Question
I'm about to buy a BBQ and want to know which grill is best: Stainless sleel, cast iron or ceramic? I currently have ceramic and it's rusty. Which is easier and longer lasting?
Thanks,
Ellen
Sorry for the delay -- I was out of town with no acces to e-mail for several days.
In any case, the "best grill" is defined by what's best for you. I note that you have not specified whether you prefer gas or charcoal. If you are a gas griller, then I cannot help you, since I use charcoal and wood exclusively and gas grills are outside my experience. But if you are looking to replace your charcoal grill, get back to me with some additional information (how many people you usually cook for, what kind of food you like to cook, etc.), and then we'll talk some more.

Expertise
I can answer questions having to do with grilling or barbecuing meat (but not pork), poultry, fish, and vegetables over charcoal or wood. I also have some expertise in marinades and spice mixes. I cook only with charcoal and wood, so please do not ask me any questions about gas or electric grills.
Experience
I've been cooking with fire and smoke for 25 years, using charcoal and wood almost exclusively. While I do not usually cook with gas, I'm willing to try to answer cooking questions in this area. I cook meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and I've experimented with a lot of different recipes and techniques. I am not able to answer questions about grilling or barbecuing pork. Most recently I've been using slow-cooking (indirect heat) techniques, and have been very successful at it.
