I definitely agree that having a propane grill means you will use it more. We used to have one, used it several times a week. Because my behemoth requires an investment of time to get coals going, just to cook something for 6 minutes, we end up only using it every other weekend or so.

If I was in k9's situation, I wouldn't be looking for 1 grill that does everything, because a grill that does everything won't do anything great.

Perhaps he should get an R2D2 smoker for butts and ribs and such, special occassions, very affordable, can even find them at yard sales for $10. Then go and get a bottom of the line propane grill for your every day steaks, sausages, fish, chicken, etc.

You've got everything covered that way, and cheap.

I couldn't agree with you more. Ideally you'd have a cheap gas grill for quick burgers and dogs type stuff, a charcoal grill for steaks and other food that you want to spend a little more effort on and then a smoker. That seems a little extreme but it would be ideal.

I've about gone full circle and want a weber kettle to replace my gas....although it does seem silly to spend 30 mins getting it fired up cook some chicken strips and hot dogs.
