I have a primo and a weber gas grill. Since I got my primo, I think I've only taken the cover off my gas grill 10 times, and 9 of those were to swipe the propane tank to have a backup for my crawfish burner or jambalaya pot.
Sure, both have their place. But I disagree with those saying that a nice ceramic grill isn't worth the trouble. They come to temperature quickly, are easy to manage, and very versatile. I cook on mine 3-4 times a week.
As far as the cost goes, a really nice gas grill is going to cost you $600+ anyway, and the parts inside are warrantied for five years or less. You'll pay more for a ceramic, but it will last you forever. The Primo has a full coverage 20 year warranty, and some others come with a lifetime warranty. Better value in the long run imo.
ETA: As much as I love my ceramic grill, if I was going through the trouble to build an outdoor kitchen, I would just put both...or at least build in the space to have both at some point in time.

All yall with eggs how are yall lighting them? I usually just stick one of those electric probes down in the lump charcoal but it takes forever to get going good. Prob a good 30-40 min before its hot enough to be ready to cook.

These are also amazing. I buy these for survival bags: amazon
I've been using an Old Smokey for the last 5 years or so. Is it worth moving up to the Weber pits?
Weber on Amazon

It never takes me more than 10-25 min to get up to temperature if doing basic grilling.
I use 1 or 2 of these depending on how much a hurry I am in.

I start them up, after about 7-10 minutes, I turn the coals over.

I use one of these. Takes 2 minutes to get fire going and up to cook temps in 10-15 minutes.

I use an electric starter on my Primo and that grill will be over 500 in 20 minutes if I let it...

i'm growing tired of battling grease fires on my grill.

My dad built a bad-arse outdoor kitchen area around his Big Green Egg. He cooked the best turkey I have ever had in it for Thanksgiving last year.

I used to use the compressed cardboard starters, but just bought a torch. I bought the Bernzomatic propane torch (blue). What is the difference between that and MAP gas (yellow) as far as lighting the pit go, if any?
I bought an XL from wickowick's group buy, money well spent. I absolutely love it.

I have the regular 22 in kettle without all the fancy cart and electronic ignition. I like the simplicity.. you can even get a cast iron grate.

never used an egg, heard of them.
what are the advantages of them? i always thought they were just a small charcoal grill that was green... they do something special?

propane torch
Paid $25 for it at harbor freight. Hooks up to a regular propane bottle. Coals are red hot in a minute or two.
