The Weber Lumin Electric Grill
Living for the city shouldn’t mean living without a summer staple
Lighting a charcoal or propane grill on an apartment balcony is generally recognized as a safe and socially responsible activity by everyone apart from neighbors, fire departments, property managers, landlords, and co-op boards. The list will probably be missing a few potential objectors—such as the people you live with—when the burned fat, smoke, and carbon monoxide–laden fumes from the barbecue blow back into your apartment.
So, all in all, it’s fair to say that grills are typically for rural dwellers and suburbanites. But it was the neglected urbanite Weber had in mind when they devised this fine portable outdoor electric grill, the Lumin. As their marketing tagline ably, if wonkily, puts it: “Don’t Sacrifice BBQ for Big City Views.” Which we think means you don’t have to give up barbecue because you want to enjoy big city views. Or maybe the opposite. Or both. Or something.
