About 4 years ago, I foolishly gave away my old Weber gas grill and purchased the Frigidare GL 30, thinking that it would last forever. At $1200.00 list price and all 304 stainless steel, you would think that this would be a really good grill. From the very beginning, it did not perform nearly as well as my 10 year old Weber and had an internal gas leak that I never could locate and repair. The heating was uneven and trying to cook in any sort of windy conditions was a totally frustrating experience. Then, after 3 1/2 years, it would not ignite and I discovered a large hole in one of the burners. It took me 2 weeks on the internet to track down a replacement burner only to discover that a new part was about $200.00. After some pondering, I decided to repair the grill so I could give it away to a family member. However, I soon discovered that it was impossible to remove the old burner because it was totally fused and corroded in place.
I have now ordered a Weber E-320 from Amazon and the Frigidaire GL-30 has taken a very unhappy place in the local junk yard, where it should have went in the first place.
"I was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."... "Weber is the only grill for me!!"
PS: My old Weber Summit grill is now 14 years old and the only replacement part was a new set of cooking grates about 5 years ago. My nephew refused to give it back to me.

I purchased my grill in Oct of 2006 so imagine my surprise to find the internal parts were corroded to the point of not being able to use the grill. Mind you, the grill has been covered the entire time with the cover for this model from Frigidaire. So, a call is made to Frigidaire to order the replacement parts and lo and behold, they cost more than the grill! Folks, think twice about being a Frigidaire gas grill. I too have heard that good ol' Weber (which is cheaper) is a much more reliable model!
