Best type of grill for the money?

I figured the outdoor board would be a good place to come with this question. I'm sure you guys on here really know how to cook, especially when it comes to grilling.
I just moved into a new house and I'm in the market for a new grill, I was just hoping to get some feedback. Possibly a charcoal/propane, but I wanted to hear the opinions of you guys on a grill that it not at the highest end price-wise, something of good quality but at a moderate price range (no more than $600-700)

I like the New Braunsfels smoker. Heavy gauge iron smoker with a side fire box, that you can also grill on.
Plus you get to tend a fire... propane is for the birds and people of Arlen, TX.

$150 charbroil grill have worked great for me the past 2 years of constant use. No need to spend $700 on a grill IMO

It really depends on what you're going to be doing on it. Overall flexibility, go with an egg or similar type grill. If you do any smoking, listen to TClay. If you just grill steaks and chicken, get a $200 job from Lowes (ask for the american made one, I forget the brand but theres only one). My dad just picked up a gas and charcoal dual cooker from Sams that he is pleased with.
I wouldnt spend $700 on a propane grill though unless I was having it built into an outdoor kitchen.

Need to know what you plan on using it for primarily in order to give you a good answer. Burgers & dogs? Steaks? Whole hogs?

In the past I have been a source of a certain ceramic grill at a very good price. One of those bulk orders is happening again in the next couple of weeks. You would have to travel to Mobile or Baton Rouge to pick it up. wickowick@gmail

Weber genesis. Best bang for your buck that will last. Make sure you get a cover.

You really need two. Gas and charcoal are not in competition. They do different things.
The offset shown above certainly works. I have one. There is one huge problem with it. Most smoked meats are going to take most of a day. You're going to have problems with temperature. They are extremely inefficient. You can't leave the house during a cook. Mine will be moded soon. I'll post pics.
If it were me, it would come down to this: do I smoke more, or grill more? If you grill more, gas is the no-brainer answer. You're not getting anything from charcoal if you grill.
If you smoke more, get something in line with a temperature fan. Something like:

A guy who moved gave me his Weber Kettle that had some surface rust on it. I didn't really want it at the time, but after trying it, I'm glad I took it. Really like it. That was 3 years ago and it's still going strong.

+1 again. I love mine. Cook on it at least twice a week.

Bite the bullet and get an Egg. It's a bad sumbitch.

I can do a little better than that - Weber Q320.
Wonderful gas grill - you could load in a truck easily, the plastic pieces are not as cheap and flimsy as some. Weber burners and controls are all excellent. Under $400 with the cover.
If you stretched your budget a little, you could get a Weber Genesis - an E-330 is around $800 on Amazon.

Why not get a gas/ charcol combo, should be able to find a few in that price range.
