How does this grill stack up against the bull outlaw, 30". similar price point, more features (stainless grills) but a lesser known brand?

This was the most popular grill at the recent national grill show. All Swiss... all the way.Thanks,Jeff

Pretty much all the overseas grills are made pretty equal. With that, having felt both grills, I would go with a grill with less features. There is less to break and with the elements, generally the fancy features wear down first.

I just got done cooking on mine, I,absolutely love that grill. And I cook mostly on high, then hot dogs, sausage links, and chicken on low to medium. Trust me you will enjoy it

I was also impressed with the Weber Genesis and would recommend it. I can't compare to your charcoal experience since I was never very good at using a charcoal grill and prefer gas.

Weber or char broil brand are the ones I prefer now. Hope my rambling info helps

I've own the weber performer silver. I am assuming the platinum is the kicked up model. Having an attached working area and a place to rest the lid are essential to grilling comfort and ease. Assuming the platinum has these features-and probably many more and money is no issue then go for the platinum. Any gill made by Weber is a good investment.

The heat output of the newer design from Weber really puts a lot more than the older generations. I have the NG model with the sear burner between the two left burners. This gives a lot of heat concentrated on this area.In other words, the searing power is more than adequate. If you check the models that run on a propane will put out even more heat, if the NG model is not hot enough for youIf you have an older weber genesis , you will be pleased with the new ones performance. Get the one with the sear (4th) burner. I can even make a small batch of fries with the side burner while I am cooking steaks.Good luck!Gh for you The heat output of the newer design from Weber really puts a lot more than the older generations.

The Napoleon is a much better grill than the Weber. My neighbor has the Weber Genesis and even he says he wished he had bought the Napoleon! The built-in infrared unit is remarkable! Also very easy to clean!

I know nothing about the other models, but I'm happy with my little Weber. It is quite well constructed, just like the larger bowl models. My wife and I use it on our open deck.

Extremely easy. Scrape it, wire brush & empty trey. I line the drip trey with foil. It is much easer to use and clean than my humongous Stainless grill that cost $1000. & I no longer use.Want to purchase a nice big stainless grill?? cheap?? Seriously it is a great grill. We love it. It heats up real fast, also.

My 11" deep round w/glass cover was $36. The 12" open shallow round grill was $33. Both purchased 05/13. Had to return a previous grill to the manufacture after several years use. Anolon coating began to blister/peel. A little hassle packaging and shipping with documentation but they did replace with a similar item.

The performance of this grill has been amazing. It gets hot quick! no issues with the regulator. You have to be careful about the accessory inserts. It seems that some places sell a version without them which is cheaper than the one that has them. I think it is worth it since you can cook any meal on your grill!

I never received any sort of official answer, but what I was able to determine is that they are essentially the same grill - just a different year's model. The features are almost identical - just some different styling to the cart, the wheel covers, etc. I bought one and have been using it a couple of weeks now. Great so far - probably cook out with it again tonight.

For the price I really like this grill. It is fairly sturdy and not as cheaply built as the combos at Home Depot. I live in a wet climate and have this grill outside but covered for over 6 months and it hasn't started to rust yet. It is hard to find a middle range in price and quality when buying a combo grill.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he said the stainless is a pain to keep clean. He suggested that if possible, buy one in a color. As far as the grates go, they do a lot of barbequed chicken so it's always a mess. But he does like the grill. Hope this helps. Leeann

I have owned one for years. The one I bought recently was for our son-in-law who has a small bbq business. It is identical to what we have owned and we have been very pleased with this brand.

I don't know how they compare but my husband is very pleased with this grill. It seems to be very sturdy and works great. Good size for food for 2-3 people.
