SG,

Glad I could enlighten you on the sport of grilling in your underwear. I like propane because it is quick, no fuss, no mess. I can add flavor with a smoke bomb (foil pouch with wood of my choice) if I want. Most times it is turn on the grill, cook and eat.

Got 4 years out of my current grill, which I consider pretty good. Looks like Weber will be the deal, unless Rico has a better suggestion. I know Ryley got a sweet machine from him.

My welding skills totally suck, but I can wield a mean cutting torch. You want something ruined? I'm your man. I've got 10 years of restaurant experience, so I have no issue cooking for that many on a regular grill. It is all about timing, and managing your grill space.
