I purchased a Monument grill a few months ago. I believe they are only sold online. Assembly was minimal and easy, took about 30 minutes. I also bought a smoker box to put under one of the grates. You get the best of both worlds - the convenience and heat precision of gas with the flavor of smoke. Our house has a gas line on the patio, so I bought the NG version of the grill, but I'm sure the propane is just as good.

Bought a BGE 8+ years ago, and bought a blackstone a year ago. I love my egg, however, moving the egg was a bitch. You gotta give it 30 mins to light and get hot, then 2-3 hours to cool down to throw the cover on it.
Blackstone gets used 2 times a week though. Even the wife feels good using it.

Recently purchased a Monument Mesa with a side burner at Lowes.
Very reasonably priced and performs very well. I'm very pleased with it.

I had a monument, it lasted 2 years before the base completely rusted and collapsed. It was great otherwise.

I have the same one. It’s perfect for everything we cook. I personally love using the propane side to finish a brisket after wrapping it.

I bought a recteq before they sold the company. Great quality because if when I bought it but not sure it’s gone down.
Customer service used to be amazing, but has gone downhill since.

If you want versatility get a good gas grill with stainless flat top insert capability. I think genesis has this now. That’ll be my next grill.
I like my blackstone but don’t use it enough to warrant the patio space I’ve decided.
So I’ll go from Weber kettle, recteq, and blackstone to replacing blackstone with gas grill with insert.

I bought a Blackstone that I never use. I'd have to take the cover off and re-season it to ever use again. I bought a Weber instead, and it gets more use than the Blackstone ever did.

I have the natural gas version of this. Absolutely love it.

I built this exact setup from BBG Guys in BR.
It's a very occurrence for me to ever use the my kitchen stove. It seems like everything I do is in the outdoor kitchen.)

I've had a Weber 22" kettle for over 15 years. Replaced the charcoal grate, the thing that gets the old coal residue to the bottom pan and even lost the top once taking it to a friend's house to grill. Had to backtrack to find it next to a bank, lol. Smoked a beer can chicken and a rack of baby back ribs last weekend at the same time. Great grill for steaks and burgers but works great for smoking just have to work it. Looking to get an offset smoker like Oklahoma Joe's, just waiting to find one on sale. I have an old propane grill that I use for a warmer when the food comes off the Weber. Good luck.

I’ve tried and used everything. After laughing off pellet grills for years (then using lump charcoal or wood chunks mostly) I inherited a smaller pellet grill from a friend who had upgraded.
Every single thing I’ve grilled on that thing tastes like the best ever. I can’t even explain it, but it’s so clear I can’t deny it either. I’m planning on upgrading now too but this thing is adequate for now so I’m just rolling with it.

not a contest on who can spend the most to cook meat!

Which is why I think more people need to look at the Weber Kamado. It is light enough to move around the patio and cooks just like a ceramic except it’s way easier to make it come back down if you overshoot the temps, can use briquettes or lump, don’t have to worry about it cracking, and has the best ash clean out system going.

Traeger Pro 22 = $389 Blackstone 2 Burner = $299 Weber Kettle Premium = $249 Buy all 3, and still have $500 left over. How is BGE still selling these things? Are they vanity purchases?
BGE will last a lifetime if you don’t crack them or tip them over. Plus, they take up less patio space and cook like a dream over their lifespan. About the only thing on your list that would last as long as the BGE is the Weber kettle.
