I used gas grills for maybe 20 years. I never had one that worked for more than about 4 years, without beginning to replace burned out parts at a rather large cost. And, some of them cost around $500 new>> Didn't matter, still burned out, various brands. They did a "Fair" job, but did not hold up over time. The "Igniter" is a prime example. Charcoal.

On the expensive side of the charcoal grill debate is the notorious Big Green Egg, for about $700 and up.
On the cheap side is the durable Weber Kettle at $90 wherever you shop for it. Xtra $70 for smoker attachment.
Both grills have proof of durability, flexibility, ease of use, and extremely good meat brought to the plate.
Again, do your homework. I asked my wife what she thought about a $1000 charcoal grill?? She asked me if the grill cleaned the platter/shredded the meat/washed the dishes or shopped for food? I got the Weber (for now).
Good luck. It is a Man Thing, and it is FUN!!
