Recommendations for gas grill under $200 ( updated with outcome)

I know all of the arguments for charcoal vs gas so please just keep it limited to recommendations for gas grills if you will please.
I have no need for a side burner or even for a side shelf for that matter. I would like a grill with about 24x12 inches of grilling space and at least 2 burners.
Any suggestions for lower end models that will not fall apart in a month?

This one looks nice for under $200. I think you really need side shelves. They're just super handy. 3 burners gives you a ton of cooking options.

Under $200, plan on buying a new one within 2 years.

I have this one and it works great. Runs a little hot on the middle burner but every gas grill I've had has that problem. I paid 139 bucks for mine at Lowes.

Not true at all. Purely depends on maintenance. If kept out of the weather and clean, no telling how long one could last.
Of course, if he grills 4 times a week...

the Weber Q i purchased, from recomendations from this board, has served me great.

Used to work at academy..an I got people to buy Similar to this pretty often. It's not on the grill isle(it's next to the crawfish burners). It has 2 cast iron burners(a lot better then those metal ones). This isn't the exact one(I searched and couldn't find it) but if you go look for it I'm sure you can spot it.

I got the Char-griller Duo Jr. for $199. It has a gas grill and also a charcoal grill....in case you ever want to do real grilling.

I agree here. I bought a Charbroil 4 burner bottem line grill 3 years ago. Paid $100 and it still doing fine. Need to replace the burners this summer, but I have cooked a ton of stuff in those 3 years.

I bought the Weber Q grill 2 years ago.
I love it for everyday use.
Its also great for roasting veggies and the such
Only drawback is it has only one burner. But that has never been an issue with me.
Of course I have a large charcoal pit I use for smoking and large cookouts.

I have the Charbroil Infra Red and it is a very good grill for high temp. grilling. I do not use it to smoke anything. I have an electric Old Smokey that is 10 years old and smokes like a champ. Depends on how you use the grill I guess.

So, after everyones great input, I decided on repairing the old grill. I just couldn't find a new one that felt well made, was the correct size, and was under 200.
My old grill is an old PatioKitchen by Charboil that I got when my wifes uncle was throwing it out 8 yrs ago after using and abusing it for 5 years. I tore it down, repainted the metal and restained the wood and put in a new burner and push spark along with new rocks back in 2003. Even though I got the side burner working I never really used it and it made the side shelf uneven and useless.
Here is the old grill before this round or repair:
This time I replace the burner with a stainless steel burner, replaced the push start sparker, added a piece of extruded metal to support the new bricks, re stained the wood, removed the side burner and replaced with a large cutting board, added grill tool hooks, repainted the metal, added a more substantial shelf underneath to hold 2 propane bottles instead of the previous 1, and added a LED light. I am going to order a new grill grate too shortly. Total cost right at 65 dollars and about 2 hours of work. The new grate will be about 25 when I order it.
I think it turned out well:

Sweet. I just did not have the energy to repair mine. A purchase in the $200 range will be made by me Friday at either Lowes or Academy.

Thanks, I will get more enjoyment out of it knowing I fixed it up.
Those steaks came out great btw.

I like that light. Might have to pick one up for myself. The light on my back porch doesn't quite to it.

No, I flipped them just right. Those are stuffed venison backstraps so you need to serve them medium rare at the most.
The light is a cheapo from Target but I like it so far.
