Well they are made out of metal so its got metal content....anyway
anyone have any opinions on a decent LP gas grill...We use ours hard
all year round, and usually cook out 5 out of 7 days, sometimes more.
No need for a sideburner.........

We have been buying cheaper grills and after 3 to 5 years wind up
trashing them and buying a new one again...Now the wife wants a good
grill. So far we have looked at the Weber Genisis series as well as
the Ducane and also Vermont Castings lineup....

It does not have to be a huge grill as its mainly just the wife and I
most times.

While the cheap grills are fine, parts later on are a pain to obtain
if at all possible, and most we have ever owned the burners just do
not hold up very long.
I bought a Char-broil 100 from HD eleven years ago and had to replace
the cooking grill last year after the rods were getting rusted/scraped
dangerously thin. The rock grate has a strip of sheet mild steel over
the burner area which I have replaced twice. The original burner and
push button ignitor are still in service.
Original cost for this basic, no frills, no bells, no whistles
burger/steak cooker was just over Cdn.$100 including new propane tank.
The best thing about this unit is that I am still on the original
burner, whereas the previous grill needed a new $50 burner every other
year.
