I always used Weber gas grills in the past. However, gas grill restrictions at my condo forced me to find an alternative. My Q2400 electric grill was a perfect choice. The electric  elements heat rapidly, plus I feel the cast iron grates actually get hotter than my old gas grill.  Oh, there's 2 more benefits-- there's no flare ups and you never have to lug around a propane tank again! I'll never go back to a gas grill.
