I purchased a gas Nexgrill from Costco as a replacement for an aging and rusting old Sunbeam gas grill. You don’t get much selection at Costco but generally get great value for the money.

At any rate the new grill came with a separate rotisserie burner and searing burner. The rotisserie burner makes sense but what is the searing burner used for. Do I “sear” something to start with and then move the meat to the main grill? How long? Why? What’s the difference between searing something and simply grilling it?

Know any good web sites for more information?

Thank you in advance.

I’m having an argument with my wife, and we decided that YA would settle it by majority.

How often do you clean your gas grill? I mean take the grates to a sink and scrub them with brillo. My wife wants to do this after each use. I just want to scrub it with a wire brush and burn it after each use for about 10 minutes. Anyway……What do you do?

Grilling is a very widely known way to cook during social occurrences and gatherings, whether for a substantial group of people or a small but close group of friends.

There are ways to ensure that you get the best of your grilling sessions without having to worry about too much to clean up afterwards. The finest steak should create a sizzle that will last long after it’s been scarfed down into your stomach.

The first step is to pick the most qualified steak for grilling. Not all meats are grilled the same way nor do they come out the say way. For grilling, it’s appropriate to pick out meats such as porterhouses, t-bones, filet Mignon, and Ribeyes.

Once you’ve got the goods ready to be grilled, then preheat the grill to a high temperature and then lower it to mild temperature to prevent charring and to be able to cook the steak repeatedly on all angles.

Leave the steaks out so that they are room temperature for a while before putting it on the grill. Often times you’d take the steak out of the fridge about half an hour prior to grilling. Once you place the steak on the grill and begin cooking, use tongs to make punctures within the steak to allow the juices to flow evenly. Make sure to only turn the steak one time during this approach.

I just enjoyed a complete summer filled with some happy grilling recipes and parties with my close friends and family. We went way beyond just the hamburgers and hotdogs as well as the traditional fare. Hopefully everyone gets an opportunity to learn some great grilling strategies and entertaining ways to keep your guests intrigued through your get together all year round! It is truly worth all the effort, I can attest to that personally!

What type of repair person would I call to get my gas grill repaired? It’s leaking gas and not getting hot. Is this considered an appliance?

Some of the notable improvements for 2009 gas grill models:

1.) Knob and Handle improvements: Burner Knobs, Handles, Handle End Caps and Rotisserie Motor Mounting Plate will be made from cast 300-series stainless steel to ensure maximum weather resistance and improved aesthetics.

2.) Electrical System Improvements:



A) Higher Capacity Transformers to eliminate any subtle dimming of the LED’s and internal halogen lights that may occur when pressing the control knobs for ignition.





B) Improved wiring harnesses connections to insure secure connections and proper voltage to ignition points for reliable lighting of grill burners.





C) Higher capacity battery storage (3 batteries vs. 2) for more reliable grill ignition in a temporary power outage.





D) Improved manual lighting system provides a simple alternative for lighting the grill burners easily and safely as a backup to the primary ignition.



3.)  Maintenance Improvements:



A) Reverse mounting hardware for the hot surface / glow coil igniters, allowing igniters to be replaced in the field without removing the control panel.





B) Drip pan drain plugs to simplify the drainage of water that may collect in the drip pan should the grill be left uncovered in the rain.





C) Modified rear hood stops and application of hood bumpers to improve aesthetics and sound of grill lid when opening and closing.



4.) Security Improvements: Lynx has added a security chain fastening point that allows a free standing grill to be secured with a lock and chain.

You will find these product improvements on new Lynx grills beginning the first and second quarter of 2009. There will be no model number change to the current grill line.

My husband & I bought a house that has a Roper natural gas grill installed in the cement pad out back. We noticed that the grill is missing a few parts, and I would like to have someone check out the grill and see if there is even a natural gas line running to the grill. If there is a line, I’d like the line capped off so that we can use the grill as a charcoal grill. I’ve searched for “Roper” grills online, and apparently it’s a company that went out of business long ago, so I don’t know who to contact to take a look at the grill and see what it would take to get working or how to get parts, so I just want the gas line capped (if it isn’t already). What kind of contractor or service person would I call for this sort of thing?

The propane tank on my gas grill has a knob that says “Open” and “Close” but do I have to turn the knob all the way to the “Open” setting or will having it turned just halfway save gas?
