Charcoal is the best I agree. But we Grill almost every night. I do have a Webber old kettle for weekends and camping, time permitting. We use a LP grill alot almost nightly, never had good luck with the larger manufactures the grill did not get hot enough and did not last more than a couple years. I did alot of research and found a Ducane Meridian 5 burner. It the Porsche of grills, works great gets hot enough to self clean itself. Good heat control. Good features will last 20 years. Very well made. Quality Stainless all hardware construction.
I don't remember the price. It was sort of spendy, but more than worth it. I highly recommend it.
