I have a Char-Griller three-burner gas grill. For the money it was pretty good - but I got a model that had enameled grates that the finish started to chip-off after the first year, and I had to replace. I think their latest models have the regular cast-iron cook surfaces standard.

I tried to delete one post and deleted both of them… I will repeat what I just had up here he can spend a little extra money and get a grill that will last you a lifetime. John Haney of monks corner builds Alveron custom grills. He is just built one for NASCAR racer Elliott Sadler, and he builds for most of the competition teams In the Southeast. John’s grills are wood over gas, see you can control your temperature down to just one or 2° and it will hold there for hours and hours. 
Here is a link to his page.

John is a good friend of mine and we fished together every chance we get. He has taught me a lot about grilling the perfect pork butt and ribs. Before you throw away money on a disposable grill take a look at what he has to offer

No problem Paul, I saw the pics of yours. Nice grill no doubt!. I’m just not ready to spend that kind of money right now. I have way too many mouths to feed and 2 houses to pay for.

5 years on my Sears Kenmore all stainless gas grill.
4 burner with side shelf and side burner.
Still works great and looks great. No rust, no dents, no problems.
When I looked for grills I made sure to get all stainless. Anything black will rust and fall apart.
It sits outside under the grill cover.

Direct quote from Consumer Reports:
No one grills brand stands out as the most or least reliable. Coleman, Weber, and Broil King are less-repair prone brands than Char-Griller, Kenmore, and Member’s Mark. Due to their estimated failure rates, Kenmore and Member’s Mark cannot be recommended by Consumer Reports at this time. That’s what we found when we asked nearly 16,000 readers who purchased a new grill between 2010 and 2015 about their experiences. Our statistical model estimates failure rates for three-year-old grills not covered by a service contract. Differences of fewer than 7 percentage points aren’t meaningful. Models within a brand may vary, and changes in design or manufacturer might affect future reliability. Still, choosing a brand with a good reliability estimate can improve your odds of getting a dependable model.
I think I’ll try something else.

It’ll get that sear you’re looking for.
Fifteen year old Holland Legacy Stainless. Sits outside uncovered and never misses a beat. It will probably still be here when I am gone.

I have a Holland (out of business) that is maybe fifteen years old. It does well for chicken and pork but is not good for direct fire items like steak and burgers. Chargrill (130.00 or so) lasts two years and throw it away. How many disposable grills can you buy for one Weber/jenair/etc…

I have a friend that has one of those and loves it. He found a guy in Augusta? that builds custom tables out of treated decking boards that his big green egg sits down in and it has wheels on it to roll it in and out of the garage. The table is big enough to put all of the essentials on for cooking and it looks really nice.
Edit: Not augusta, he said it was this guy, N. Charleston.

That’s great. Good on you and your wife for making 40. It takes 2 good people to do that. We just hit 42 last month, and my wife hasn’t bought me a green egg. I want one!

There is a guy who post an add almost every day for big green egg nests on Savannah Craigslist. They look pretty nice, but would be simple to build yourself.

Don’t want to hijack the thread but can anyone recommend a quality offset smoker?

Thanks, Godfather, but it was actually my 40th birthday. She’s put up with me for 15 years so far, so we’ll see how it goes…

I had a little Webber esprit or spirit 300, loved it. Now I have a Swiss grill and would never go back. However, not to start an argument but I have a Treager that use almost 99% of the time. Neighbor has a traeger also and that is all he uses. These days I only use the Swiss grill for the rotisserie.
