Left the old girl on the street as the move was winding down and she was promptly collected, but that left ME with no grill. Still have the egg so all good on the smoking front, but I need something for day-day.

 

Would like to avoid the Home Depot / Lowe’s route as those tend to fall apart, but also not looking to break the bank.

 

So, if y’all were shopping for something similar, where would you start the search?

Ace Hardware.

Why not buy a Weber at Home Depot?  Seems like they have most models, gas or charcoal.

Wasn't there a thread on the old site where a poster and his buddies built a grill or smoker from an old propane tank?  Lots of beer was involved if I recall correctly.  OP should go this route.

I got my burnt orange Weber Genesis at BBQ Outfitters in 2008. It was a bit nicer than what they offered at home depot. Still running strong 15 years later. I'd definitely go with Weber if you're looking for gas. A few parts have been replaced over the years, but they were readily available and easy to swap.

Team Weber if you’re going gas.  And Ace will put it together for you for the retail price.

Get on clist or fb marketplace and buy a solid/cared for Weber off somebody for at least a 50% discount.

This was the route I took several years ago.

the guy was complaining about how little he was selling it for and all I could think was “well, you know you could, you know, charge more.” as I gladly loaded it up and hauled it away.

Best part in s they’ll put it together, which is huge.

I’d try the grill district

Mary Ann’s Grills is the spot down there.

I bought my Weber online from Lowes several years ago and they put it together and delivered it, so not only Ace offers this unless something has changed.

 

Echo others here - Weber is the way to go, no question.

Related: anybody here have a Blackstone griddle?  Saw one in use at a friend's house recently, and it looks badass. 

My local Lowes had a couple of Weber Spirits at 50% off the other day.   Mine's still in good shape, so I passed.

Thanks for the advice, all - I’ve got a griddle insert which works great but now of course I’m debating just getting a big boy instead of a grill and using the egg for everything else…
