Buy it for looks don't buy it for life/performance, June 9, 2004

This review is from: Char-Broil 44200 Terrace Series 40,000-BTU Stainless-Steel Grill with Side Burner (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this grill at Kmart at a discount (under $300) about three months ago. The grill appealed to me for its partial stainless steel construction and enclosed under-body. It was easy to assemble and most parts appeared to be of solid construction. Unfortunately, problems appeared immediately after the first use. Namely, the pan designed to capture grease and other particles did not do a good job. Grease is leaking into the cabinet and onto my porch despite proper installation and grill standing on a perfect level surface. Also, the construction of the grill causes frequent and large flare-ups. Most of the flare-ups occur in the far section of the crates, where cross-ignition tubes trap dripping grease. In addition, the cooking surface temperature is highly uneven with much hotter temperatures at the far end of the crates (even when flare-ups are not causing it). On the plus side, electronic ignition system works beautifully so far. Bottom line is; I would not purchase it again despite attractive looks.

I just bought this grill for my family. It's very easy to compose and easy to use. With 40,000 BTU's of cooking power and a large, 420 square inch cooking surface, this Thermos grill is a great way to start off any BBQ.
Features
* 40,000 BTU cooking system
* 420 square inch cooking surface
* Electronic ignition
* 10,000 BTU side burner
* Commercial temperature gauge
I think it is a good investment to start cooking your own BBQ and enjoy having a great time with your family members.

I looked at the stainless gas grills and I am curious why there are no words about whether or not you can hook up these LP Grills to Natural Gas (a permanent position). I know that you can get a conversion kit but this approach is not mentioned anywhere. We use to call grills for natural gas "post grills" for permanent installations. Would appreciate an e-mail stating whether or not you can convert these LPs to NG. Thanks.
