Help me pick a propane grill

The major advantage to Weber is that they stock parts forever. I've rebuilt my propane grill as well as my charcoal kettle, both of which are well over a decade old, simply by ordering new parts and throwing them in. They even comped me some parts once - well out of warranty - because the rep thought they hadn't lasted like they should (I didn't ask, she volunteered it). Maybe not the easiest solution, but I don't like throwing things out if they can be saved, and Weber makes it pretty easy to do that.

This. Last summer I finally had to do some maintenance on our 12 year old Weber and all the parts were readily available. I would have had to toss it and buy a new big box version (which we had done several times before.) Instead of a $200 replacement grille, I ordered $50 in parts and its good as new

My current grill came from a curb alert on the neighborhood FB page. I couldn't tell you who it was made by. It gets the job done and it was free money. 

I have a Coleman Roadtrip 285 that I carry in the RV. It's small, folds up for storage, and has excellent temperature control. It will cook enough food for 4-6 people. They aren't super cheap but I would recommend it to anyone. Amazon has them for about $275.

Edit to say. Mine is the 3 burner version and Amazon has it for $249.

My parents have a 25 year old Weber that is going strong. My neighbors have a 35 year old Weber they converted to NG that is going strong. My inlaws replaced their 30 year old Weber with a new one. Their old one needed a new burner, grates, and flavorizer bars - the sum of which made it too expensive when you considered the discount we got from our good friend who works for Weber. 
 

I have a Char Broil. It's fine. I like it well enough. 

Now I'm going down the rabbit hole of doing something like this:

Maybe with one of these in the bottom for cheapsies

Or one of these if I go horizontal

That's a lot of burner for a small grill. When the burner gets too big, it's hard to regulate at lower flames without going out. We had a hog cooker with 3 of those in it. It was very difficult to regulate. They were also bad about filling up with grease.

We ended up building a pipe burner for it. It was easily regulated from 200-500 degrees. 

By all means, include an infrared burner. The only thing better for searing a steak is smoking hot cast iron.
