As with everything you get what you pay for so always pay at the top of your budget, all our grills are from the very best manufacturers so they will far outlast any budget grill. If you are not sure whether barbecuing is for you then it makes sense to start with one of the smaller grills and see how you get on. As your culinary repertoire grows and you feel that you will be entertaining a larger number of people then invest in one of the large gas or wood pellet grills and keep the charcoal for when  you are just doing a small cook.
