Perfect Flame 4-Burner 2-Lid Model GAC3615

Tuesday August 12, 2008
Last Month I told you about the Perfect Flame GAC3615 Recall. The official recall lists select unit of this grill depending on their production date. Lucas Innovation maintains that the design of the grill was good, but that some, units were manufactured with bad materials. Now Emily Sinovic of Fox 23 in Tulsa who has been the driving force behind this story reports that Consumer Reports is investigating other models of the Perfect Flame Grills for similar problems. Emily has been reporting fires connected with Perfect Flame grills not affected by the recall.

In addition, Lowes has pulled all of the model GAC3615 Perfect Flame grills even though not all units have been recalled. One Lowes store manager says this is a precaution and that Lowes is waiting to see if all the Perfect Flame 4-Burner 2-Lid Grills end up being recalled. This is one recall that might be a work in progress.

I WISH MINE WOULD CATCH FIRE !! What a piece of overpriced junk ! What’s so bad ? Let’s see:
1. Never gets hotter than 400 degrees. Can’t even make a piece of meat sizzle !
2. Never gets lower than 400 degrees (the temp is always the same no matter what setting)
3. The rotiss does not fit and won’t turn without hitting something
4. grease fills the draw
5. fills with water every time it rains
6. burners turn off suddenly
7. rusted out even thought I clean it every use, waxed all the metal and keep it covered.

I bought a Meco electric grill and it out cooks this piece of crap ten times over. Gets 200 degrees hotter than the “Perfect” Flame !i put it on Craig’s list for free and nobody would take it.
