Now that grilling season is here, what is ck's preferred choice for 3 burner propane grills? I'm looking to get a brand new one but not exactly sure which manufacturers are going to last me longer than 4 years without falling apart piece by piece.

Not to condone propane heresy, but I've got a friend with a secondhand weber propane grill that simply hasn't ever been maintained. I'm guessing, based on the look of the thing, that it's 8 years old at most. The closest its gotten to maintenance is scrubbing crud off the grill surfaces.

However, if you really want durability, get a 22" weber charcoal grill. My grandfather's been using the same grill for longer than I've been alive. It spends its winters chained to the house so that the nor'easters don't chuck it into the sea, spends its summers as a test bed for three (soon to be four) generations of my family to learn to grill, and it still functions perfectly.
Charcoal master race.

Propane is shit, if I want to taste meat, not propane.

Hot coals burn at upwards of 2,000°F
Propane grills reach at most 450-500°F

Charcoal burns at temperatures exceeding 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,010 degrees Fahrenheit).

I'd prefer to taste the meat instead of the heat, thank you very much

K. Meat needs high heat for a better sear and crust though. So have fun with your dry, raw, piece of shit.
