You don’t get much more basic than Char-Broil’s 2-Burner Classic. It’s small in size and price. The two 13,250 BTU stainless steel main burners actually have a bit higher output than many comparable grills. Ignition is piezo electric. The housing is porcelain coated steel and cooking grates are porcelain coated steel rods.

You get a few useful extras: 8000 BTU side burner, side shelves with tool hooks and a condiment tray up front.

It’s not our first choice by any means, but if you really have a tight budget, you could sure do a lot worse. Many people who own one of the Classic Series economy BBQ grills seem reasonably happy to accept them for what they are – made cheap to sell cheap and hopefully last at least a few years.
