Two days after having the biggest snowfall of the season (5-6 inches), we're supposed to hit the mid-70's this afternoon, so I'm doing burgers on the outdoor grill tonight.
Our grill is about 24 years old and is starting to show signs of age, the knob for the left set of burners won't turn (it was sticky last fall.) I'm not sure I've got the skills and tools to replace the control and I don't know if the place we bought it from is even doing repairs any more. It is wearing out in other places and probably should have new burners as well.
Right now spending money on a new grill isn't in the plans, though I did do some shopping around last fall to see what's out there. Our current grill has a separate rotisserie burner at the back, and I like using that for things like chickens and turkeys. I've done gyros meat on it a few times, too. Most of the grills don't have that feature, though Weber has an add-on kit.
If I was buying a new grill, I'd probably look for one that has better facilities for smoking meats, too.
