Loving our new Chargriller! This thing will hit 600� in a matter of mminutes and won't rust like my last Charbroil grill did. We use our grill year round and this thing still hits those temps in a short amount of time.

Since the OP is asking about gas grills, I'm going to have to fully recommend a charcoal of some variety.

If I were to compare it to... let's say... scopes, I'd frame it this way.

Cheap: spend $199-$299, & get a CharBroil, etc. This gets you a blister pack beauty from WalMart. It even looks like a scope.

Functional & Competent: spend $600 - $800, and get a Weber, Vermont Castings, etc. You step all the way up into a VX3 / Conquest level product. Solid performance, solid company backing it. Will last for decades, easily maintained, replacement parts (if ever needed) fit perfectly, and will return it to original working condition.

Sky is the limit: spend $1500 - ??? and get a stainless steel clad, infrared heating element behemoth. This is the next step, & you go all the way to Nightforce.

As I see it, one pays way too much for what they get on the low level of grills. There's a huge jump in quality, for not a whole lot more shekels to go up to the Weber level.

I've had a small Weber for 16yr. Several sets of flavorizer bars, several burners, new regulator. Weber always has parts and they are reasonable and shipped quickly.

Weber is the Toyota of grills. Want the best? Get a SS Holland.

If you don't mind buying used, there's a couple in your neck of the woods.
There's a Weber for sale in Zeeland that has a lot of life left in it.



Weber Sivler grill. Currently set to connect to natural gas. Needs new flavor plates that cost about 35$ on Amazon. Other than that it runs well. Could set it up for propane if you wanted.
$75 OBO


Another on in Kalamazoo for 25 bucks



needs new gas burners (~$40) for the weber. in OK shape. black, with 2 working wheels. 2 side tables

I'd look at the one in Zeeland. Get some Weber parts, pressure-wash it, and you're GTG!

I've got my Weber Genesis for prolly 3 yrs now. Cooks great & can get to some hot temps when necessary.

I do use natural gas though, not propane.

Get a Big Green Egg. I did and I will never use propane again.

I have one similar to yours, same brand except mine is the Duo model 50, uses both LP gas and charcoal, I won it at my local casino, so far I have had no issues with it. You are correct is warms up real fast even in cold weather.

American made and a damn fine grill.

I have had a lot of them over the years, what I have found out is that you get what you pay for. Weber, Charbroil, and a couple of others. All of them lasted about two years and either the grates or burner shields rusted out. I bought a Jenn Air, not cheap but after 10 years it is still going strong. Look for cast iron porcelain grates and stainless steel burner shields. Anything less will not last.
