Comment:
I searched high and low, most of the low cost grills are made of thin sheet metal or low quality stainless steel. I had a 15 year old die-cast metal grill, it was a solid grill for the money. Not thinking, I trashed my old grill when the $30.00 burner broke. If you are more about function, willing to forgo the stainless steel look that is used in most low end and some mid to high end grills, the CharGriller has a solid grill chamber that looks like it will last. The CharGriller is not made like a Webber, but it does have a thick rugged metal barrel design. On the upside it costs 1/3 of a comparable Webber grills. My only complaint is the stand is not strong and could fatigue or loosen up if the grill is moved around a lot out, like in and out of the back of a pick-up truck. It starts every time, even in high winds. I hope to ten or more years of weekly use out of it. Webber Quality, when you can not afford a $500.00 grill.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
