Take a look at The Holland Grill.

Whatever you decide to buy make sure its plenty big for your needs and I won't buy anything that is not stainless anymore. I got a good deal from lowe's on a end of year closeout and picked up a $700 grill for under $400

weber weber weber the only way to go! i have had 3 of the small size ones (smokey joe's?) for camping over the years. i am on my second big weber lifetime (first wife still has the first one i think). cooks anything and everything. mine: hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken whole and cut up, whole turkey, turkey breast, turkey legs, cornish game hens, pork loins, pork chops, pork shoulder, pork steaks, pork ribs, meatloaf, pizza, veggies: onions, tomatoes, yellow and zuchinni squash, asparagus, ect. oh crap! i forgot...beef steaks of all descriptions, shis-ka-bobs, seafood: fish fillets, shrimp, crab,oysters, whole rainbow trout, various cuts of salmon. you get the idea.

Absolutly get something with extra real estate on the grill. I bought a stainless grill at Costco which has lasted 10 years and is still going strong.

She asked for grill recommendations.

But BGEs are badass.

Oh, they are grills alright. Please don't forget the most important feature - LIFETIME WARRANTY. I have a $700 Weber too, but I promise you I'll have to buy at least or or two more in my lifetime. Just saying.

I bought my egg 2 years ago and have used it numerous times each week. The weber still sits on the patio with a cover on it. I just don't have a need for it anymore now that I have an egg.

Here are a few of the items I cook on my BGE:

Fall off the bone ribs:

Beer Can Chicken:

Chicken:

Thanksgiving Turkey (saves oven space for the sides):

Flank Steak (Fajitas):

Best pizza ever (and fun for the family):

Sour Dough Bread:

Chicken Wings:

I have no recommendations for you that haven't already been said but I had to give you a compliment. If you're buying your husband a new grill, you are an awesome wife!

I just bought a new grill too. I did a lot of research and since I didn't have the budget you do, I ended up with an Aussie grill. They are made in Tennessee, so +1 for being USA made. Son has had one for three years now and it's holding up well. I do agree with the above post about the quality of a weber grill, but just couldn't swing it.

Check out this link with all types of grill reviews. The Aussie has a 4 1/2 star rating, while the weber grill has a 5 star rating with its weakness listed as some models made in China and some low quality stainless.

Thanks. He's a pretty good hubby though so he deserves it.

Mike H has it right. Try a Holland stainless steel.

If you decide to go with a Weber, shoot me a PM and I can probably get it for you for less than you find anywhere else. My main vendor is a Weber distributor

 

[Mike_Indy]

+1 for Weber. I have a Summit 0 I think its a 570. Had it for two years. Best I've ever owned, by far.

If he likes Charcoal, check the Green Egg. I've heard they are great.

WEBER, WEBER, WEBER or maybe a WEBER

Dang!!!! Bought mine a couple days to soon. Should have asked on a "gun forum" which grill to buy, so I could have found out about a Mod's connections

LOL! That being said, my distributor only handles the high end Webers....mostly the 200, 300 and 400 series.

I don't know if it's been said, but a grill cover will extend the life of your grill by years easily. Definitely a good idea.

Another reason to buy an egg - it doesn't need a cover.

Weber is the best. It will cost you 3 times what you would pay for a Char Broil or Brinkman but it will still be cooking great 10 years from now.
I'm on my second Weber, last year I purchased a new genisis natural gas grill to replace an lp grill I had been using for 12 years, my stepson now uses the old grill and is very proud of it.

Nothing runs like a deer and nothing cooks deer like a Weber

 

[gvbcraig]

Weber Genesis, they sell them at Lowes for around $700

I grill about 240 out of the 366 days out of the year. I used to replace my grills every two to three years. This one has lasted 5 so far.

I don't use gas grills, but I do use Weber's and have never been disappointed in what they produce. They make a great product.
