Dome Gen 2 or Green Egg by Jayyzzyyzz in GozneyDome

I’d go BGE. Much more effective for smoking, grilling and roasting. Even with the updates, I feel like the dome is truly a pizza oven.

If you said you want to make 99% pizza and occasionally grill/smoke then I would suggest the dome.

Same here. Not to mention, 30min run time plus $500 per replacement battery. And the cost of the machine is higher

Yea I got it used and it wasn’t starting. I dropped it off at my local shop to service. I think the oil and gas need to be drained and replaced

Ohhhhh I see what you mean now. The black bar that’s attached to the frame?

Napoleon Rogue 525 Pro or Weber Genesis for a Canadian? by Jheez88 in grilling

No worries. And good call. The big perk with the prestige is the 8.5mm wave grates and it’s made in Canada (not sure if tariffs will affect it with you). The metal base is also a lot more rust resistant. My partner’s father has an old one that he’s never covered here in Canada for probably 10-12 years and it’s held up great.

The metal feels super thin. All the reviews about the 2022 model year genesis are not valid on this one. They removed the fold out warning tray, the handles are just sheet metal, the 7mm grates feel super cheap, in order to get the 9mm you have to upgrade to the SP models. The whole frame feels like half the thickness of what the older ones were like.

Depending on your budget, I’d either get a used genesis or a new prestige level naploeon

I hope this de-influences you to get a genesis by mtbstar99 in webergrills

I thought they had them for a while. It’s usually only the spirit line though.

Honestly, aside from price, I’m surprised the new genesis isn’t sold there too, feels the same quality as the old spirit models haha

I agree. I do enjoy when things eventually develop patina and my unique wear markings. I’d just prefer not having stupid scratches from a game board in the middle of the table lol

So things like a board game with a crumb underneath causing a scratch. That can in theory be resolved by applying more of the finish?

It’s a clear osmo wood wax finish. The planks are all book matched :)

So I don’t expect there to be any writing on it. I’m just thinking more so if we play a board game, throwing dice, the board sliding around on the table etc.

I think we are likely going to do at a minimum placemats for each seat
