We had two cheap ones, At Walmart for 20.00 dollars we got a propane one and for 20.00 dollars we got a Small Round grill that just takes the charcoal briquets. We got a Chimney style Briquet lighter that you fill up with the briquets, crumple up two sheets of newspaper, put in the bottom compartment and light with a match. The Charcoal lights every time and in about 30 min you can pour the briquets onto your small grill or a Hibatchi and you are ready to cook.
I can cook a perfect steak on charcoal but on propane I have trouble getting the heat right. I think you can cook a good steak on a lower BTU grill if you can get the steak closer to the heat.
Donna is a great cook so we did a side by side taste test last Spring.
Two perfect Strip Loins, I cooked one on Charcoal, She cooked one on the propane grill.

It broke my heart to admit it, but the propane cooked steak was a bit tastier and she had prepared them both the same. I learned something and we had a great meal.
