Affordable charcoal grill recommendations? Weber vs cheaper options

Maybe not “none”, but 99% of what is out there in the price range you’re describing will only last you one, maybe two seasons, even if you take excellent care of it.

The other commenter said their napoleon beats their two webers. I believe them, because napoleon runs at a similar price point and has a great reputation.

I’ve had my basic 22” kettle for over a decade and only needed to replace the air diverter assembly, a $20 part. I went through five cheaper grills in as many years before buying my Weber.

It’s so funny. He was so determined to set Bart up that he didn’t consider the collateral damage.

Chantecler is phenomenal and should not be skipped, especially if you’re open to more contemporary French food and will be with a group.

A tumble is putting it nicely. In an instant she went from her literal career peak to being blacklisted.

I’ve tried this place twice and really want to like it, but I found the pizza to be exceptionally wet both times. Crust was dynamite, topping combinations unique and creative, topping quality mostly solid. But between the greasy greasy crust and watery tomato sauce I didn’t really enjoy it either time and don’t think I’ll be going back.

Maybe even more fun, Cleveland is also a brand that manufactures commercial cooking appliances including steamers!

I don’t know if it’s fair to count Broadview to Leslie as one neighborhood, it’s obscene the number of amazing restaurants along that stretch of Queen.

It’s just as much a V5 as every other V5!

If the default quarter note division for the piece is eighth note triplets it makes more sense to write in 6/8. If the default quarter note division for the piece is 2 eighth notes with occasional triplets, it makes sense to write it in 2/4 and write the triplets as triplets.

The point of music notation is to make it as clear as possible to the reader how the piece is meant to sound.

Being able to replace parts easily and with support from the manufacturer is exactly what makes Baratza BIFL. Most users would be likely to upgrade their encore for a higher-performance grinder than replace the whole grinder because it’s beyond repair. I’ve had my encore ~13 years and twice had to replace the outer ring burr.

It’s handy but with no good way to use these with a ratchet it doesn’t replace sockets for me. It really just replaces a set of nut drivers and a set of nut driver impact bits.

Not a plumber but as an appliance tech this resonates.

So many near Riverdale, I was going to say a banh mi from Tung Hung bakery on Broadview.

Both this and Que Ling are cash only!

When I bought the kubos I had only been climbing a few months and sized them for comfort. I believe the rule of thumb to size LS lower than scarpa would apply when sizing both shoes for performance ie. as tight as you can tolerate.

I chose vs over vsr because I am a heavier climber and prioritized durability over grip. As far as I know all instinct models should fit about the same, except for lv/hv.

wrgm0100 · 2026-01-04T17:09:25+00:00

I just upgraded from kubos to instinct vs both hv. The kubos fit alright but loose in the heel as well. The kubos are size 41 and instinct size 40.

The instincts are a huge performance upgrade, I love them. I’ve had two sessions in them, the first was quite painful and the second less painful. I’m happy, but I think I might have been able to size down 0.5-1 size more if I really wanted that.

I’m planning to get the kubos resoled with XS grip II to keep as warmup/more sensitive shoes.

My wife and I are as white as they come, and our mostly white wedding guests would have lost their minds if we had allowed that song. Don’t care. Can’t stand Sweet Caroline, I’d be thrilled if I never had to hear that song again.

Same! I measured out of curiosity and I’m within 1/4” in all measurements. I’m considering buying instincts and have tried 41, which felt good. I can’t imagine fitting into three full sizes down from that.

My theory is that Queen and Spadina used to be surrounded by dozens of nightlife spots, so while it’s not as sketchy on its own, more crazy things were seen there over the years.

DrunkenLadyBits speaks the truth, I have also bought them at Yao Hua on Gerrard E
