This is an awesome grill - once assembled. Assembly is made difficult by the caged nuts that are found on the side panels. When screwing the fire box onto the base, a couple of the caged nuts came out of their housings. Once out, they are very difficult to pop back into place so be careful when attaching the fire box to the base unit. Make sure you have the screws lined up properly and this shouldn't be a problem.

Ultimately, this is the best grill I've ever owned. The heat is powerful and even. Ducane suggests pre-heating for 15 minutes and this is a good rule of thumb. This keeps the food from sticking and gives it perfect grill marks. I've only gotten very minor flare-ups even when cooking fatty foods such as chicken leg quarters. All things considered, this is a great grill. Just be patient and you will be rewarded.

I just installed my natural gas Ducane model 16008101 grille. It took me from 10AM to 4PM. The instructions weren't the greatest, but I managed. The 864 square inches of grille space equates to a 20" deep by 26" wide cooking surface, with two grille racks above, which aren't good for much. It's an aluminum body grille, with stainless steel burners, which should last a while. Be aware that the stainless steel base comes with a protective white peel off coating on it--when I first opened it, I thought that the grille base was white! The grille heated up real fast and has a spark starter to light it, which is very convenient. I'm looking forward to lots of quality grille time with it.
