Buying a Propane Grill
After years of charcoal grilling, I'm considering my first propane grill. I'll be bargain hunting, I'd like to spend less then $250. What do I need to know about the world of propane grills? What are some must-have features?

Spending less than $250 will guarantee you are buying a disposable crappy grill that will last maybe 2-3 years before rusting out and falling apart like a Char Broil. You will be happy for the first 5-6 times you grill and then likely the excitement will decline.

I would look at grills that are $400+. Broil Kings are not as good as a Weber but much better than a Char Broil.

Yup, which is why I moved to charcoal.

This has not been my experience. I own a cheap char broil. I grill all my food on it. Grill on Sunday to cover the entire week. Sometimes I grill 3 or times per week in the summer.

I clean it, keep it covered. Don't allow the elements to cause it to deteriorate. And 5 years later, it burns like a champ. No replacement parts at all.

If people keep them clean and dry, there is no reason even cheap grills can't last a decade.

As always YMMV.

My latest

Weber spirit 320
http://www.weber.com/grills/series/spirit/spirit-e-320

3 burner, good metal, stainless steel grills, grills nice, tank gauge, side burner, 4 wheels, temp gauge.
Nothing will bend

There are cheaper grills at Lowes, the metal is cheap. BIL bought one, the side metal bent pulling it out of the truck.

Plus you're a Cardinals' fan. Do you gave any redeeming qualities or are you just a walking, talking ball of suck?
