Please recommend a charcoal grill for under $200

The one I bought at Walmart for $75 in 2001 has finally fell apart. I don't need anything really fancy, but I would like to get one a little better than the last one I had.

I'll probably be buying it at either Academy's, Lowe's, Home Depot or Walmart, so any suggestions on the store to buy from would be appreciated also.

If you are just wanting a grill it is hard to beat a Weber for about a 100 or less.

If you want to grill and offset smoke I saw Char-Grillers on sale at HEB for $139.99 the other week.

I'd like to have one with a side table & the only Weber I'm finding like that is $299. And on the one I looked at like that this weekend, the lid was not attached. Can you attach them or am I supposed to just find a place to sit it while I'm cooking.

Here's a couple others that I'm considering:

The grill above is a Kingsford Charcoal grill & cost $149.

This is a Brinkman & cost $199.

Does anybody know about these grills?

They sell a bracket to deal with the lid on the webers. .

Their website does show the lid holder and a side table that mounts to the regular weber grill. They are listed under grill accessories. It looks like you could get a weber, the lid holder, the table and still be well under your 200 dollar budget.

The Weber Kettle is a classic. They don't sell that many without doing something right. However, here's my next charcoal grill. My folks bought one of these at some point around 1961 - it lasted about 35 years sitting out in the weather without a cover. I learned to grill on it and you can cook up some outstanding meals:

270 bucks. I'll bet you the difference that my old man didn't pay more than $30 for the one he bought back in the 60s. It's a cooking sumbitch though.
