As long as you have access to quality charcoal, just buy a Weber Performer Platinum and a couple of chimney starters. It will save you even more money (it should be under $400), should be able to be broken down into multiple boxes (total weight is 90 lbs), will deliver better results, and with the chimney starters it won't really be any more of a PITA to use than gas. Only thing that might be problematic is that you might need to stockpile charcoal for the winter months.

Watch that kind of language in the parts of the US where this stuff is taken seriously. BBQ = smoke and low heat. Grill = flames. For BBQ, you will ideally offset your heat/smoke source and the meat will not sit atop it.

Agree - charcoal all the way, its not a proper BBQ unless the following criteria are met:
1) Spending 20mins to get the bugger lit
2) Eyes streaming with all of the smoke in your eyes
3) Half of the sausages falling through the wire mesh.
4) The other half of the sausages burnt to a crisp.
5) Being completely plastered by the end of it all

Any self respecting man should have both (a smoker is also an option but I've always thought it reeks of trying too hard!)

Bumped across this thread while researching a nice gas grill for Germany :-) (Don't start hating just yet...I know theres a lot of you charcoal lovers out there). I want to get a gas grill since they fire up easy, have very little cleanup, and will use it as a daily cooked on our terrace. I've bought a few grills in my day but the european ones just don't seem up to par with the ones that I've owned in the US. Where can you get decent grills on this side of the pond?
Another question - should I be prepared to spend 2-3 times as much over here compared to the US? I've looked at what you can get on amazon, ebay, and online portals. Haven't checked out many local grill shops but realistically, what I've seen so far is Weber which is INSANELY overpriced.
Any thoughts on this? Any experience on buying grills in Germany or the area that might be worth considering?
Cheers guys!
