You have been given a lot of good advice in this thread. The two biggest tips I can offer for anybody looking at buying a BBQ:
- Thick walls. The difference between thick and thin walls often comes down to price, and a BBQ with thick walls will retain heat better. That means more even cooking during the summer, and better cooking in the winter.
- Don't buy one bigger than what you need. (Sounds like you are looking for small anyway.) I made the mistake of buying a big BBQ; shortly after having to drag out the camping BBQ during a family cookout. The problem is that in order to have even heat I have to turn on all 3 burners if I am cooking something like steak. Unless you plan on regularily having a lot of people over; bigger isn't always better.
One compromise I have seen, my buddy has a BBQ with two lids; so he can heat just the one side. I think he bought it at Superstore.
