Tom, I got da Consumer Reports tests. The top rated unit was the Vermont Castings VCS322SSP($1,000; cast iron grates). Almost equal was the Char-Broil 463250512($400; Home Depot; cast iron), given a "Best Buy" with price considered. The Weber E-330($800; cast iron)and S-330($950; stainless steel)followed closely. Various Broil King and Napoleon models were ranked lower.
