THERMOSTAT: Should have at least a 5 year warranty.

THERMOMETER: Should be bi-metal probe rather than a coil. It should be easily removable for checking its accuracy. It should have numbers, rather than some nonsensical words.

VALVES AND BURNERS: Look for United Laboratory (UL) seal and good bright brass. Burners should be easily removable. Stainless steel is a plus.

HINGES, TIGHTNESS OF LID FIT: The lid should open and close easily, have adequate strength for the task and make a tight fit.

COOKING AREA OF MEAT GRILL: more is better.

GRILL LEVELS: Multiple levels add versatility. The ability to raise and lower are a plus.

ROTISSERIES: worthless for most cooking and only complicate an enjoyable task. The bird or butt will cook just as well sitting still.

SIDE BURNERS: Not worth the price for the function. Only for beginners who are not likely to have a separate cooker. Most are too small and only produce 15M BTU's Cook it on the stove or get a separate cooker, which has the appropriate capacity, for frying and boiling.
