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.
WOW..things have changed...

- Start date
I don't slow cook so my 20 year old 18" Old Smokey has been keeping me in steaks and burgers for a LONG time. It stays in the garage when not in use, so it is still rust free.

If you start your charcoal with other than petroleum, your food will taste great. Otherwise you are seasoning the food with petroleum, yuck!

You clean yours???????
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.
OP
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.
The enamel is baked on at around 1,500 F, so it can withstand the heat of grilling and also hold up against rust and burn through issues.
So I am a happy camper....$399.99 pus $79.00 for cover well spent..

Fallacy.
Anyone who tastes petroleum after firing up a grill using lighter fluid is doing something very wrong.

When 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.

The home we bought 22 months ago came with a Nexgrill fed by natural gas.
We are most pleased.

If you have natural gas coming into your home for your stove, water heater, furnace of fireplace, you can have a line run to wherever you want to set up a grill. No more propane tanks running out in the middle of cooking those burgers or steaks. No more running out to exchange a tank for a full one. I have a Napoleon brand gas grill, using natural gas, on my deck for year round cooking outdoors. Super convenient and very low cost to operate once it is all set up.
I bought my grill maybe 30 years ago. Replaced the sheet metal burners a couple years later with cast iron ones. I have a layer of ceramic "briquettes" over the burners. Have replaced the actual grill a couple times. Then about 4 years ago I drilled out the orifices and connected it to the houses natural gas. Still cooks some mean meat
Natural gas has about 1/2 the BTUs of propane per volume so the orifices need to be larger. Thats what they change out in furnaces, water heaters stoves etc to convert them.
