What is the difference between the Gourmet and Conniosseur series grills?

Jay, I assume the gourmet is a larger grill with a warming shelf above the main grill surface.

1400 has a smaller grilling surface. The Q2400 is bigger than we wanted, but perfect for cooking for 4-6 people...we should have purchased the 1400 because we just needed it for two-3 people. Either way they are both good products. Our neighbor has the 1400 and loves it.

The grill itself is the same in all cases. The different model numbers just indicate different accessories, like the number of bags and whether they have tongs and a recipe book or not. The RG12 comes with 12 bags, RG24 with 24, and so on.

It is hard to say, as I haven't seen the BBQ Mate. It looks good. I know that the Cuisinart one is good quality materials. My son in law loves using it. Cleans up well...solid feel to it.

The Napoleon is a much better grill than the Weber. My neighbor has the Weber Genesis and even he says he wished he had bought the Napoleon! The built-in infrared unit is remarkable! Also very easy to clean!

The Imperial XL has two cooking compartments,the larger one for is general BBQing and has solid stainless steel grates,the smaller has cast iron grates designed to put the blackish lines on your steak and burgers ect It also has more storage and is lighted , You can go to broilkingbbq.com to compare more.

This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish. I bought the less expensive for my husband last Christmas (he loves to cook) and have been very satisfied. We use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up now and then and it looks great. He has a few pieces of the more expensive type, but other than a small difference in weight, I can't tell any difference in the cooking ability. If you are a real gourmet chef, you probably won't be happy with any but the most expensive cookware. However, if you are like most of us, the less expensive will serve you well for many years. :)

The difference is the Mercer line of knives in the set. The set marked 'FORGED' is the Genesis line with softer handles and full bolsters, and the 'TEMPERED GLASS BLOCK SET' is the Renaissance line which has Delrin handles and short bolsters. I'm torn between the two as I would like to have the Genesis handles with short bolsters as I've read concerns they would be difficult to sharpen down the road, and issues with the knife not laying flush on the cutting surfaces from a 'hump' developing. They do offer the Genesis chef's knife with a short bolster, just not as part of a set as far as I know. I may be buying the knives separately, though I do like this block. I'll have to put the Renaissance's in my hand.

There's no good answer. Own two grills or buy one that accepts a rotisserie. That said I love this grill. It is built more durable than the first version I cooked on for over 15 years.

I wouldn't say better, but I will say different! This is my second one(Masterbuilt)! Cooks well, and fast! I never had the George Forman stand grill but I had an indoor one and it was great so I would think that it is a personal preference! The way that you dispose of the run off from the meat is different between the grills! The Masterbuilt, I would recommend it to anyone!

As mentioned, these are different brands. I haven't used a Char-Broil for years, but can comment that the Char-Griller that we purchased a year ago has been very good. It heats up incredibly fast (seconds, it seems, to reach 500 degrees), is easy to use, and a great deal for the price. I will certainly buy another one should I be in the market for a second one.

From looking at the photos up close using the zoom feature, the charcoal grate on the AMZ looks like steel, like on a normal grill grate while the 30052 has a cast iron grate, which to me would seem to be the better model, which is confusing to me also.

I wondered about that myself and contacted Swissmar in NY. I asked if there was a product hierarchy and was told that there are no quality "basic vs. premium" differences. The differences are color (stainless, red, or black) size (4 or 8 trays), and whether the grill top is granite or stainless. Hope it helps.

I do not know the difference. I do know that I'm having a hard time keeping my carbon steel walk seasoned correctly. I have followed all the instructions but for some reason the coding of seasoning keeps flaking away and I'm forced to remove it all and start over. I have done it about four times now. I'm getting close to throwing in the towel and going down a different road.

The newer model (2014, I guess?), with the redesigned grill (stamped, instead of the old steel grate) eliminated flavorizer bars (which a lot of owners seemed to love), appears to be this one, model # 1141001:Weber 1141001 Go-Anywhere Gas Grill

I have both. The T-Fal is very clever... and it does what it says it does and can cook a burger and bacon really well. Quality wise, these grills are night and day. The Brevelle is like the "Viking" of grills. Very solid and made very well. The T-Fal is more of Target / Walmart grill as far as build quality. What the Breville will do for you that the T-Fal won't is sear. If you plan to ever cook a good steak, the searing ability of the Breville is amazing. It will heat up to over 500 degrees and cook meat like it should be cooked. The heating elements on the Breville are actually in the grilling plates... very smart and will get hotter then you will ever need. Good luck with the your decision.

Hello. One is a summit and the other is a genesis. The summit chassis is the rolls Roys of grills. Go on the weber website to see full differences
