Thinking a genesis or a BGE
Why, both of course! Seriously, I have a Genesis and a large BGE. Both are awesome. The BGE is fantastic when you have the time for getting it going; the Genesis is great for basic grilling of burgers and other things like that. The BGE really, really excels at low, slow cooking, and also very high heat cooking, while delivering a fantastic flavor to whatever you’re grilling. The Genesis is awesome at everyday grilling tasks, heats up quick and with the cast aluminum body, will last much longer than those POS all stainless grills that you end up tossing every 3-4 years.
How long does it take to get hot?
The Genesis is smokin' hot in about 10 minutes, ready to go.
The BGE takes a bit more time, but I would argue that meat cooked on the BGE is far superior to that on the gas grill. Essentially, you load the BGE with hardwood charcoal, bury a electric starter in the coal, and let that go for about 7 minutes. When I pull the electric starter, I take a cheap ass blow dryer and aim it right at the coals, getting them as hot as possible. I might do this a couple of times, but I think it's fair to say that I can have my BGE at 600-700 degrees in about 25 minutes.
