Service for one thing. My grill came fully assembled and was delivered right
up on my deck. Two guys struggled to get it up the steps as it is quite
heavy. Some of those higher priced grills are similar with larger markups,
others truly have better and more features. Also depends on whether you
want an Escort of a Jaguar. Many variations, sizes, quality levels and
models of grills.

It takes more than lava rock to make a good or bad grill. It takes money
and engineering and quality materials. Chances are, your neighbor bought a
cheapie.
You can buy a grill for $99 or for $9000. If you want one to last you
another 20 years and perform well, plant to spend a very minimum of $500,
preferably close to $1000 to $1200. Don't buy it at the big discounters,
buy a reputable brand from a propane dealer or grill specialty company since
they carry the better brands. Weber is the old standby, but Vermont Casting
Signature series, MHP (modern Home Products) Broilmaster, Broil King,
Napoleon, and a few others are top notch.
Be sure to have a spare tank on hand also.

I have 5 tanks total, all the latest safety upgraded type.
I DONT like running out of gas!
Actually I had 2 tanks one a spare, then saw ones being tossed and
picked them up out of neighbors garbage, one was nearly full. at one
point I had 6, someone must of stolen it from my shed. it was full. now
i put the full ones on the front of the shelf to discourage theft. they
must of climbed the 6 foot fence, the yard is securee because of the
dogs. dogs probably tried to lick them to death....
People garbage the wierdest things:( the mostly full tank would of been
a hazard if it was put in the crushing truck/
One day I took them all in for exchange, they didnt charge extra for
the new style valve.so i am all updated.
I also have a propane bullet heater and some other stuff that uses the
same type tank.

does anyone make a lava rock type grill today?
i havent seen any in the stores:(
If thinking of buying a STAINLESS GRILL take a magnet!
NON MAGNETIC STAINLESS is much better quality and will last longer.
magnetic stainless will still rust, although slower
