I forwarded this question to our acknowledged grillmaster at Mosaic
Commons (where we have over 50 residents), who says:

"Weber Summit S-620, which is my grill minus the bells and whistles.
It'll cook 30 or so burgers at once. Can get it in propane or natural
gas versions.  Stainless steel and cast aluminum, will last 20 yrs
with reasonable maintenance.  There's nothing finer for the price (and
probably not for twice the price)."
