This grill was a gift and fine the first year but then the pipe that carries the gas to the heating elements disconnected. We tried to put it together again and it did not work as the connecting solder was worn away or not applied correctly.

After running all burners for 15-20 minutes on highest setting, it barely reached 400F. After placing food on grill, temp dropped to just above 300 and would go no higher than 350. Replaced regulator, but still no better.

A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
