I'm ditching the gas grill.

I pretty much hate it.........tired of cold spots, crappy construction, and running out of LP.

Any suggestions on a good charcoal grill?

I got an old weber and I love it... 22" I think? and it's lasted season after season.. even cook on it in the winter times..

Look no further my friend.

Webber, if you want to spend the money.

Otherwise any old multi-use, disposable that has an adjustable grill height. Try Wal-Mart for one of these.

Oh and it was under $25. bucks when I bought it brand new.. ;0)

I am pretty keen in the Weber One-Touch Gold.

^ yes

When you look at a weber kettle such as the One-Touch Gold from the perspective of physical sciences, it's nearly impossible to beat the design.

It's basically a giant focused reflector.

I have an old silver BTW. The vent covers for the bottom vents have long since failed and been removed - still works just fine.

A good friend of mine bought a 22" or 23" One-Touch Gold a few years ago. He loves it. The fact that the bottom vents don't "rot" out on you is great.

I like my Weber with the table top

I defer to Baron "Porterhouse"!

I got a Weber grill for free last summer (my neighbor went on a cruise and didn't lock his side gate).

Great barbecue (lousy neighbor).

Weber it is. I love my Webber (LP version)!

I got a big barrel style at Lowe's about 4 years back after trying to juggle stuff on a smaller grill. Can't recall the name but they are either $100 or $150. Big bastid. Cast iron grates on the first level, stainless steel warming rack higher up (also good for low and slow BBQ with lots of smoke). Has a smokestack on top and a vent on the bottom. I can stuff a couple racks of beef ribs, a couple chickens, and several brats on there all at once. I recommend it if you're serious about BBQ. I believe you can also buy a smokebox to hang off the side for an even slower and smokier setup, but I've cooked some great BBQ on that.

BTW, if you get it...the part in the directions for putting it together where it says it's a 2 person job? Heed that. Nearly killed myself assembling it alone.

OK, made me look it up. Here it is:

Yeah, that's the Lowes knock off of the Lukenbach "barrel" BBQ.

The Lukenbach's run about $199 and they come with the side smoker box. Smoker box is located on the left side, exhaust chimney on the right back corner.

The Lukenbach's are constructed from oil field drill pipe, so the outer shell of the Lukenbachs are about 1/4" to 3/8" thick, as are the side plates.

Smart & Final used to carry them. I don't know if they still do or not.

the best grill i'v had food prepared on was a pellet grill. you set the temp, select the type of pellets, (they range from apple to hickory, and everything inbetween), fill the hopper, toss in yer food, and close the cover. ya can smoke, bake, or grill with em. unfortunately, they're kinda spendy, but so dam versatile. it'll be my next grill.

Have a weber for the last 20+ years. Never fails and it is great. In fact, I am cooking on it right now.

Gotta run....
