I've cooked forever on a 22" Weber charcoal grill; not about to change at my age, although I did buy a new Weber last year because mine was vitually rusted out on the bottom.
You clean yours???????I always look on FB Marketplace for good deals. Sometimes you can find things brand new for half the price.
That said, I have a Weber Kettle - while I like it, it's a pain to clean sometimes.
I swear by my broilmaster grills. I have 4 of them! They are a aluminum body grill so they have great potential to work as an oven also with the uniform heating when fully closed. I have one at camp 26 years old. 2 of them at my house on the porch and one spare I bought for parts on facebook marketplace for 100 bucks. They are 1200 new but I find them all the time for under 200 on facebook market place. Aluminum is the way to go if you only want to buy it once.I purchased my cast aluminum Charbroil grill when I returned to the States 20 years ago, in June 2005. I’ve replaced rusted-out burners and drip shields more than once, but the aluminum body (and the cast iron grill sections) are still going strong.
I haven’t seen any grills with similar construction in quite some time. I assume because manufacturers realized they were lasting too long.
My Weber was delivered today and I really am surprised at how well built it is...Even has a angled cover under the heating elements so that all drippings from the drip shields goes into a removable catch tray liner that can be removed and cleaned and returned. The grill frame that holds the grill grates is not some thin piece of metal but rather thick steel which is coated with a porcelain enamel as are the grates themselves.I purchased my cast aluminum Charbroil grill when I returned to the States 20 years ago, in June 2005.

Fallacy.If you start your charcoal with other than petroleum, your food will taste great. Otherwise you are seasoning the food with petroleum, yuck!
and when ya need a little something to complement the grillWhen you’re retired and widowed,
It’s GO time.
You go to town and buy the nicest grill they have. And if they’ll deliver and set it up, do that too. And don’t give the price of that grill a second thought. You’ve worked hard your whole life and been through enough. Time to treat yourself right.
Then buy a bunch of nice meats and have a few buddies over.
Very nice indeed....Darn, you can feed the entire PGA tour off of that sucker.....
