A good one costs $400 to $900, but it will serve you well for years. That’s more than twice the price of a quality charcoal grill, but if you prioritize speed and convenience, the higher price is worth it.

No grill matches its combination of exceptional performance, usability, durability, and value.

Three is the sweet spot—not too crowded inside, not too big outside. And you can cut the middle burner but still get even, radiant heat from the sides, for indirect cooking. After that I arranged the patties on weber genesis 2 the grill in a rectangular pattern with 1.5 to 2 inches spacing between them. I inserted one of the iGrill probes into the center, front patty.
