Comment:

Have used this product on natural gas for more than 7 years and haven't had to replace anything. Even the igniter battery is original. The stainless side burner, heavy main burners and rotisserie functions work superbly. The heavy cast lid is hinged at a point where it is perfectly counterbalanced and can be opened and closed with little effort. Grill is effective at 0'(F)or below in fairly calm conditions due to the tight construction. This a quality item which with reasonable care should last 15 years or more. Cons. It does need a yearly cleanup under the grill with a shop vac. Burner jets tend to clog and must be cleared annually with a wire brush and sharpened probe. Disposable foil grease trap does not always catch all the grease from the grill. Storage area door handle is awkward to grip.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months
