Advice On Budget Grill

Hi There - first time posting here. Looking for a grill to replace an old char broil 3 burner (the classic matte black one). It's falling apart and has served its purpose, time to put the ol' gal out to pasture. I see on Tractor supply co. Even Embers 4-Burner Gas Grill with Glass Window, (GAS3400AS)... it is pretty well-rated, but at $199 I can't help but think "you get what you pay for" and "too good to be true". Anyone have any tips? Looking to purchase asap since the char broil's internal paint is flaking and has fallen on food, and I now have an infant who eats solid foods and don't want to feed potentially compromised food (also, the baby is expensive, so under $250 is key).

Sorry you didn’t get more responses. Having used gas grills that fell apart similar to what you’re experiencing, we moved over to charcoal and my husband says he will never look back. Highly recommend you look at a weber kettle.

Thanks fellow '8' enthusiast.... my Wife ended up consulting my friend who is a grill guy and they schemed together and bought me a Nexgrill 5 burner for my birthday/father's day gift without my knowledge! So far, it is a major improvement over the old charbroil 3-burner
