Default Gas Grills

Anyone have experience with the mid-range gas grills?

Specifically, I'm looking for opinions on the Weber Summit (Gold)
versus Barbeque Galore's Turbo Select. Any information or opinions
would be greatly appreciated.

Weber is an old American company which still has the inventor's relatives
involved with the business. They have excellent products, both from an
engineering and a construction perspective. They are an excellent bet.

There are better (indeed, much better) grills on the market, however. If
you spend a lot more, you can get grills that make a Weber look like a
toy. They will work MUCH better than a regular Weber. Weber even makes a
line of such grills (maybe the Summit series?)

You might even be able to get a similarly-priced grill that is marginally
better than the Weber in some respects. But that's not a bet I would
take, unless I knew all about gas grills and could second-guess the
design and features of each one. Basic quality is an important
consideration with something that is going to stand outside in the
weather, and Weber pays a lot of attention to quality.

Ed Pawlowski should chime in on this thread. He's done a lot of research
on mid-to-upper quality gas grills, and why some designs are better than
others.
