Best natural gas grill for the money?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I need help. I grill at least 4 times a week and need a bad arse grill that can handle high heat. I don't mind dropping some change if it is worth it. I've heard Weber is overrated. What do the foodies think?

Char Broil - TRU infrared, is a great grill for under $400.

Second person I've heard that from. Is it durable?

I don't hear this, much. Go to Amazon.com and look at the reviews. You'd be hard pressed to find a group of customers who enjoy their products more.
Is a Weber durable? No question. You'd better like it, 'cuz it's gonna be around for a long time. Any grill cooks good initially, but is it going to perform as well in 5, 8, or 10 years down the road?
Customer service? Superb.
The only people I wouldn't recommend it to, is folks who don't grill much. They probably aren't going to get the value out of it.

I'm a charcoal guy even though I do have a Weber propane grill. I have never even heard of Weber making a NATURAL GAS grill.
Are you looking for a grill you can hook to the gas line coming into your house?

its somewhere inbetween. it gets really hot and cooks well, but the grates take alot more time to keep clean and I have read of durability issues. the cooking surface on mine gets to 750 degrees, so its great for steaks.

Spend the money and go with a TEC grill. Expensive infrared grills. They get very hot and last forever. Mine is over over ten years old and is connected to my gas line on my rear deck. I love it. Again, make no mistake, they're an investment but I think they're worth it.

I have had one on my patio for years.
I have a few Weber gas and charcoal grills and smokers. They are all FAR better than any of the other brands I used to buy and replace as they crapped out.

Weber grills are great products. I have a weber kettle and a genesis. My dad had a kettle that lasted ten years.

My Weber Genesis survived Katrina, a move to New York, and a move back down south. Damn thing is 15 years old, and keeps on going.

My weber Natural Gas Grill is 5+ years old, and still looks brand new when I wipe it down and clean it up. The stainless cooking bars Don't pit or rust, and still look brand new. I recommend the weber with stainless steel to anyone.

I just completed an outdoor kitchen/man cave combo. I am a charcoal, wood smoker kind of person. I always thought a gas grill would be nice in certain situations but never found the right grill. I went to several outdoors shows and business who sell the upper end pits, but just couldn't find the quality grill I wanted.
One day several months back I am in a high end restaurant supply place buying stuff to outfit my kitchen. I noticed a grill in the corner and went over to check it out. It was a brand I never heard of before but when I opened the cover it felt like no other grill.
It was a crown verity pit, a company that makes products for caterers. LINK /
I ordered one from the factory and it is by far, better than any other pit I looked at.
Before buying a stainless steel model do a magnet test. Put a magnet up against the side of it, if the magnet sticks it is poor quality.

They cook great. I've got a Charbroil "Commercial" infrared on my back patio. First year or two I loved mine. Even talked my pops into buying one. Then about 3 years in it started to fall apart. Now (probably 6 years old) the grates are gone, the burners are shot and the whole back end has disintegrated. This thing lives under a roof and has never seen rain or elements. And the one I talked my dad in to getting is doing the same thing. They just don't last. They tout them as stainless, but only thing Stainless is the lid. The other components are some tin foil Chinese alloy. I would spend a little more and get a Weber. Or a little less and get an el cheapo gas grill. They'll make it for a few years, which is about what the Char Broil will do....
