    You really can't go wrong with Weber or Vermont Castings...both very solid names. My father had a Weber that he used for over 15 years...never rusted out on him!!! I think he changed the tubes once in that time.

      Stick to charcoal, keeps your meat tender and juicy.

      Plus those propane tanks are a bitch to store, and you have to make sure they don't leak. Too much hassle, and they're expensive. Cleaning is a pain too.
      DNA, you make me laugh sometimes buddy....lol

      I dont think the heat from a gas grill is different from the heat of charcoal. If your kabobs got dry and nasty on the gas its probably because you had the heat cranked all the way up and overcooked them.

      Next, I have 2 propane tanks that just sit in my garage not so much of a bitch to store them.

      And to make sure they dont leak to much. You just twist it on really tight.

      As far as cleaning, why would you say a gas grill is harder then a charcoal? All you have to do is brush the grill with a wire brush. Charcoal you have to dump the old coals out and clean the grill. So I would think that is more work than the gas.

        I have both. I use my gas grill 3-4 days a week. Easier to clean up than the kitchen. If you learn how to use 'your' grill well (gas or charcoal) your food will come out great. Technique and timing is important.

        I use my charcoal when I really want to do it right and I have the time.

        I couldn't live w/o my gas grill though.

        Oh, and mine is a $250 (3) burner gas grill from Lowes (hardly the best out there) that I bought 4 years ago and it's still going strong. I will have to replace one of the burners soon though.

            Its probably we just had a really bad gas grill or my parents are retards and don't know how to use them.

            We would keep the temp at medium, and the insides never cooked fully. At low it took too long. And at high they cooked too fast, and the inside's were raw.

            I just remember every time we cooked, our food was very dry, no matter at what temperature.

            Cleaning was an issue because we had oil everywhere.

            I don't know man, its just charcoal suited us better
