Weber (American, not German!) is the only way to go for the barbie. I suggest the 1-touch gold ( or its called something like that) with the ash catcher in the bottom. I've had mine 7 years now - had to replace a few bits in bottom due to rust last year, but it was no problem

exopensive perhaps but last for years - a good investment.
