Stick with the Weber grill. Although the cast aluminum may last longer, the base it sits on certainly will not. With the extra money you save you will be able to get all the additional accesories.

Well, in grills I think you get what you pay for. The Portable Kitchen will last lifetime. I don’t think any Weber will. In the end, the decision is up to Scott, but there are so many options and this is one I thought he might not know about but should.

Actually, maybe he should look at http://bbq.about.com/od/charcoalgrills/tp/aatp062604a.htm and check out the charcoal grill top 10 . There’s quite a variety.
