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.

Joseph,
I looked at one of the duo's at lowes a couple of weeks ago and
really liked the look of it, except one thing. The handles. They looked
not very robust at the attachment point. how are yours holding up? Do
you think they will last or will that be another mod?

I remember thinking the same when I bought it. I even tightened down
the one at the store to see how stiff it was. So far so go, they seem to be
holding up ok. Actually I think the wheels were the mod I would have to
make when I bought it.
