I've gone through my fair share of cheapo (Craigslist) bbqs over the years. I'm now a Weber-guy and have replaced my old rusty, uneven heating cheapo bbqs with 3 very reliable Webers (1 propane Genesis E320; 1 propane Genesis S320; 1 portable Q100). I used to have two Q300s and a Smokey Joe, but got rid of those when I upgraded to the bigger Webers. I bbq year-round and love my Webers. No other brand for me, for life.
I typically throw at least two or three huge all-day bbq parties every summer with 50 to 120 guests (max). Just threw one last Saturday for my daughters' early birthdays and the Webers performed admirably. My two 3-burner Webers can keep up with my hungry guests without burning the food since the heat is very even and low setting means low even heat. On the cheapo bbqs, I had hot spots and cold spots and low setting didn't really mean low heat at all. Never again will I own anything but a Weber.
Btw, all my Webers were bought used and I paid $250 for one (slightly beat up SS version) and $400 for the other mint-condition black with SS Weber. That's the beauty of Webers. Even second hand, you'll get years and years of use out of it unless it was really trashed by the previous owner.
