Hi Jillypie. Most would consider me a "grill snob" because everything I own is a Weber. Buying the best Char-broil that $129 will buy doesn't cut it in my book. I cannot say anything negative about getting a $4000 grill seeing as I recently got a Wolf DF range for the indoor cooking. Sorry I am not much help though this may be the only response you get.

Out of those 2 the Fire Magic. If you want a real "BBQ" though I would go with some sort of a Kamado type charcoal grill. You can build those in also and they are way better than any gas grill, last a lifetime, can cook anything on them. Smoker, Oven, High Heat Grill. They are ceramic which is better than any metal. I would do something similar to this and maybe have a small Infrared gas grill built in next to it. Or this with the Infrared gas grill just for quick searing. If price were no object I would get the above pair. A Primo extra large oval Kamado with a Solaire Infrared gas grill, although I would opt to get the Solaire Anywhere grill which is Marine Grade 316 stainless steel and you can take it anywhere with you, take it to the beach, camping what ever and it would work perfect for anything I would ever need a gas grill for. Its also much cheaper at around $500. Comes with a nice carrying case. It is also lifetime guarantee. Here is a link that might be useful: Solaire Anywhere

faron, don't you know the Penguins play tonight? Like, does anything else matter? All teasing aside, hope your Vikes win :) We'll probably switch to the game when the hockey action stops. (Personally, I'm counting down the days until February when the cycling classics get going. Riccardo Ricco is BACK!)

Actually MUA is not required by Code everywhere, only some areas. Regardless of Code requirements, the OP needs to do MUA with 1200 cfms because that much suckage carries with it the risk of sucking back CO into the house, i.e. backdraft. It's a serious risk because with that much cfms pulling air out of the house, other exhausts will be pulled in, like from the water-heater, furnace, chimney and dryer vent. That backdraft is bringing poisonous carbon monoxide into the home. You can get away with no MUA with an exhaust that is 400-600 cfms and if your house is drafty and not a newer super-insulated house. But not at 1200 cfms. At 1200 cfms, cracking a window will not be enough. You will need to install an MUA system. Either add that to the expense of your renovation, or choose a different cooking setup. People not willing to install MUA is a main reason why people forego the 60" ranges and their exhaust requirements, and opt instead for a 36" rangetop and separate ovens.
