Anybody know of a good one? I don't want to have two different grills for my apt. I have been strictly against using gas forever. But if I grill 2-4 times a week, I hate to light up charcoal for 15 min before being able to cook. Not to mention the mess, etc. So I want a combo grill that has gas on one side and charcoal on the other side. I've seen a few around here and there, but nothing that I like.
I don't have any experience with that type of grill, but I was just shopping for one myself and I came across a model with gas-lit charcoal. It said it takes less than 5 minutes to get the coals going with a gas burner.
The Weber one? Eh...I want something that is more sectional and has a large cooking surface. I have my friends over alot, so I need something big. But I also grill for myself, so I need something where I don't have to use alot of charcoal.

But I'd call them and ask for advice. btw: does you apt come with an HOA. Are you sure you can use charcoal on your balcony? I can't. btw btw: what I'd do to save money is buy a nice gas grill and get the chef-quality charcoal trays. All you need is the smoke flavor, no?
must say that it annoys me when people i've met on the board (especially when I like them) ask a ? and I answer and get no response. this is not how Texans do things. b****
this guy would say a 1/2 charcoal & 1/2 Gas Grill would be an abomination. taste the meat not the heat.
