Grill Central!

Our mild Mediterranean climate in San Francisco allows us to barbecue year-round. And when we have those few truly hot days, don’t get caught in a hot kitchen cooking dinner—an entire meal can be easily cooked on a barbecue. Cole Hardware offers Big Green Egg and Weber grills, both blue-ribbon brands that you or your favorite backyard cook will enjoy for years to come. 

Wanting to enjoy the ultimate outdoor barbecue experience? Look no further than Cole Hardware! Our stores carry EGGs in various sizes, along with a large assortment of “EGGcessories” that will take your grilling to new heights. The Big Green Egg is the perfect grill for everyone—from the world’s most acclaimed chefs to the backyard chef who want simplicity, versatility, and convenience. 

Besides grilling, you can also roast, slow cook, bake, and smoke on an EGG. Big Green Egg’s Lump Charcoal is made in the USA from 100% natural oak and hickory and is quick to light. Food will have a natural taste with no hint of chemical additives. You have total control over temperature at your fingertips through the adjustable air flow, and the calibrated temperature gauge provides precise readings from 150–750°F. Clean up is a snap with a high-quality stainless steel cooking grid on the inside, and a unique glaze on the outside that stands up to the elements and wipes clean easily without chemical cleaners.

Not sure if you prefer a charcoal or a gas Weber grill? We can help you out. While our Cole Valley and Rockridge stores have a variety of Weber gas grills in stock and on display, if we don’t have the exact color or style you desire, we can special order it and have it to you in a matter of days. 

Charcoal

Some folks like the taste of food cooked over natural wood smoke. Charcoal grills can be less expensive, with a basic Smokey Joe priced at just $34.99. Hot coals can also be arranged so that you can cook some foods over the hottest direct heat, while other foods can be cooked longer over less direct heat. You’ll find a variety of charcoal Weber grills at our stores, from portable Go-Anywhere® grills that you can take camping or to the beach, to traditional kettle styles. Just add charcoal and food! 

Gas

After a long day at work, after-school activities, and errands, turning the knob on a gas grill is a convenient way to get dinner started, and it’s easy to adjust the heat up or down with just the turn of a dial. Clean up is practically nonexistent: Basically, just shut the lid. No messy ashes! If you will be cooking over a long period of time, a gas grill allows you to do so easily without having to replenish charcoal.

Weber gas grills are available in a wide array of styles and sizes. A Go-Anywhere® gas grill is ideal for someone with an on-the-go lifestyle—camping, beach outings, or picnics in the park. The Q® or Spirit® lines are perfect for a small patio or deck area, where you may have a little more space. And for a premium setup, consider a Genesis® or Summit® grill, which can be hooked up to your natural gas supply, eliminating the need for propane refills. 

We can assemble your barbecue and deliver it right to your doorstep. We’ll even throw in a bottle of our signature Cutting Edge wine to enjoy with your first gourmet grilled meal.
