Buy one with a rotisserie! You can thank me later.

Another vote for a Weber. They do make them for natural gas. Buy whatever Weber your budget allows.

Not from personal experience, but someone told me it's important to have adjustable vents underneath the coals, as well as the standard ones on the lid.

Yep, after you do one chicken ,you will understand.

We had a Ducane that was really heavy duty and probably would have lasted forever. It was a high end grill, very heavy, maybe commercial grade; I don't know. I just know the lid was really heavy, the grates were really heavy, and there was nothing flimsy anywhere. There was no stainless steel at all. I think it was all cast iron. They probably don't make them like that anymore.


Now we have a Ducane Affinity that my husband converted to natural gas. It has been great, but will need to be replaced next spring. The burner covers are disintegrating and the electronic igniter isn't working anymore. The grill was inexpensive enough that I feel like we got our money's worth out of it.


I thought I might try a Weber Genesis next.

I use a classic stick-burner offset, Big Green Egg, and La Caja China. I'm pretty good at BBQing, but I'm not much of a resource for gas grilling.

I'll second that. Spatchcock and can add a brick or two on top.
