Hi Gang,
Posted this on TVWB but since this group is the hardcore gang wanted to know what you guys thought.
Need some advice for a friend. The thing that makes this request a little unusual is this grill will be going on the terrace of a 25th floor apartment in Manhattan (NY not Kansas). That means 250' off the ground, no gas/propane, and maximum dimesions of 48" width and 18" depth. (possibly 22" diameter since that's considerably smaller in overall area).
This particular friend loves food and is an emerging cook but doesn't expect to do any overnight queing. He's responsible and concerened about leaving an unattended grill out on his terrace for that long.
Cooking style tends toward the usual American steaks, burgers, chicken... maybe the occasional roast....
Expects the largest number he'd cook for to be 6 and is comfortable cooking in batches should his guests excede that number.
He also set a budget of $5oo.
I'd thought Weber performer and Big Green Egg. (Given the BGE low charcoal consumption and pleasant aesthetics possibly he'd wish to consider going the extra $200 for the large model.)
I was wondering what advice y'all might have on this question.
Thanks in advance.
