Best thing I ever did was to spend a bit extra for a high quality, no nonsense gas grill that hooked up to the house gas.
It was an MHP (Modern Home Products) brand. Same company that builds those public park grills that last for generations.
If you're going to be around for a while...think about a natural gas hookup. I grill 3-5 times a week, year round and never think twice about my gas.
We no need no stinking side burners.
Mine is 11 years old and just last year I replaced the actual burner.
