Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting a new grill for a while now. My old one was, well, old. It was one of those cheap ones you pick up at the hardware store, and it showed. Uneven heating, hot spots, you name it. I figured it was time to step up my grilling game and go for something a bit more, shall we say, “high-end”.
Now, I’m no grill master, but I do enjoy a good BBQ. And let me tell you, the world of high-end propane grills is a whole different ball game. There are so many options, so many features, it’s kind of overwhelming. But, you know what they say, “you get what you pay for,” right?
The Search Begins
I started where everyone starts these days – the internet. I googled “best high-end propane grills” and, boy, did I get results. We’re talking about grills that cost more than my first car! But, hey, I was determined. I read reviews, watched videos, and compared specs. I even visited a few stores to see these beauties in person.
One thing I noticed is that these high-end grills are built to last. They’re made with thick, high-quality stainless steel. And they’re insulated, too, which I learned is super important for even heating and heat retention. No more hot spots!
Narrowing Down the Choices
After weeks of research, I narrowed it down to a few top contenders. There was this one, Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E790s, that kept popping up as the “best overall.” It looked amazing, but the price tag was, um, a bit steep. Still, I was tempted. I mean, it’s the “best overall,” right?
- Fire Magic Echelon Diamond E790s: This one was the king of the hill. Beautiful design, tons of features, but that price!
- Another Brand: I forgot the name, but it was another solid option. A bit cheaper, but not quite as fancy.
- Yet Another Brand: This one was a dark horse. Not as well-known, but the reviews were surprisingly good.
The Decision
I went back and forth, weighing the pros and cons. Did I really need all those bells and whistles? Could I justify spending that much on a grill? In the end, I decided to go for it. I bought the Fire Magic Echelon Diamond. I figured, if I’m going to do it, I might as well do it right.
The First Cookout
The day it arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I assembled it (which was surprisingly easy), connected the propane, and fired it up. The first thing I noticed was how quickly it heated up. And evenly, too! I threw on some burgers, and they cooked perfectly. No more guessing games, no more flipping and moving them around to avoid hot spots.
Since then, I’ve grilled everything from steaks to veggies to even pizza on this thing. And every time, it’s been a joy to use. It’s like having a professional kitchen in my backyard. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
So, there you have it. My journey into the world of high-end propane grills. If you’re on the fence, I say take the plunge. It’s an investment, but one that will pay off in delicious meals and happy gatherings for years to come. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
