On January 18, 2023, Weber announced several new grills for the 2023 model year, including a new entry in the popular griddle category, a tweaked SmokeFire pellet grill, and a new line of electric grills.
Weber Griddle
Details are still sparse about the new Weber Griddle, but the company says it’s “full-sized” and features “a specially engineered 3-burner system” with an open cart design and two side tables. At first glance, it looks like a griddle with a shallow lid has been retrofitted to a Spirit gas grill
Weber introduced the Weber Traveler for the 2021 model year as a portable LP grill with a low-profile and integrated cart design that fits easily in a car trunk for on-the-go grilling.
Weber introduced a series of new gas grilling products for the 2021 model year which started on October 1, 2020.
Smart Grills
Weber introduced four new Spirit and Genesis II “Smart Grills” for 2021. Each features a digital tech package built into the front face of the right worktable (Spirit) or the left worktable (Genesis II). This tech package provides real-time food temp and readiness countdowns on the grill or on a smartphone app, alerts, and Amazon Alexa integration for voice commands like, “Alexa, when will my food be ready?”
Smart Grills are denoted by an “X” added after the “E” (enamel) or “S” (stainless steel) finish designation in the model name. At the time of announcement, Smart Grills are only available in LP configuration. Availability will most likely be after January 1, 2021. Continue reading New Weber Gas Grills For 2021→
In July 2019, I posted a video review of the Impossible Burger at Burger King. In the video, you can see how the Impossible Burger compares to a regular beef burger on The Whopper.
In the video, I mentioned that someday I’d like to get my hands on some raw Impossible Burger and grill it at home using my Weber gas grill. That day came in July 2020 when I found some at my local supermarket.
You can read about my experience grilling Impossible Burgers here:
You associate bright cherry red color with the freshness of ground beef, right? That’s what we all look for when shopping at the supermarket. Faced with a choice between a package of bright red meat and a package of brownish meat, you go for the red meat every time.
But when you get home and crack open the package only to find brown meat under that bright red layer of exterior meat, what’s up with that? Has the supermarket wrapped fresh meat around old meat? Has the meat spoiled?
Short Answer: Do not fear. The meat is fine.
Long Answer: Continue reading to find out what’s going on.
If you’ve been putting off the purchase of a Spirit II gas grill in red, ivory, or sapphire, you’d better hurry and buy one…if you can even find one at this point.
I have it on good authority that Weber is discontinuing these colorful grills in 2020, leaving black as the only available color.
Recently, I read an article from an authoritative source that had nice things to say about a whole bunch of Weber gas grills. Sadly, I am not allowed to identify the source and I cannot quote directly from the article.
Dumb, right?
But I’m pretty sure that based upon my own personal, extensive knowledge of Weber gas grills plus the information I learned in this article, I can tell you that the following are really awesome Weber gas grills that you should consider buying over competitive grills. Trust me.
In late Summer 2017, I saw Nathan’s Jumbo Foot Long Beef Franks at a local supermarket and wanted to try them. Problem was there was only one package left, it was past its expiration date, and the store didn’t sell buns long enough for these hot dogs, anyway.
Fast forward to June 6, 2019. I’m shopping at Safeway and see these hot dogs again. Nearby, there’s a display of matching Nathan’s Extra Long Hot Dog Buns. Bingo! I’m taking these suckers home! Continue reading Nathan’s Jumbo Foot Long Beef Franks→
