I know it's probably out of the question in our current climate but check online marketplaces like letgo, craigslist, Facebook marketplace to get used (or sometimes new) grills etc. Last year I got a 16" Weber Smokey Mountain for $65. All it needed was new grates which I just ordered from Webers site and Amazon.
Is it a 14 or 18?
They don't make 16. Either way. A Weber will literally last forever. Barring weather. But you can either get a cover or put it away.
My pops was a Weber Smokey mountain from like 1990. Had a few dents from a bad hail storm.
The thermometer on my Weber cracked from hail, but I can get a replacement. Other than that it's good.
$65 for a wsm is good anyway you slice it.
  they didn't have any. Maybe because of st Patty's day, which they should be eating corned beef anyway. But maybe cause people are buying meat.
	
	
	
had my grille smoking for 6 solid hours 
lighter fluid is dead to me 

 I have never in life seen anybody use one and I been to hundreds of cookouts
 I have watched folks I know struggle with lighter fluid all my life
