Recommendation for a Gas Grill
My gas grill is in need of parts (again...
 ) I figure might as well get a new one. Budget up to $500. Must be LP, have a side burner. Ideas?

+1 on Weber. Got one a year ago to replace an old one that we flat wore out. Man, what a difference.

That's what I need Byron but my 914 will not be turned into a grill.
Looks like I should get a Weber. Looked at DynaGlo, Weber and Uniflame

+1 on the Weber. We just bought a new Weber to replace the old one, which lasted for 16 years.

Firemagic by Peterson. Still able to get parts 10 years later. No iron - 100% stainless steel - even the burners.

and... Weber
Weber makes some small gas grills - they are cheap, have cast iron grates and can be used for tailgating that's what I use, since I rarely have to feed 10 people at a time |

+1 for Weber. My weber grill finally had the grates rust out after 17 years so I went to Amazon and ordered new stainless steel ones and new flavorizer bars in SS as well. 140 bucks and good as new for another 20 years or so. And my grill gets used several times a week.

Weber is going to be hard to beat.
I have an old Ducane it should last a lifetime. The new ones are not like the old ones WTF? They cheaped out. Go Weber !

I went to an independent place and bought new burners, gas valves and such for about $50.

My Ducane is one of the post-Weber ones, so not the good ones, but even so it seems like it will last forever. It sits out in the Portland winter every year, covered but still damp 11.99 months a year, and it hasn't rusted at all in 5 years. Everything is stainless, down to the nuts and bolts - hard to find that today. Parts are available, I could replace every burner and igniter for under $60.
