My father-in-law and I are avid grillers and it was he who convinced me to
get a gas grill - the joy of grilling in the winter without freezing my @ss
off. This was 25 years ago and I don't recall what he had but it was
something he bought at K-Mart so it wasn't expensive. I bought a Weber and
he howled at how expensive it was.

Twenty-five years later we retired that Weber. My wife bought me a new one
for our anniversary. I replaced the favor grills three times and the
burners once. Meanwhile, my FIL had at least four other grills in that same
time.

Get the Weber.
