This is why I need to move. I'm relegated to a grill pan. My other option is one of those shitty park grills.
Weber makes the best everything.
Last night's dinner:
Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops
-Stuffing was fresh basil and oregano from my garden, garlic, a little evoo, salt, peper, blue cheese, feta cheese, parmesan cheese and a little bit of bacon.
Grilled Asparagas
-Tossed in evoo and balsamic vinegar, grilled.
Spinach & Strawberry Salad (not grilled)
Rice (not grilled, obviously)
Was DELICIOUS
Any recommendations? I know that is a really broad question. We're not uber grill aficionados, but will likely have people over a handful of times throughout the summer and then grill for ourselves every now and then. I think we'd prefer gas over charcoal just for the ease and quickness. Hoping to not spend too much money if possible.
What brands or models would y'all recommend?

How many people will you have over? We have the large grill on the trailer, but on the back deck we have a Weber Q 140 (see below). We got it for camping trips, but when cooking for just two of us, its easier and more efficient than the larger grill. I can fit a dozen 1/4lb burgers or close to 50 hot dogs on there at a time. Its a table top model that uses the small canisters, but for not much more you can buy the stand and use a regular propane tank. This is what we did. If you are primarily going to be cooking for the two of you, and are concerned about the money, this might be a good option for you.
Grill with the stand:
This.
@tsy...although I will defer to your opinion on all things related to smoke and fire, the trailer has a normal sized grill...the Weber Summit is a "big grill."
There is nothing like homegrown herbs of the culinary strain. Did you "stuff" them (as in, pack the filling in an incision on the cavity), or roll a boneless chop and bind with butcher's twine? I've become a real big fan of the latter lately, since structural integrity is a sure thing.
lol, if you'll donate it, I'll gladly put that big grill on the trailer. :thumbsup:
Did you approve of the dog/steak picture? I look at that picture almost evertime before making steak, good karma.
That has to be a photoshopped pic amirite? No way would a dog be able to hold that in their mouth without nomming it in two bites.
THIS IS THE ONLY ANSWER
Agreed. We have a Genesis that we've been happy with. Built to last.
@tsy...can you do small metal work repairs? I noticed on Sunday that the bottom plate of my Weber Steam-N-Chips box has started to deteriorate. I called Weber yesterday and that part has been discontinued We use the smoker box quite a bit and I was hoping that you may be able to repair for whatever fee is requred?
I've gotten better smoke results by putting the chips/chunks in an inverted flavorizor bar I set b/t two of the Weber's flavorizor bars. You can get one at Lowes or Home Depot for about $10.
That is a good idea, but how do you add wood chips if you are cooking for 4+ hours?
I'll usually only need to have one of the two grates in place, unless I'm cooking alot of food. If I'm using both grates, I'll just use tongs to tilt up one of the grates enough to allow me to toss more chips/chunks in. I don't have to lift the grate too much, as I have the inverted flavorizor bar sitting b/t the two flavorizor bars closest to the front of the grill.
