OK, I usually get mad, but this one made me chuckle

Unfortunately brass burners and searing units are expensive, but that doesn't mean you can't get a decent grill for less money

My old charbroil worked pretty well

Just look for the following
  • Heavy grill grates (keep and distribute the heat better)
  • No windows, it just gets dirty and makes a mess
  • At least 2 zones, some items cook faster than others
  • Side burner, only used mine a few times
  • Rotisserie, first time I own one, haven't used it, yet
  • Gas or Charcoal (convenience vs taste)

For those that don't understand the searing concept, here is a nice explanation of how infrared works
