Though I am not a fan of Gas Grills, they are nearly a requirement when traveling. Many parks don't have a place to dump charcoal and may not even allow it. So I went with the Weber Q-1000, for the simple reason: It's a Weber, and the Q-1000 is very compact and storage is very much a concern. With my little Q-1000 I can toss a steak and burgers on and they sizzle seriously and there will be deep 3/8" inch wide beauty marks on the meat. I don't really think it makes as good of a steak as a Charcoal Grill, but it definitely leaves a sizzle mark. Now for some reason, burgers are a different story. It makes a burger that is out of this world. The only thing I really don't like about it is you can't shut off 1/2 the grill. All you can do is lower the flame across the whole grill. If one side shut down you could set the longer cook time products on one side and let the other side run and cook w/o worrying about burning the product. Most people are more serious about their gas grills then me. It really just needs to be able to cook burgers for me.
