May be interesting if we post the Make, model, age and use frequency
just for comparison. A cheaper grill that you have to rebuild/replace
frequently may actually cost more in the long run

My Bakers & Chefs propane grill that I bought 8+ years ago at Sam's is
just now showing some age. The manufacturer is Grand Hall
www.grandhall.com who make branded grills for numerous other companies.

It has very heavy cast iron burners and enamalized cast iron grill
plates. I kept most parts seasoned with Crisco each year after a good
cleaning so they have held up remakably well.

The heat plates and grease trap unde the grill are just now
deteriorating. Those are the only parts I need to replace. I'm probably
looking at less than $200 plus shipping so I'm probably going to do so. I
figure I'll get at least another 5 years if not more from it and I use it
year round. I do wish it had a side burnign but I wasn't sure I'd want
one when I bought it, but it does have a great rotissere burner and motor
that has seen plenty of use.

I think they still make the Sam's Members Mark brand and I'd have to give
the high marks. This has been the best gas grill I've ever owned.
