I bought this grill in 2008 for my husband after our 7 year old charbroil disintegrated literally! I was shopping for grills, which we use 12 months a year) and decided that 7 years was way to short of a time for a large metal object that would end up in a landfill. My conscience told me that I needed to find a more permanent solution or at least something that would last longer. I read reviews and did a lot of research and chose a price point at which I would not go over. What I found out was that stainless steel or cast iron works and lasts longer than porcelain coated. Electronic igniter is better than a push button or knob, and the thermometer almost always breaks. So I searched and bought the Ducane 3100. It was in my price point and had most of the requirements. I love it and my husband commends me often. The thermometer even works 2 years later. The one thing That seemed to break fairly fast was the electronic ignition, but after a little reading I found out that it worked on a AA battery which is located right behind the igniter and when I replaced it, it works again fine! We are very happy with this grill!! The drip pans are not standard so we had to get the local hardware store to order them. I would buy this grill again and would be happy to review it again in 7 years to see if it still measures up!
