Pitmaster Deluxe for Charcoal, Vermont Castings for Gas, if you want good taste get the charcoal, if you want faster cooking/easier get the gas.

Food tastes better over charcoal.

Quoted: it's apparent that none of you assholes have been to gunstock or hun farm while i was in attendance

Having been to the Hun Farm, all I can say is that TexRdnec is the master of the gas grill.  Just keep him stocked with mass quantities of Bud Light and you will not run out of excellent food.

Excellent choice.  I have the Silver C and love it, as I think I mentioned

The side burner is pretty handy, and puts out a surprising amount of heat.

Quoted: Go Weber or go home.

+1

The price of the charcoal "barrel" type grills are cheap enough I think I will eventually get one. After spending $500 on the gas grill, it will have to wait till the wife gets over this weeks sepnding. I'm up to $850 just today at the Home Depot Deposit.

Offspring,

Bottom Line - > get a grill that can burn charcoal/wood if you really want the taste of cooking in the outdoors.  If you want fast & easy, go for gas.  

Once you go charcoal/wood, nothing else tastes as good!

Smart people buy Weber gas grills, excellent choice!


BTW, charcoal  

Excellent choice for the money.  Weber makes an excellent product and they are great for customer service.
Vermont Casting is owned by a Canadian firm, CFM Harris.  I believe it was sold this summer to the National Teachers Union.  I only heard that report once and I have not verifed that.  We have had trouble getting replacement parts out of them every year.
If anyone thinks that a Charbroil is as good as a Weber, they don't knwo  of what they speak.  A charbroil will grill as good as any grill, but I seriously doubt that you get a life as long as yo9u will from a Weber/Vt Casting/Ducane.  BTW Dukcane is owned by Weber.
I have a small assembly firm that assembles grills for a major home improvement store.  I have been building grills since 1998.  We build about 2000 grills per year.  

Quoted: +1 for weber.  but go w/ natural gas if you possibly can.  it is so much better than propane.

Quoted: Char. Coal. Is best.
