It seems to me that all more or less decent grills are usually quite heavy, it takes some getting used to, but the cooking results are all advantages, well worth the effort.

I once read that there are changes in our palate every three years, maybe some of that has to do with your current love for peppers, but those are also delicious, no wonder they were one of your first choices to use the grill for the first time. Enjoy your meal!
