    Thread Starter: Rick Potter

    I just finished looking at old threads about BBQ's. The weber seemed to be the choice in '05/'06. Is this still the case, or is there a new best choice? I just need a basic, medium size gas BBQ that runs on natural gas. I think I want stainless burners and grates, since I have had problems...
