Good charcoal barbecue?
 

I think it's very hard to beat the 22" Weber, especially the Weber Performer
with the gas lighter that I have used for years. It, at $399, is pretty
pricey. It will roast a 12-14lb turkey and a 3 rib standing rib roast with
ease, in addition to searing a steak properly.
The previoius poster says go to alt.food. barbecue. I would advise against
that. There is a strong bias in that NG toward smoking, or low temp.
roasting. That's a small fraction of what most people do.
Good Luck,
Kent

If looking for a grill, then I'd agree that treading lighly at afb would
be advisable. If looking for a barbecue unit however, there's probably
no better place for good information on those.

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...

Give this one a look over. Best one I ever had. You can everything from
a steak on very hot coals to a turkey.

Doesn't eat charcoal either.
