any suggestions?

I am leaning towards the ducane 3400. been a fan of ducanes since college days when they were indpeendent and not owned by weber, still think u get more for your money with a ducane and the quality of manufacturing is better than similar prioced webers and kenmore or homedepot and lowes brands of teh world.

any other suggestions? personal experiences?

I am looking for something with even heat distribution several zones if needed a rotisserie and with good built quality.

My last grill was a sudden purchase and sucked, I kept for a few years but it just started falling apart so idragged it to the sidewalk and someonetook it

for yr query read the online reviews -or- check out " consumer's report" before buying .
