Basic Weber grill. Will last much longer than Char-Broil and other cheaper grills. This model is without all the bells and whistles - no rotisserie, or side burners, etc.

I'm looking for a good grill. Good, but not extremely expensive.

Must have: a charcoal chimney, so you don't have to use foul lighter fluids!

if you're going the charcoal route, use lump charcoal instead of briquets. Burns hotter and less carcinogens

To reiterate from IRC get this:

Then buy normal kingsford charcoal (do not buy auto light shit or use lighter fluid). Buy some fire starters (weber or whatever brand). And some like mesquite or pecan or whatever floats your boat.

Take top off grill, remove grilling surface, put charcoal in chimney, stuff fire starter in bottom (or newspaper in a pinch), light, set chimney on grill where charcoal goes, go masturbate for 15 minutes, when you come back coals should be white on the top and hot, dump the coals onto the charcoal grill area (wear grilling gloves it will be hot as fuck or an oven mitt works in a pinch), use a metal spade of some sort to push all the loose coals to the center. Then toss on a couple chunks of the wood and close the lid. Wait about 5-7 minutes and you are ready to grill. (obv if you want to grill something without smoky flavor skip the step with the wood)

ProTip: While grilling you want to open the grill as little as possible.

Approved. IMO only way to go. Go Weber or go home. Did you know that Weber actually has a patent on the shape of their lid since it is the most effective shape to conduct heat? I have this exact set up and have been using it for about 7 years now. Keep it covered, keep it maintained and it will last you much longer than some off brand PoS. For wood chunks use hickory or mesquite. Also help to soak them in water or beer prior for added smokey goodness.

Also, Big Green Egg or bust. But they're also expensive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have an XL Big Green Egg. Yes they are very expensive but having had it for almost 2 years now i cook almost exclusively on it. You will never need to buy another grill once you have one and they warranty them for life if your the original owner. So in the end it ends up cheaper that buying gas grills as the damn things always rust or break and over the years will will end up paying more in gas grill then you would a big green egg.
The food cooked on these things comes out amazing. It smokes, grills, sears, bakes, you name it. Everyone i make brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken or steaks say its the best meat they have ever had hands down.
There are other grills like the egg but if you have the money i say get the egg since the company is very well established and has the better warranty.
