Need a new BBQ grill
Just redid my patio and backyard and need a new grill. Looking for something that I can use Spring to Fall and then put away in the winter. nothing built-in since my space didnt allow for it.
Looked at a weber but I know nothing about them or any grill for that matter since my last grill was a dinosaur that is rusting apart

People have been telling me that Vermont Castings grills are the way to go.

I've got my 3rd Weber. They are great.
I've got the 670 series. Plenty of space for grilling lots of food for people.

Vermont Casting and NexGrill are both decent. Costco has good ones under $450.
You want to look for thick gauge stainless steel so it doesn't rust and holds the temperature. I don't use the side stove or rotisserie features but you may want that. Get a thick weather proof cover when storing it outside.

I am partial to as many heat zones/burner tubes as possible, as well as porcelain coated, cast iron grates. An external mounted thermometer is also nice to give you a reference point of how hot the grill is when you want to start cooking.

Only the baddest smoker,baking oven,bbqing machine on earth!
The Big Green Egg is commonly referred to as a kamado barbecue because of the origins of the basic design that lie in southern Japan.
The shape of the Egg reflects ancient technology in that it is designed to contain the heat with only a small vent at the top to create a draft to keep the fire going. Today’s Egg is manufactured from high fiber ceramics developed for the space shuttle program specifically designed to reflect heat and this allows temperatures of up to 650 degrees Celsius to be reached. The external surface has a high gloss ceramic glaze applied to provide crack and weather resistance.
