My son and I would like to get a pit for my husband but are debating on brands. We have never purchased a good pit so we don't know what to buy. We have narrowed it down to a Weber Genesis grill, or the Charmglow. Have any of you purchased these brands before and were they good products? Also what does BTU stand for and what difference does it make when grilling? I would appreciate any advise.

I own a Charmglow and I like it. Had a Weber and never had any problems with it. Home Depot has a Charmglow out right now with 2 separate lids so you can cook to different items at once without having to worry about it getting too hot (think steaks and fish). But they should have a pretty standard Charmglow for $249 it is still a good deal. BTU stands for British Thermal Units, essentially what that is telling you is that 10000 BTU will get hotter than an 8000 BTU. I Would go with the high BTU allows for a higher overall temp.

BTU is British Thermal unit. It is the heat output of the burners, more BTU's = more heat.
You only mentioned grills yet said you were looking for a BBQ pit. New Braunfels is a good brand of smoker.
