only time will tell :)



Hey, did you go natural gas or propane?

Well, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but I'm going to assume that once again you've gone ahead and said something retarded. Come closer, old man, it's time for a lesson...

Visit this site: http://www.skilogik.com/ -poke around, then come back. I'll wait.

Done? Good. So as you've read there these are some pretty good skis. They retail for about $800, which is the norm for top-quality skis. Now, let's find out who owns the company. It's actually a guy born in the USA, who married an Italian and then moved to an island off of China to manufacture skis. They pay above-average wages to their Chinese employees (with healthcare + benefits), they plant a tree to make up for the wood they use for each pair of skis, and they use inks and dyes that are not harmful to the environment. When these fine skis arrive, they will say "Made in China" on them. But they are of remarkable quality, and the utmost care has been taken to make sure they've been manufactured in a fair and sustainable way. It's all right here if you don't believe me: http://www.skilogik.com/about-us.php. And this is only one of many examples.

Again - just because something is made in China doesn't mean it's a piece of sh*t.


Those ski's are so 2012.

Anything that you're about to put in a pot of boiling water should instead be put on the grill. This is a cardinal rule.


I can buy that. Not sure about lobster though.

My wife prefers boiled corn on the cob over grilled, so that's one reason to have a side burner. I have also used my side burner to stir fry with my wok, which is nice since I don't heat up the house by using the stove top in the summer. I agree that it's not always useful, but for a $150 dollar upgrade that includes and extra bbq burner (on the Weber CEP-330 over the CEP-310) .. it was a no brainer. It's also a LOT hotter then my biggest gas stove element, and you can deep fry without making the whole house smell like cooking oil.

It appears a Cardinal rule is not absolute!

I also thought one of those single induction elements would be great to use outside instead of a burner. Just place it on the side tray and plug it into the house where you plug in the rotisserie.

We just purchased a Nepoleon, the one we purchase has an Infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ side burner. We also looked at the Weber but the guy at The BBQ store really raved about the New Napoleons. He said he purchased a Weber last year, but if he was to buy this year he would get the Nepoleon. I gues time will tell how good it is

Napoleon's infrared burners give you ultra hot searing power unmatched by traditional tube burners. This allows you to quickly lock in all those amazing tasting natural juices, plus because it's not built into the grill this area doubles as an extra side burner.

Just something to look into while shopping



When you try out the sizzle zone side burner let us know how it works out for you. I'm curious as hell. The race is on between you and Ecuador for first reply on the sizzle zone report!

Excellent choice trayne...excellent !



Why is that excellent?
On the high end Weber's, only the grill box is made in the US. The cart and shelves are made in China.
I'm surprised you are supporting a product that is partially made in China.

Yes Genesis. No Home Depot. The Home Depot one is a "Home Depot version".

Genesis? Home Depot? Was that you that I was blocking in my blind wandering yesterday?

They're a real bitch to put together, huh? Took my buddy and I 3.5 hours to do, but we may or may not have been wasted.


I put together my genesis (CEP-330) in under 2 hours. It was a piece of cake.
