Hi all,
Have been on the market for a new gas grill for the past few weeks and
it only gets more complicated. Have seen a couple that I like at BBQ
Galore (Capt'n Cook) that have cast iron burners, then a couple both
at Home Depot and Lowes with stainless steel burners, what is the
difference and which one is the better buy? Same thing for the
cooking grills, stainless steel, cast iron and porcelain covered cast
iron. Then I saw something new at Home Depot, their RED 3 or 4 Zone
Infrared grill. The flame never touches the cooking surface or food.

I did search Google, and now I am here for your expert advice. Many
thanks in advance.

Well can't claim to be an expert that's for sure, but I recently purchase
a new rig from Lowe's. It is a Char-Griller Duo that is both a gas grill
with side burner and a charcoal grill with a side fire box for smoking all
in one...

I only have a dozen or so cooks on it so far, but it is fast becoming
my all time favorite rig. I frequently grill steaks on the gas side and the
cast iron grill sears them to perfection. It is a big rig but the price was
right for me. I have owned or own quite a few different grills like Weber,
Charbroil, Brinkman, etc... over the years. Except for longevity, which I
can not yet attest to, the Char-Griller Duo has out performed my
expectations.
