How long do you expect your Gas Grill last?
Wednesday September 24, 2008
I was over at a friends shop the other day looking around the back room. He runs a fireplace and grill shop and was working on restoring an ancient Charmglow gas grill. This shiny silver unit is several decades old and needs a bit of a clean up before it will grill up any steaks. These days it seems like people are constantly writing me for recommendations on a new gas grill to replace the one they bought a year or two ago. Of course most gas grills being sold these days are built to look good, but not to last. This would imply that there are a lot of disappointed people out there, frustrated by their gas grills. Either that or expectations are very low. Anyway, this leads me to this weeks question:
POLL: How long do you expect your gas grill last?
1) Too Soon to Tell
2) 1 to 2 years
3) 3 to 4 years
4) 5 to 7 years
5) 8 to 10 years
6) More than 10 years
7) Forever

I have a Charbroil Commercial Series that I bought from Lowes in 2004. Has the brass burners (3) which I replaced, and the burner bar. It is a stainless steel hood, then stainless front doors. The rest is heavy duty painted steel. Keep the cover on half the time, but there is virtually no rust anywhere. This one should last 10 years..
