If I were to do it again, I'd buy the Weber Genesis Silver with SS grates.
As it was, about three years ago I wanted a 100% SS grill, and found a
Charmglow that fit the bill nicely for much less $$. It does an OK job, and
of course hasn't rusted anywhere. It's all pitted and dirty now, even though
I always keep a cover on it, but it works fine, and the grates are pretty
heavy.
