Inexpensive (but decent) gas grills

I wouldn't buy anything cheaper than a non stainless steel Weber. I have wasted my time with the cute grills that claim to have all of the bells and whistles for $250, but they are garbage. Get something that will last 10 years. I think you can get the bottom of the line Weber for $325 or so.

I've never used or seen anyone use a burner on the grill itself. We always just cook whatever on the stove if we need a burner.

I'd move up to that four burner Char-Broil Lowe's has on their site if you want to stay right at $200.

My gas grill is going on years now but I have no idea how old it was when I got it. We had a neighbor in college who threw it out becasue it did not work any longer and was too rusty.

well a wire brush, can of hihgtmep black spary paint, a new burner, a new push start clicker, a new grill surface, and some rocks all for under $60 and it works great.

Best part was he came over for steaks about 2 months later and remarked how he really liked my new grill and wished he could find another like it as he had one "just like it"

For Christmas we got the Duo grill. It is half charcoal and half gas

This is a char-griller advance model. I have one and really like it. If you cover it and oil her down, it should easily go ten years.

Even if it rusted out next year, I'd get another. i like it that much.

Had a few "cheaper" grills and the burners rusted out on them all. To replace them would cost as much as the whole new grill. Finally bought a Weber, so far, after 2 years, not a spot of rust anywhere.
