We've had one for about 26 years, when we moved in to this house with
natural gas heat. I replaced the old grill that came with the house
a few years ago and noticed that the selection of ng grills was limited
compared to the bottled gas variety. I did find a Weber Silver that we
have been very happy with.

One thing I have noticed: our daughter lives 3 miles away and grills as
often as we do. They have a bottled gas grill which came from
California with them when they moved here. In winter when it is very
cold out, we don't notice any difference in efficiency of our grill.
Daughter's definitely takes much longer to cook in cold weather.

I never broil meat or fish. It all goes on the grill. We have a grill
basket for vegetables, often a medley of potatoes, onions, zucchini,
mushrooms and herbs, with a bit of olive oil. Sliced eggplant brushed
with olive oil does very well on the grill, too. Halved eggplant on the
grill make delicious, slightly smoky baba ghanoush.
