I'll admit when I hear Fuego I think Renault. It was the first 80s sports car that, as far as I knew then, used a turbo. It was cool when you were in 3rd grade. Super cool actually. So now I can think "grills" when I think Fuego. They might not stick, the Renault didn't, but they look good and, honestly, I find paying big bucks for a big old grill kind of pointless in the first place.
My mental-mansion has a giant steel oil drum torch-cut into a long silly grill. But these are at least neat looking. The Vikings, Webers, Aussies, etc. all kind of look the same.
Look, I think Weber has been coasting since '69 or so, but really, a gas grill? Dude, will you be wearing a cute pink apron too?

No gas in there... all wood!

Well, maybe, but my cherished yellow Weber is a Simpsons commemorative edition that sloooow cooks our steaks and cheaper eats deliciously. I've done a turkey (2, in fact) on it and the joy of an afternoon with feet up and a radio in the backyard is made for Weber only. No gas grills, no screwy alternatives.
Listen to the master, dude. Weber, Weber, Weber...

Charcoal is king, fully agree. I use a Bar-B-Chef charcoal grill that set me back about $700. Expensive it is, but it's durable, sports a crank for regulating the height of the coal bed, features heavy cast iron grates for heat retention, and the cooking surface is sufficient to feed a pretty big crowd.

One excellent resource is Weber's new “Weber Grill Master” series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRN-VTuA0aw Grilling experts Jamie Purviance and Steven Raichlen compare notes on grilling techniques, what inspired these classically trained chefs to pursue the art of cooking with live fire, and find out what led to their biggest grilling mistakes.

I love Volkswagen's Beetles very much. I think that this advertisement was extremely curious for that time.
