We do now. The old BBQ was a propane Broil Mate (with cast grills) but we since upgraded to the NG Weber (which I searched out one with SS grills).

The NG is the best. BBQ is cleaned and heated up in 5 minutes.

I think the better analogy is red rims since it’s all for show and doesn’t make your steak any better.

I prefer having the entire surface of my steak seared than 6 little lines of charcoal.

What can I say, I'm the Shallow Hal of steaks haha.

And yea, my entire surface is seared + sexy grill lines. My BBQ is cheap, but it's pretty big BTUs.

My old cast grills rusted. Probably because I didn't season them and I hated having to heat the BBQ up for 20 minutes before cleaning it every time I wanted to use it.

SS grills are zero maintenance and you can scrub them clean before they're heated up.

I'm guessing the rust comes from using wire brushes. Yea, wood doesn't work here. I have a kid that hates anything black on his food aside from grill lines, so I have to brush the shit out of the grill especially for chicken. That does a number on the grills.
