I need an outdoor grill, best?

I received a small Weber grill as a gift a few months back and its sufficient for tailgating but I am looking for a nice beefier grill for my backyard(no pun intended). I have a pretty amble space so size isnt an issue. Any suggestions? Brands?

Gas or Charcoal?

I have owned several gas grills and the only brand I'd consider anymore is Weber.

Char broil's are nice too. My friend has one of their gas and charcoal grills. Love em both. We use the hell out of them.

I have the Natural Gas version of the Weber Genesis 310. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I bought the 310 because I saw the side burner of the 320 as unnecessary (and more stuff to clean).

Last year's model has the knobs on the side and the burners go side-to-side. This year's model the knobs are on the front and go front to back. The knobs on the side make the heating control a little more even for things like baking, but the knobs on the front makes it easier to do hot side/cold side.

PS once you go Natural Gas, you'll never ever want to go back to propane.

paid $249 or so for mine about 12 months ago.
It's great getting the charcoal starter chimney and being able to start the coals on the gas sideburner and not having to waste money on starter fluid.

Pagan beeyatches.
Weber. Charcoal.
Slow indirect smoke.
Sure I can use my gas grill and food will be done before the charcoal is even lit.
But after two hours of slow steady smoking there are never any leftovers.

Another vote for the Char-Grillr Duo 5050. 1/2 gas, 1/2 charcoal, all awesome. Oh, and get the side firebox.

@kamikazeken: Oh yes I must agree completely. My wife bought this as a present and I was initially let down. I don't want no stinking gas! But, where this is a champ is on larger cookouts. I do wings, for example, by getting them cooked on the charcoal side for that awesome flavor and then rotate them over to the gas side on low, brush with sauce and such.

May I also recommend ... if you are like me and the cooking location is far from where you can reasonably store your charcoal, to pick one of these up:

Through two winters, tons of massive downpours and my charcoal has stayed bone dry.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
