My wife and I bought this grill for each other for our Christmas present this year. We had a Vermont Casting grill for about 12 years and we thought it would be difficult to replace this old easy to use grill. We are very happy with the grill we purchased and how nice it works. We were used to the old grill and we didn't realize how nice the new features are to use. We use the grill often and it is a pleasure to use and keep clean. We hope we get the same longevity out of our new grill.
I bought this grill a month ago and it had lots of parts but went together great especially by myself and very well built and I did a burn off since it was new and everything worked great ,well worth the price
I was impressed with the packaging of grill components inside the shipping box. There was little chance that parts could be damaged in shipping. The assembly instructions were clear with the hardware packages labeled according to their place in the process. Assembly took 2.5 hours to complete. The cooking has been fabulous. I especially like the sear zone, it does a great job searing steaks.
