Hey All,
I wasn't really sure where to put this one, so..."General Off-Topic" it is.
I'm sure you folks won't be surprised that I am interested in divesting myself of fossil fuel infrastructure. While I am renting, I cannot change that I am using a gas combi boiler, but I did get an induction hotplate to use instead of the gas stove (which is awesome, because during a heatwave you can bring it to the patio and cook outside) but I also found that I could get an Electric BBQ here.
I'm not sure who here would be interested, but I was surprised that you can also get them in Canada.
What we got was this: https://www.napoleon.com/en/ca/barbecues...pro285e-bk
It's a completely normal Napolean BBQ but with an electric burner instead of gas. I've been really impressed. It heats up faster than gas, but works the same way in every other way. It's been great to use. Now it is what they are calling "travel" size. For me, it's more than big enough for a BBQ for a family of three, even with two guests. Rarely have I ever needed or used a full size BBQ. (And portability is nice because I can store it in the shed).
But if you do want a full size BBQ, I'm amazed but Napolean is coming out with a full size electric BBQ. I am seriously excited about this, I love BBQing and being able to do it without using fossil fuels is awesome. And...also way more convenient, no more running out to get propane cylinders.
Edit: This is also a game changer for folks with balconies where gas grills are banned for safety reasons. FWIW last time I had a balcony I also had a tabletop grill...but it was not at all like a real BBQ, more like an electric griddle...this IS a real BBQ.
