A friend of mine and I bought bbqs after we graduated from college and ended up working for the same company. I bought a Charbroil, he a Weber. As the years unfolded and we had diner at each others backyards he saw me struggle with the Charbroil 9000 (will never forget the brand and model of that piece of shit!) while the Weber was as reliable as could be. That F^%ing Weber always lit up at the 1st click of teh igniter and cooked evenly. Needless to say, I eventually (12 years later) bought a Weber. Never owned a smoker though.
