Well here is the issue you buy a grill and in just a few short years its toast and parts cost more to fix than new one. So what does one buy???? I only use it summers and not a lot (one propane tank) per season. Don't need those outdoor kitchens that come with a waiter and frig!!!!

Go charcoal and forget about gas. $100 grills last 20 years. Use real lump charcoal and the taste can't be beat. No grease to clean up (just dump the ashes) or bottle to fool with -- lightweight and easy to move where you want it. In the long run, will cost less than buying new grills and the gas. I used to grill with gas, but switched for the taste alone.

BTDT....always got cheap grills and kept throwing parts at 'em. Finally got a good one, like Char-broil or Weber, it's cheaper in the long run.

Married,
We, too, had tried various grades of propane grills...storm came along and made my decision for me. We now have a cheaper charcoal Weber, we like the flavor, the start time needs to be adjusted, but charcoal is our preferred method of grilling.

Weber Q Series. Best grill I've ever owned, and I have owned a bunch over the last 40 years. Cast aluminum body, cast iron porcelain coating grills, and stainless steel burners. I have used this one for over five years, and it still looks and cooks like new. A little spendy up front, but worth every penny.

I broke down last summer and bought about the best Weber gas grill you can get. One step below the best. It was $900 and change.
I too got tired of patching up $200 grills. Plus they have no BTU output. (the cheap ones)
This grill has a "Searing station" In 10 minutes it is up to 700 degrees.
Extra burner on one side. Stainless steel rod grates. And first ever, an ignitor that actually works every time!! Guaranteed 10 years. I could not begin to lift the boxes of parts. Very heavy grill.
Last grill I will ever need.

My experience with gas grills is that you get what you pay for.
I bought an "expensive" one 15 years ago for $400.
It had almost twice the BTU output capability as my old $150
one I was replacing every couple of years but it ended up using
half the gas. It's still going strong and the igniter still works.
I cook on my grill year around, at least twice a week.
Nearly every day in the summer.

This is what I use. I let my first one go when I sold my houseboat. It was 20 years old.
After messing with gas grills for a while I bought another PK and I am a happy
camper now.

I usually get the cheap ones. Last time we got one the wife splurged and got one with a side burner. We maybe used the side burner 1 time so it was not worth having. I found the key to keeping one for several years is to store it inside. I open up the garage door and roll it outside to cook and then once cooled down roll it back in. I've had to replace the vee shaped angle iron in mine but those were not that expensive.
Storing outside with a cover on them is DEATH to them.
