I did it!
I went with the 22" Weber. Got the built in thermometer model. Went with the chimney, and that was the best tone i had lighting a grill. I eff web used the old charcoal that'd been sitting in there garage when i bought the house. The wife bought the match light stuff and it reeked of lighter fluid.
Our first meal was a couple of new york strips, oinion and bacon that were amazing.
I thinkntonight i will try my hand at some burgers. Or shrimp.. not sure yet..
Webers are like ARs.
Now that have one, you MUST accessorize.
The absolute best accessory I've purchased are the charcoal baskets...

Next is a good thermometer. The one on the lid is kinda useless. Get a dual probe model. One in the meat, one on the grill...

Not as important, but a great upgrade if you want to smoke for a long time, is a lid gasket. Really seals it up and keeps the and heat smoke in...

And if you're into ribs, a rib rack is really nice to have. I prefer this one to the Weber...

They do work great. I used one a lot when I cooked with charcoal. Good quality charcoal (I always liked Kingsford) is a must.It's a method to light the charcoal that doesn't involve lighter fluid. IIRC, you use crumpled up newspaper, then put the charcoal on top of it (in the chimney) then light the newspaper from the bottom. Once the coals are ready you dump them out into the grill and arrange them for cooking. I've never used one myself but have heard they work very well.

fun fact: Henry Ford was one of if not the first producer of commercial charcoal.
Yes, and all the scraps from the building of the cars themselves.Yes! Didn't Ford use the wood from the pallets used in his factories to make the charcoal? Seems like I read that somewhere.

Tomorrow is ribs!
If you're really cheap, and want something that does last forever, dig a pit.
I feed kabobs to 50 people from this small pit. Slap on a grate, a cook about anything. Wrap up a tenderloin in salt and a towel and toss it directly on the coals.
