I heard a consumer reports thing on bbq's yesterday on the news radio...they said a 600 dollar weber came out on top I belive... I need one also... just not ready to fork out that much cash but I will eventually do it when the cheap one I have breaks down...was kinda hoping my mom would buy me one for a house warming present but I think she has her eyes set on a pot and pan set from Emeril Lagasse for me...im not going to complain at all if she wants to buy me something
