    I need grill suggestions

    Im looking for a good long lasting grill. I already have a pit, but we grill A LOT! Burgers, steak, chicken breast, fish, etc etc etc Nothing huge, doesnt have to be fancy, just needs to hold up for more than a year or two!!! I would prefer something that can be moved around on concrete without too much hassle. It is just me, my wife, and my son who is 3 so no need for some 55 gallon drum sized grill. Ive tried all the name brands (webber, old smokey, etc) and they just dont hold up for the long haul. Here is my current 2 year old old smokey



    After a little over 2 years, the grate is shot, the legs are falling apart, the body has holes, and the charcoal tray will almost fall apart in your hands! For $80 i would have expected more.

    Id say my budget is about $350 if i can find something that will actually last 5+ years. If it'll last longer, i wouldnt mind spending more. I spent $600 on my pit/smoker and its going on 9 years with plenty of life left! What have yall had experience with that actually holds up?

        Get one that's made out of an end cap.
        Or spend the money and get a Kamando Joe egg.
        I got one for Christmas and it awesome.

          Since you are mostly grilling I recommend a Weber Kettle Premium 26.

            If you are talking charcoal, get someone to build you one out of pipe. Put a tray in the bottom that you can slide out to dump ashes. Mine is at my other place or I would take a picture and post it. I've had it fifteen years and it cooked many steaks, doves, etc. on the lease.

                    Bought a pellet grill about 6 months ago. Best grill I've ever had. I was a little skeptical but it's awesome. Gives an awesome flavor.

                    You can smoke on it or do everyday grilling. I've cooked pizzas too.

                    Only downsides I've heard is you don't get the direct searing grilling. Hasn't bothered me one bit.

                    Picked it up on sale at Cabelas on sale for $499. Well worth it and I think it will last.

                            Do you use the Kamado Joe charcoal? and where to you buy Kamado Joe near Houston? I think they have a real small one now. Ive heard they are great
