I would recommend getting a Weber or a Broil King.
Personally, I prefer Broil King, as I find them to be as well-made (or almost as well made) as Weber, but at a significantly lower price.
There are a ton of different sizes and features to look for. Some that you will want to consider:
- do you plan to rotisserie? if so, get one with a rotisserie burner at the back.
- stainless steel or cast iron grates? I get a better sear with cast iron, but stainless steel is less maintenance.
- do you want a side burner? I have one, that I very very rarely use.
I'd recommend heading over to BBQs Galore (or some other BBQ shop). Look around, ask questions, bring a tape measure to see if it will fit on your balcony.
When you have an idea of what kind you want, you can either buy it from the BBQ shop, or look for a sale somewhere (Home Depot, Lowes, online?)
