Our little tabletop propane grill finally rusted out too bad to continue using, so we broke down and bought a larger upright model. I'm not a big fan of those oversized status-symbol grills that suck down the propane. I just need something that can cook up enough food for a small party, but isn't too big for one person to heat up a burger.

We went with a 3-burner grill, with a side burner, from Sears. It met my primary requirements of having a cast iron grate for good searing, and having a side burner. Stainless would have been nice, but it will be kept under cover, so rust shouldn't be an issue. It was on sale, which brought it under the $200 price we were willing to pay.

No fancy test food tonight though. Just a country sausage burger for me, and a turkey burger for Laurie.
