Andy we both BBQ about the same amount per week.That being said I have had the $100.00 model all the way up to the $1,000.00 model.Where I live my BBQ takes a lickin.......I forget to cover it alot of times and it bites me.No matter what kind of coin I drop on a Q I only get two three years out of it in the price range mentioned above.I seem to get the best value from a $250.00-$300.00 stainless steel model with the four heat sheilds below the cooking rack.Good luck,

PS, The peterson pucks work awesome in my gas grill.
