Ducane Affinity 3200

It's hard to get a full function grill (this one includes the rotisserie kit) for under $400USD that is durable and can actually cook. To do this, Weber shipped production of its Ducane grills to China and completely redesigned this grill. The only thing that hasn't changed is the great Weber support. This is a basic three burner grill without side burner. You get good cooking abilities and durable construction. So, for around $450USD you can get grill that will last you many years (I'd still get the cover though). If you want a basic unit this is a perfect grill for you.

Pros

Cons

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 3200 is a basic grill with a standard side burner. If you want a basic grill then this is a good unit for you to look at. While a little thin on materials this is a good grill for around $350USD.

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.
