I want to buy a grill for my deck that is relatively small. I was just curious about how much BTU a good grill should have, and a comparison between charcoal and gas grills.
I think it depends upon where you store it for the winter or period when you are not using it. I have a huge Weber grill and it is stainless steel on the bottom. I have it on my deck with a cover on it and have not had any problem with rust or discoloration either.
