too complicated....I can drag my Weber Smokey Joe little grill and a bag of Kingsford (or perhaps some mesquite)anywhere....Ceramic sounds too yuppie and/or Chicom for me.
Ceramic is as easy as a Webber. Check out the forum.

And check out Steven Raichlen on PBS He cooks on that monster Webber.
Then I'd color you uninformed. The Egg is made in the USA.
No knock on the Weber, I've had them, they do a good job ... and granted, the egg is pricey ... but I've worked long and hard in my life, having a few high quality toys I enjoy using is one of the perks of those efforts.
In this case, the wife surprised me with it to me on my last birthday. I cook on it 3-4 nights a week now.
On a side-note, it was only the second time in 31 years she's made a large purchase without asking - the the other time was my hunting rifle. No doubt about it, I married up.
