Comment:
Looked great and it was a Jenn Air after all. What could go wrong?? Pretty much everything. Gas valve when bad. Electric Ignitor went bad and the new one they sent went bad a month later. Burners clog up quickly and reduce heat to nil. Rusty parts and stainless steel isn't so stainless after all despite being covered all the time. What a joke--Wasted my money. Should have bought a Weber.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The non stainless parts are rusting away. The gas valve failed after 3 months. Held for customer service for 45 mins. He told me the valves were on back order and it would be 4 to 6 weeks to get a new one and I could go buy a cheap one until the new one came (it never did). The cheap one I bought worked fine.

Best Uses
Not a high quality grill
Comment:
Bought it from [@] for $699 less than a year ago. Use at my Marina. Grill is covered when not in use. Stored in sheltered patio, covered, during winter (Michigan). Screws, hinges and most metal parts are severely rusted already (less than a year old). The stainless steel shows numerous rusty areas. I have some metalworking experience and this is presently typical of low quality stainless sheel from China. I would not buy this grill again. I would have kicked in more money and bought something of higher quality. Doubt this will make it through this boating season.
