Why Choose C Bennett for Your Outdoor Cooking Solutions
Summer is officially upon us, and that means backyard BBQ’s with friends and family. If you’re thinking about replacing or upgrading your grill, C Bennett has a solution to fit any home and any budget.
When it comes to elevating your backyard barbecues, choosing the right grill is a pivotal decision that can enhance your cooking experience and bring lasting satisfaction. While big box retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Walmart might tempt you with low prices and vast inventories, purchasing an outdoor gas or Kamado grill from a local company like C Bennett offers distinct advantages that go beyond the sticker price. Here’s why opting for C Bennett is the smarter choice for quality, service, and community impact.
Unmatched Quality and Durability
At C Bennett, you’re not just buying a grill, you’re investing in a high-quality product designed to last. Unlike many grills found at big box stores, which are often built with thinner materials to meet lower price points, C Bennett offers premium gas and Kamado grills crafted for durability and consistent performance. Kamado grills, known for their thick ceramic walls, excel at heat retention and versatility, perfect for everything from low-and-slow smoking to high-heat searing. Gas grills from C Bennett are built with robust materials like 304 stainless steel, ensuring rust resistance and longevity, unlike the cheaper 430 stainless steel often used in budget models at big box retailers. A grill from C Bennett is built to deliver exceptional temperature control and even heat distribution, ensuring your steaks, ribs or veggies come out perfectly every time.
In contrast, big box retailers frequently prioritize cost-cutting, which can lead to grills that feel flimsy or fail after a few seasons. For instance, some Weber grills sold at these stores have faced criticism for declining quality, with customers noting they feel “light and unsubstantial” compared to older models. With C Bennett, you’re getting a grill that’s meant to last a decade or more, saving you from the cycle of replacing cheap grills every few years.
Personalized Service and Expertise
One of the standout benefits of shopping with C Bennett is the personalized service you won’t find at a big box retailer. The team at C Bennett—your local “grillologists”—brings deep knowledge and passion for outdoor cooking. They can guide you through selecting the perfect grill, whether you’re eyeing a gas model for quick weeknight dinners or a Kamado for mastering slow-smoked brisket. We’ll answer your questions, offer tailored recommendations and even provide tips on maintenance and cooking techniques to elevate your grilling game.
Big box stores, on the other hand, often rely on general staff with limited expertise in grills. If you encounter an issue, you might be directed to contact the manufacturer directly, leaving you to navigate warranties or repairs alone. At C Bennett, the team is there for you post-purchase, offering support for assembly, maintenance, or troubleshooting. And the majority of our grills bring with them lifetime warranties ensuring that your grill stands the test of time. This hands-on approach ensures you’re never left in the lurch, making your grilling experience seamless and enjoyable.
Comprehensive Services Included
When you buy from C Bennett, you’re not just getting a grill, you’re getting a full-service experience. Unlike big box retailers, where delivery and assembly are your responsibility, in some cases, we’ll handle professional assembly and deliver -for free- your new propane or Kamado grill to your home. This level of convenience is a game-changer, sparing you the hassle of coordinating multiple subcontractors or wrestling with a heavy Kamado grill, which can weigh up to 500 pounds.
Big box stores typically sell pre-assembled grills, which may not suit your needs if you prefer to transport the grill in a box or assemble it yourself. C Bennett offers flexibility, accommodating your preferences to ensure the process fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re setting up a custom outdoor kitchen with a built-in propane grill or placing a Kamado on your patio, C Bennett’s team walks you through every step, from selection to installation.
Supporting the Local Economy
Choosing C Bennett over a big box retailer means investing in your community. When you shop locally, your dollars stay in the area, supporting local jobs and businesses. C Bennett, as a local company, employs community members, works with local suppliers, and reinvests profits back into the neighborhood. Studies, like one by Civic Economics in Chicago, show that $100 spent at a local retailer generates $68 in additional local economic activity, compared to far less when spent at a chain store, where profits often flow to distant corporate headquarters.
Big box retailers, while employing local people, often pay lower wages and prioritize corporate profits over community reinvestment. By choosing C Bennett, you’re not just getting a superior grill—you’re strengthening the economic fabric of your town, fostering a vibrant local business ecosystem.
Exclusive Brands and Customization
C Bennett carries top-tier brands like Blaze, Coyote, LYNX and Broilmaster often offering models not found in big box stores. Big box retailers frequently stock product lines tailored for mass markets, which may lack the premium features or durability of grills available at specialty retailers like C Bennett. For example, Kamado grills at C Bennett come with accessories like heat deflectors or ash removal tools, enhancing their versatility for smoking, grilling or baking. If you’re dreaming of a custom outdoor kitchen, C Bennett’s expertise in brands like Blaze allows us to design and install a setup tailored to your vision, something big box stores simply can’t match.
The Kamado Advantage: Why Local Matters
Kamado grills, with their rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient clay ovens, are a premium choice for serious grillers. Their ability to maintain stable temperatures for hours makes them ideal for smoking, while their high-heat capabilities rival the best propane grills for searing. However, Kamado grills require careful handling due to their weight and setup complexity. For a small fee, C Bennett’s team ensures your Kamado grill is properly installed and ready to use, sparing you the challenge of maneuvering a heavy ceramic unit. We can also provide guidance on using lump charcoal and controlling airflow, helping you master the grill’s unique cooking style. Big box stores, by contrast, may leave you to figure out these nuances on your own, potentially leading to frustration or suboptimal results.
Gas Grills: Convenience Meets Quality
For those who value convenience, propane or natural gas grills from C Bennett offer quick ignition and precise temperature control, making them perfect for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings. Unlike the basic models at big box stores, C Bennett’s propane grills feature advanced components like multiple burners, heat zone separators, and durable grates, ensuring even cooking and versatility. Whether you’re searing steaks or grilling vegetables, these grills deliver consistent results with minimal effort. Plus, C Bennett’s team can advise on propane tank maintenance or natural gas conversions, ensuring your grill fits seamlessly into your outdoor setup.
Conclusion
When deciding where to buy your next outdoor cooking solution, C Bennett stands out as the superior choice.

By choosing C Bennett, you’re not only enhancing your backyard cooking but also supporting a local business that strengthens your community.
