How to choose a grill? My grill is pathetic..

[mystree]

There are so many to choose from I'm wanting to get one but will probably wait until next summer,we just bought our house in Janurary and we bought a new patio set over the grill about 2 weeks ago.

We saw Alton Brown grilling on his TV show on a gas grill and the 4 gas burners went around the 4 sides of the grill rather than 4 strips across the grill like all of the other 4 burner gas grills I have seen. Would anyone know what brand that would be? The controls were on the side tray area instead of being on the front of the grill.

I absolutely loathe gas grills!! I was at a friends house Yeeeeeaaaarss ago for a cook-out and they used a gas grill. The food was so bland and didnt have that smokey flavor to it!! I love that charcoal flavor with maybe some wood chips.....mmm mmm!!

I have a gas grill, smoker and a charcoal grill. For a fast meal I like the gas grill. Turn a burner on high and let it preheat for 5 minutes. Put the steak and let it sear at 2 minutes a side. Then move it to the side and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes and your good to go. I will admit that charcoal is much better but sometimes I want a quick meal and it is not worth firing up the lump charcoal. My smoker only gets used on the weekends. Smoked ribs, briskets etc. takes a minimum of 4 hrs on up. Each has a place on my patio.
