You should take into account many parameters when choosing a grill from the trite size to temperature control. I would draw your attention to https://bestgrill.reviews/charcoal-grill-smoker/ where various factors of grilling on coals are considered. Think also about the further use of the grill, that is, you expect to use it in your backyard or take it with you to a picnic.

Just about any of the Big Box stors will have a cover to fit your MECO grill. K-Mart, Walmart, Big Lots and even most CVS Pharmacies. As a matter of fact, in my area (VA) CVS sells the grill. Or one just like. Measure you grill (Height & width) and you'll be ready to shop.

Happy Grilling!!

SOURCE: What factors do I need to consider when buying a bed for my cat?

There are several factors to keep in mind when buying a cat bed. First is size. It should be large enough for your cat to stand in and turn around with ease, but snug enough to be cozy and secure for your cat. Second is warmth. Enclosed beds hold the heat in much better than open beds. Comfort should be an obvious factor in bed selection. Lastly, you will need to consider methods of cleaning. Try to get a bed that is machine washable since you will need to clean the bed frequently.

Why southbend temp various over the grill ? set on same settings but will be hotter in spots

This uneven heating is something "grillers" have dealt with since we started cooking...the heat is higher directly over the source and gets progressively cooler as you move away.. This is more pronounced with gas or electric grill/cookers..because the heat source is in a fixed position...WITH charcoal, you can spread the coals out (if you use enough).. and get even heat over a larger area.... I have a NEW 4 burner(w/hot pad) Charbroil gas grill and a old Charbroil charcoal grill...I HAVE NEVER used the gas grill...and I grill 1-2 times a week!! ..(it was a gift/two years ago.... wanna buy it?)

What kind of charcoal or lava rock do I buy for my indoor Char-glo waste king universal grill

You have a gas grill, so you don't want charcoal. You need lava rock, any big box hardware store carries them (or Amazon). Doesn't really matter what brand, just get a size of rock that won't fall through the grate. Take a piece of your old rock that won't fall through the grate with you to the hardware store. Get something as large or larger.

Grill worked fine for almost a year but I recently used charcoal following the directions in the manual (and it worked great). However since using it (& it is long gone), if I turn grill on high,...

Kathleen, the ash and debris left from the charcoal clogged the burners and caused the flames to shoot back thru the venturi valves, which is causing the flames to reach the control knobs. For the most part. I would suspect that the control panel, the electronic ignition, control knobs, the gas manifold for the burners and the burners are now completely shot.

Now, you're at the stage of determining is it worth it, to replace all the parts (if you can find them) and repair the grill. Since you didn't mention who the manufacturer of the grill is and how long you've had it. I have no way to tell how much it's worth. But, if it were me, and the grill is at least 5 years old and it originally cost $600.00 or less, I'd seriously consider replacing the gas grill with a new one. And if you want to do some charcoal grilling, get a separate inexpensive charcoal grill and take good care of it. During the weekday evenings when you don;t have time for charcoal grill to preheat, use the gas grill. On weekends, use the charcoal grill if you like.

Hope this helped answer your question and ultimately help you make the right decision.

I can't get the temperature high enough to go beyon warm, no matter how many briquets I place in the bottom pan.

Most of the time, it's not how much charcoal you use, it's how and where you place the charcoal pan for grilling and searing, as opposed to smoking food. The higher the charcoal pan in the grill, the more air it gets and the charcoal gets hotter. To illustrate this I have included a link to your Owners Manual (in case you have misplaced yours), to you can download and print for future reference. Pay particular attention to page # 9 - Grilling and Searing.

http://images.brinkmann.net/docs/pdf/810-5301-C.pdf

I would add to what your Owners Manual says about what type of charcoal to use, by suggesting that you use all natuarl lump charcoal, instead of briquette type charcoal. It the all natural lump charcoal is easier to light, without starter fluid. Plus, it burns cleaner and hotter than briquette type charcoal.

This should help you solve the issue you're having Happy Grilling!!

I lost the charcoal grate and the cooking grate. Where can I buy replacements

Measure the inside of the grill and go to Lowes, Home Depot or any large hardware outlet. They all carry a variety of grill and grates.

Tried everything but I never could get the temperature above 200

grill wok replaces charcoal bin
Confirming that it works well. Super idea and very effective tool for keeping the fire consistently hot. Roughly $12 for one at local depot. This takes the frustration factor out.

Temp will stay nicely for an extended period of time. You will use less charcoal, but you do need to check on it every 1 1/2 to 2 hours to keep the temp constant.

Additional information: Source:
http://www.smoker-cooking.com/cant-get-the-temp-up.html

Going online and reading the reviews on my smoker from Home Depot I found out that everyone has this problem with this smoker. Without making any adjustments it doesn't get enough air to the coals to make the temp go up. Most people drilled holes into the coal pan and that works fine.

Regarding gas Barbeque and charcoal Barbeque

It depends on your preferance

Charcoal most say it gives what your cooking better flavor but the disadvantage is waiting for the coals to get hot and longer cooking time due to less heat.

Gas quick cooking time, quick warmup time the disadvantages scrafice some of the flavor, unless you buy a gas grill set up to smoke it is almost impossible to use a conventional gas grill for smoking, and also you have to have enough gas to cook completly or have a second tank in case you run out.

Hope this helps Ya
