To heck with gas grills. Go with lump charcoal, wood, and even
briquettes started in a chimney. Briquettes are cheap, easy, and
while not as yummy as wood or lump, a good choice for novices, and not
a bad choice for more *seasoned* grillers.
I used briquettes, supplemented with a tiny bit of well seasoned
hickory to do a whole chicken a few nights ago, and it turned out
essentially perfect. I used a Weber grill, a regular Weber Kettle

There's an argument for shopping around if I ever saw one!
