How often do you all replace gas grills? I have a Broil King that was about $600 8 years ago. It still works but it’s starting to really look beat up, even after a really hard clean. Debating a swap to a flat top since I tend to use my charcoal kamado more these days.

I have a stainless steel flat top and even that begins to look rough after sitting outside for a while. You can get grill cleaners for the inside, as well as stainless steel polish. If you rub wd40 on the stainless it’ll help prevent burn marks, stains, residue from rain, etc.

This is more about the tubes on the inside and the deflector plates. All starting to rust out. The visual look I don’t really care about. I’m also noticing more flareups which I can’t put my finger on why since I just cleaned it hard.

Curious… do you use a grill cover?

I’m a function over form person so I’m not particular about the outside. As long as it works I’m good.

As for the flat top: I have the Blackstone 36”. It is amazing to cook on. I can cook breakfast for a family of 6 at one shot. That being said, the exterior did not hold up well so if looks are a priority it might not be the best choice.

Nice. I’m considering that Blackstone or the Traeger which seems to get great reviews… though nearly double the cost.

Traeger is amazing. But also see if you can spend $50 on specific part replacements

If you’re looking for a smoker, Traeger automatically feeds pellets for temp control. It’s a godsend for an 8+ hour smoke. I have an Oklahoma Joe that requires me to toss in wood chunks onto the fire every 10-15min. The flavor is mildly better than pellets but it makes smoking during the week infeasible.

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?
