I am a huge Weber fan.  I have a Weber Genesis and bought a Weber Spirit for my parents.  Both grills are awesome.  Because of the Weber name and quality, I decided that I wanted to venture into the world of charcoal grilling.  Weber charcoal grills are a no brainer for this, but which one.  I knew that I wanted the 22.5 inch grill and I wanted the Gold version.  The only thing that I didn't like about the grill was the lack of a side table.  I figured that I would find away around that.  What I didn't realize, is that there is no temperature indicator on the top lid.  How are you supposed to regulate the temp if you don't know what it is?......Candy stick thermometer is the answer to that one.  What a hassel.  I found that you can buy a side table to go with you grill.  It clips onto the lower bowl.  This prevents the upper bowl from making a tight seal.  Why would this be important you ask.....If you are trying to smoke something (temps around 250 degrees at the bowl lid) it is really hard.  Air seeps into the coal area and adds oxygen to the fire causing the temps to rise.
