Guide Review - Ducane Affinity 3400 Gas Grill
This model has been discontinued. It is replaced by the Ducane Affinity 3100 Black.In order to stay competitive in a quickly changing industry Weber has moved production of its entire Ducane line of grills to China (and some of the Weber line too). This means a complete redesign of the Ducane grills and with it be get the Affinity line. These grills are at the bottom end of the line, but still include an impressive list of features for a good price. Consider it the value line gas grills.
The Affinity 3400 is a complete grill that includes a full rotisserie system, side burner, smoker box and triple main burner design. While a little thin on materials this is a good grill for around $400USD. The rear mounted rotisserie burner isn't infrared but the design lets this standard burner do everything infrared would have done.
You will still get full support from Weber for this grill and my understand is that parts and accessories for these units were ready to ship before the grills were. The warranty is good, so hang on to your paperwork. Despite support and warranties though, I would strongly recommend the cover for this unit.
This line of Ducane grills is available through Ace Hardware stores and of outlets. See Ducane's website to find a dealer near you.
