My friend Jerry has a portable Holland grill. Thing kicks ass.
Propane grills

I have a Vermont Casting that I have had for 12 years...built like a brick shithouse. One burner has rusted through (thread on that coming up!), other than that, super happy. It was expensive, though, hope that helps.
I bought a Cast Iron Hibachi to learn how to make Yakatori. It has been in consistent use for 20 years. It is messy and dirty but I spent $25 at the hardware store for it. Lump charcoal and paper plates get her going. Potato chips as a firestarter... Works like a champ.
Tell me more...do you just light them?
Just hit them with the Lighter and see for yourself... Doritos also...
You don't have a bong shed ?
I technically have three...but I (sadly) don't smoke...
I am also a charcoal nerd. The Wife won't waste her time with charcoal so I broke down and bought a Weber. I figured if I was going to be spending cash on a grill and would probably end up using it occasionally. It's a Weber Genesis EP 310, I got it 10 years ago and its still going strong. Worth the hefty price tag.
and the shedSounds like the perfect excuse for a trip to the convenience store!
Edibles shed. Fucking genius. I am stealing that....
I am going to copyright Ed Shed. I will license the branding to you for a nominal fee.
If you're referring to gas grills, I never got that far. I looked at a few, decided that it was a complicated decision, dropped it.
I made the hop from charcoal to pellet (Traeger) and have been happy with the decision.
Just buy the red one. Doesn't need to be complicated.
me too for the last year. Except I got a pit boss on sale. I’m really happy with it. Great control and starts at the push of a button.
The bottom finally dropped out of the old one and I got a real nice cheapy from the Home Depot for like $150. This one also has the cast grates that are pretty much mandatory at this point.
I have Weber Spirit 2-burner that I bought secondhand from a friend. The starter button has been really finicky, and the heat isn't nearly as consistent across the grill surface as I would have expected, but other wise it makes raw things into cooked things so I guess it's fine.

i cleaned my grill about 2 weeks ago. it was nasty.
Weber spirit...but bots don't cook
You sure about that?
I grill on my Weber Genesis 4-5 nights a week, highly recommended.
Weber Q 1200 for this 2-person family. Simple, compact, one tank of propane lasts forever.
Dammit I want to grill some meat now. I recently purchased a propane Weber two burner grill. The whole process of buying a new grill is stupid. Go to all the stores, look at the prices, say what the fuck. Go back around and decide that it's all a giant scam. Look at used grills online. Used grills are nasty. Go back to nearest store and say I want the little one, dammit.
Go home and grill meat. Nod head yes. Hopefully this grill lasts a decade.

It's mostly all about the BTU's (for a proper sear) and even flame for me, but IME Webers are worth the extra cost for quality, ease of use, longevity, etc.
Mine average about 4 years. If you can get replacement parts at least.
Jeez. My last one lasted 20 years.
My Weber Genesis is 15 years old, cooks great(Burners replaced under warranty in 2018) and it still looks good. I also have a Weber 22" kettle, a couple Weber smokey Joe's, Traeger tailgater and a fairly new blackstone 22".
hey speaking of burning stuff, any updates on your ooni? or did you give up on it? i remember you had trouble getting it to max heat.
She's a keeper.
My W
ebber charcoal kettle is going on 30 years ashes go in a small metal garbage can to cool. when full it gets dumped in a kitchen garbage bag and tossed into the trash
I have the smallest weber you can get. It uses the small camping propane bottles. Small means it heats up super quickly. I can put it in the garage and even take it with me in the car if I want. I can sit in my lounge bench and grill.
I have had great success with it. It is by far my favorite cooking toy. I'm pretty sure my issue was the outside temp being in the teens.
I am going to research using coal as a winter fuel
