4.0 out of 5 stars Ducane Grill by WEBER, May 13, 2010

After looking at the desirable but expensive Weber LP Grills and having owned several of the mid-priced "junk" grills that lasted 2 to 4 yrs. I found the Ducane grill. It's made by Weber, has the Weber support and is a quality grill.

The Ducane name has been around for many years and though they had a good reputation they were hard to find. They line is basically limited to 2 products and don't have all kinds of bells and whistles. They just cook well. The 2 units are the 3100 & 4100 series. I purchased the 3100 which met my needs.

The Ducane 3100 equates to the Weber Spirit E-310. Both have approximately the same cooking area & have 3 burners, 36,000 BTU. If you have need of a larger cooking area try the Ducane 4100 with 4 burners, 48,000 BTU.

Both my son & son-in-law have Webers and one of the things I've always disliked about the Webers is that their controls are mounted on the top side of the table area. Why not the front like all others? Their location minimizes the surface area to be able to put down plates or items being used while cooking.

At any rate I bought my Ducane 3100 for $299.00, it was assembled and delivered for $10.00. That's a number I could live with and get a quality product.

Got the grill delivered, ordered from Amazon. Free shipping. Came ahead of schedule from the logistics shipper CEVA. Easy to put together (took me and bro in law about an hour). I think the performance will improve over time as it is seasoned a bit.. Tried to do chicken wings for the inaugural bbq and even at the minimum it was cooking too hot which I suppose is to be expected. My bad for going with a slow and low meat first time out... I love that it doesn't have a silly side burner (I find them useless) and you get real, nicely sized, usable working surfaces on both sides of the grill. Wheels and casters are solid. Everything has a nice, well made feel. The stainless steel cooking grates are awesome. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the warming rack which is ceramic coated steel (I think) and seems a bit undersized but not a big deal. Overall this is solid for the price. It appears to me to be of equal quality to the Weber Spirit but you get three burners for the price of two (for the comparably priced units) and unlike the Weber, the control knobs are on the front of the grill instead of being placed right in the middle of the side table work surface which always seemed stupid to me.

We've owned this for a year now and love it. There is nothing fancy about it but it performs well and holds up. The ignition buttons still work, there's an even flame and there is plenty of room for a family of 4 who likes to entertain. As far as assembly, my mother-in-law put it together while we were at work. She expressed some difficulty but was able to do it herself while watching 2 children at the same time!
