Gas Grills

I'm all for getting steals and deals on gas grills (among other items), but if you go too cheap with your purchase, you'll pay more in the long run. Case in point: my buying the almost too-good-to-be-true $50 gas grill a few years ago, which I had to assemble myself. That grill went up in flames (literally) about a year later and crumbled into pieces. According to ShopSmart magazine, you should look for the following features in a good gas grill: premium-quality burners, stainless-steel grates, and heavy-duty construction. You should realistically expect to spend at least $150 for a quality product.
