I’d like to have something propane fueled since it’s easy to setup and clean but I could be convinced to go another way.

Not interested in the newer griddle-style cooktops, having an insert would be nice but I don’t want to be stuck with it as my only option.

Doesn’t need to be fancy or super large, I’d think just about anything larger than the classic clamshell grills would work fine.

Also, anyone had experience with natural gas grills? I’ve wondered what it would be like to have a grill you’d need to “plug in” to a natural gas line a plumber would install for the purpose. Seems like it would save a lot of headache with buying and storing propane tanks and it would also allow me to hookup a generator if the need arose.

    I’ve got natural gas, and will never go back to fighting wiyh propane tanks.

    Weber is probably your best gas grill option, but spend the money on their high-end line. A fair competitor would be Napoleon.

    Alternatively, abandon gas and get a Big Green Egg. It’ll outlast your grandchildren.

      Man I’ve considered all of those options but… they just take so much commitment lol. My first grill was a cheap one that rusted out in a few years and my second was given to me that’s just died. Now I need to buy a big-boy grill and stick with it and can’t figure out what to decide haha.

      How fiddly is the natural gas? Do you have to worry about line length or special cleanings or anything like that?
