I’m firmly in the charcoal camp and will never have anything else. I grill a lot.

I don’t now how much you wish to spend, but if $500-ish is not out of line, I’d encourage you to check out these Webers:

> Venture to the backyard, where your mood will gently change. Finish mixing salad on the side table while grates heat in preparation for the main course. Once all is done, and the timer sounds, take in the warm feeling of serving company amazing food....

They offer the best of all possible worlds: Charcoal with a built-in propane lighter to start the coals. Mine is a much earlier model. I’ve had it since 2007 and it’s still going strong. _Love_ that thing!!
