Best grill to get?!

Wanting to kinda add some mods to my truck! Best site to purchase exterior accessories?
Don’t need a cooking grill lmao
“”””” Tacoma GRILLE “””

 

There best site is to realize that there is no single site. See something you like, hunt it down, figure out who the original fabricator was. Then buy it directly from them.

If you buy from the maker of the thing then you get better expertise and support of the thing.


Also, don't go looking for things. You'll go broke. Let them come to you. You'll see endless ideas, mods, and accessories on other's trucks. Some will sing to you. Those are the things that will bring you joy. Ignore what a drop-shippers catalog says you need. Those are wastes.

 

Weber

 

Yeah, Webers are great, but I really like my Gas Grill for searing steaks

 

Kamado Joe or death.

I have made a 30 buck weber positively sing however.

 

Time and a place for a propane/gas grill but if you have the time… charcoal Weber is the best IMHO.

Weber sits next to a propane grill but after two years my propane grill is done. I am seriously considering a Weber gas grill.

 

So far all I ordered was this from Tacoma lifestyle was like 15.99 for the top center console. I like the site but they don’t have a lot of options on there.

 

I've had highly expensive propane burners and I've had cheap wallyworld imitations. The only difference is that the expensive Captain Cook (hehe) lasted a few seasons longer than the cheapo before it finally died to greasy corrosion. But they cooked the same. Propane... Might as well oven-broil it. It's easy, it's social, but it's not magical.

You see the greatest variety in the wood burners. Never ever buy a cheap stick-burner. The temperature swings are impossible.

The charcoal burners are pretty efficient at any price. But now I'm on the ceramic charcoal burners. And I can say it's worth the extra time it takes to get the clay up to temperature. They're magic.

 

As I alluded to, forget them. Forget any "Tacoma****" site. Forget resellers and middlemen. Hang out here. Talk to people. Take your time. Dont buy it because it makes it look cool. You'll see things on this site that you can actually use. You'll know it when you see it. As I said, it will sing to you. I can tell you that there have been several threads that I have read where my thought process went "That's fucking stupid. ... How much is it? ... You know, for that price I might try it. ... This is the best mod I've ever done."

If you buy on there, you'll waste your money. You'll think you want it, then you'll see something that others are using instead of that thing, and you'll immediately realize that you will have to buy it again.

Ask anyone who's been here for a minute. They've all been there.

 

^^^ This all the way ^^^

Buy things that help you or you enjoy but spend slowly & wisely.

I have had my truck almost 6 years and 70,000 miles.
Mod list:

Seat jackers, driving over an hour was painful - function.
LED map lights because I couldn't see a damn thing - function.
Bed mat, waited for a sale - function.
Brake controller - function.

Subaru tweeters, the factory ones were dreadful - luxury.

Changed the grille, used take off - vanity.
T4R wheels because I liked them, used take off - vanity.

Removed the badges/stickers, free - personal choice.

All these years & miles later I still look back in a parking lot and admire the truck, it is exactly how I wanted it.

 

A good Kamado using real Coal is the only way to go. ( Royal Oak has never failed me ).

Of interest, FORD created the 'grilling' phenom in the USA. They even supplied some of their cars with grill-kits.
It all started when workers would gather up wood shavings, glue them into balls, and use those to fire up their hot-dogs.

 

No gas Barbie-Q’s for me, I like to burn mesquite and get it smokin in my Webber to sear my yellowfin that we just caught the day or so before.

Tacos, Tuna Tacos, and beer!

 

I don't like charcoal grills. They make the food taste bad imo. Natural gas, propane or wood if you have the space for the setup are the best.

If it were my truck I'd ditch the side steps and drive it as for a bit.

 

Charcoal makes everything taste terrible imo

 

I vote Yoder Smokers. Makes most other grills feel like soda cans!

 

I like Weber Grills myself
