I used to be a fervent Weber user - 57s and Smokey Joes. I used to replace them about every 3 years as they would never survive the UK's winters if kept outside (oddly enough my garage is for cars and motorbikes!). Then I discovered Char-Broil...
I bought this off of a mate posted to Leuchars back in 2001, although mine has a cooker ring and temp gauge as well - it came out of the Nellis BX. Always kept outside for the past 10 winters and she is still in great condition and cooks fantastically (Gas is the King and charcoal is for those that like to give their guests food poisoning!). I will never buy another Weber again; they kind of remind me of US Muscle Cars and Harleys - look good but fall apart, rust and lack real performance!
BTW - chicken never a problem, straight from the fridge and not a dodgy belly for one of my guests ever...
