you will love this WEBER grill!!!  our old char-broil gas grill after only 1 year had rusted and started to fall apart and one side stopped working completely. we finaly decided to buy a charcoal grill and really liked all of the WEBER grills. we don't need a huge grill because its just my husband and i. the 18 1/2 grill is large enough to cook just for the two of us or for friends and family. we also bought the WEBER grill cover and it fits and looks great. i (mrs lucas) put it together in about 10 minutes all by myself!!! well made, and has a really good warranty. the only negative thing i can say is that there was one screw missing from one of the grill handles but lucky my husband had a screw the same size so wasn't to inconvenient.
