Expensive but there's a gas grill place at Strom White. I saw a really fancy one at Bazar Barbara. I mean a REALLY fancy one.

I think they have them at CostCo in Guad too. Expect to pay a lot more here than in the states.

Which brings me to another thought. Char Broil and I'm sure a few others are made in the USA. With free trade (thus no duties) there is no real reason for them to be much more expensive than Canada. Either way they have to be transported. Perhaps there is opportunity for someone to open up a BBQ shop around the lake......

Doug White has the Grill and Fireplace shop. The main brand is Napoleon from Canada. However, so many of the parts are made in China that the duty is high.

If you own your own home there is another wa to have a gas BBQ grill. I've seen them in some pretty fancy houses and they would not be expensive to build. Build a rectangular box with a shelf in the middle. Have it plumbed for gas. You can buy the burners in Guad. but your plumber will probably know where to get them. Have the herreria make you a grill for the top to cook the food on. I have a second hand big gas grill I bought and when it gives out I'll build the brick one and maybe even tile it. You can also build shelves out of brick above the grill.

Here is a link to one I've seen: http://picasaweb.google.com/simpsca2000/BBQGrill#

I was at Costco today and did not see any gas grills. Only one model, for charcoal. Wall-Mart last week had two models of Mexican-made gas grills, one for $2450 and the other for $3450, IIRC. They were both still in the box so I did not get a good look at them.

This link is from TOB...
http://www.chapala.com/webboard/index.php?showtopic=25786
In it you will find two phone numbers for Carlos Ramirez whose wife manages the Weber (BBQ) store.

When we were looking for a gas BBQ six years ago, I had to travel from PV to Guad to find one...in the Liverpool store.
Paid twice as much as I would have in Canada...there are now four places here to buy them...including Tio Sams and Rattan de Guadalajara.
The BBQ is now looking a little rough but still works like a charm and we do have it plumbed directly to our main gas tank.

We did something similar to this. We replaced a old, charcoal built in unit with a unit made for us by a kitchen supplier in GDL, on Ninos Heroes. It works pretty good if a bit funky to light. It has six burners in pairs of two (3 controllers) and a high lid that permits roasting of turkeys. It is all stainless steel. Cost about $700 U.S. at the time and I did the installing of it.

Thanks for all the feedback. Since we are only here until November-unless our plans change, and we hope they do-sounds like we should look at a regular charcoal grill. Has anyone tried the handmade (?) ones like we see at some of the hardware stores-- small half barrel type?

I have used those. They work fine although I can't remember if it had a height adjustment for the grill.

I was at Home Depot yesterday. They had only three BBQ'S displayed because the season isn't here yet. They were waaaay overpriced!

I also used the half barrel type and it was fine. They are cheap and some have height adjustments - they cost a little more.
