I usually cook for 6-10 people every other weekend so I was looking for a cheaper larger alternative.
This doesn't make sense. That's a lot of cooking. You'd think you would want a very good product, not a cheaper alternative.

Weber Genesis or Summit. Buy it once and you won't have to replace it for a long time. Also, look at Broilmaster. Great grills, but cost more than a Weber.

You can get a Weber Genesis for $699 and it will easily feed that many people.
I have a Weber Q (the smallest one) and it has run for 6 years now with absolutely no hiccups at all, and would absolutely recommend any of the grills in that line. Not sure how big the 3200 someone here recommended, but my guess is it's plenty big for your purposes.

If you do buy the Charbroil, expect to replace it in 3-4 years. If you plunk down a couple of extra hundred dollars, you can get a Weber Genesis that will last 20-25 years.

My Weber Summitt is 12 years old and shows no signs of slowing. Weber customer service is fantastic, too.

I repeat . . . TEC . . . but whatever. You'll get years and years out of it and it's performance is superior.

Have a Weber 310 natural gas. Holding up really well at 3 years despite being feet away from out saltwater pool. Giving it it's yearly deep cleaning Sunday and noticed that the flavor bars are starting to rust a bit> Not ready for replacement yet but was happy to see that Amazon carries almost every part I would need for it.

Achenator - those flavorizer bars are probably under warranty. Call up the folks at Weber. They will probably send you some new ones, no questions asked.
This is something that is not mentioned enough. Availability of parts. Charbroil redesigns their grills every few years, and then it becomes very difficult to find the parts for the previous models. I can buy Weber parts for my 12 year-old Summit at Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware. The basic guts of the Weber haven't changed in many, many years. If I need new burners or flavorizer bars, they are readily available.
I had a Charbroil once that I had to replace because the burner rusted out and I couldn't find the exact same burner replacement part. I tried a generic replacement burner, but the heat distribution was ridiculously uneven, and I ended up throwing away a lot of food because of it.

I have a 36" DCS gas grill. I love it. It's a great compliment to my Primo. I definitely use charcoal more but sometimes I like the option of gas.

Yeah, I will have to play with the temp control as this thing gets crazy hot.

My Weber Genesis is 16 years old and still going strong.
