Stainless steel burners also break down... albeit much more slowly than cast
iron. I live in a very humid place and my ci burners only lasted 2 years
before they started flaking away. I bought a new all stainless grill .
Everything in the grill looks new except the burners . After 3 years they
started burning unevenly. I took the burners out and reamed them out and
they are working fine now.
I would never buy another grill wit ci anything.
