Any suggestions? I was thinking about a Weber Q becuz it can be portable. Then I think about just getting a regular, bigger grill. I have no idea about btu's or whatever. I don't wanna spend a ton of money, so maybe the Q is out..haha.
What do ya think??
I wanna buy a gas grill for my porch

I'd stay away from the cheap gas grills, they always seem to disappoint with super uneven heat distribution and usually only lasting a season or two. These are usually the grills I've had or have used.
You want lots of btus
Here's a link that may be helpful, theres some good info on what to look for in a potential grill.

This one is ballin. I love a grill that will always deliver nice sear marks. I imagine the heat retention of the grate helps fish not stick too. Its also on the smaller side for full size grills.

i got me the split charcoal / gas unit that has a side smoke box.. I wanted all three and found it in one unit. it's made by Char-griller. my father has the charcoal only unit, and a friend has the gas unit, that goes for $189. it's not the best, but for the money, it's a good grill. here's the chargriller website http://www.chargrill...uemart&Itemid=2 i have the 5050. the 3001 is the gas unit.
I was doing lots of reviews of gas only before I picked this up, and I really couldn't make a decision. I want a Weber, but don't want to spend the coin for a 3 burner unit... I want a bigger one.
I was looking for cast iron grates, with a ceramic finish (my chargriller came with these). I like they way they hold the heat, and since most units are going to be shit with heat distribution from the flames, this helps even it out a bit. What's your budget, and where are you looking to shop? the store may dictate to you the brands you are considering. there's also a lot of marketing bullshit to look out for.. the new "infared" trend is very misleading.. most of them are using grates with small holes to accomplish this (not infared an d infared heat source) and it's just a fucking mess to clean... my brother sold these at Lowes and people would return and complain about that.
as always I suggest reading through Meathead's reccomendations over at AmazingRibs.com: I've had nothing but positive experiences following all of his buying guides http://www.amazingri...nd_ratings.html
