Been looking for a new BBQ for summer. Been tossing up between infared and convection. 2 I've found to be of good value are at Masters. Leaning towards the Char-broil as i couldnt find any review on the Jamie. Although i do like the red of the Jamie.
Char-broil and Jamie Oliver

I have the char broil patio one, no complaints so far. Heats up quickly and cooks well
Don't know anything about the ones mentioned, but I've had my Q300 for 5 years, used 2-3 times per week, and it has never let me down. Weber customer service is excellent - last week I called them to enquire about a replacement burner and grills (the old ones had some rust). They replaced both under warranty, no fuss - after 5 years!!
Depends how you cook. For searing meat with the lid off, you just need nead as many BTUs as you can get.
WeberQ's from my experience rely on lid-down convection cooking.. similar to what happens in your oven (also known as baking). Weber products have excellent build quality too.
How did you come up with that price? It's 318$ on their site!!

I looked seriously at the Char-Broil infrared too and was tempted. What I did in the end was get some infrared Grill Grates. I was very skeptical but after reading impartial reviews on aussiebbq.info/forum I bought some from here: http://www.smokekingbbqs.com.au/product-category/bbq-accesso… (no I'm not affiliated)
This effectively turns any BBQ with a grill into infrared grill and I am a convert. These things are amazing. I've cooked the best steaks I have ever done by far on these things! And they are even better when used over charcoal. So my advice is to save a few bucks and get a regular gas BBQ and buy some Grill Grates. You won't regret it.
So for the second time this weekend… How does this (char broil) compare to the weber q2200? Very keen to buy a bit soon.
