I gave up on propane grills a long time ago. I had gotten what looked like a good one, a Great Outdoors model. Heavy cast aluminum body, base and side tables. The burner was bronze so I thought it would last and it did for a faily long time and then the gas orfices started corroding and cloogging. I took it apart and drilled them all out and got a few more years, then same thing, The push button starter had given out , got a new one and it lasted a few years. Finally about 15 years ago I gave up and got a Big Green egg. Not nearly as quick or convenient. I got a bunch of accessory pieces for it and even an external smoke unit. I can actuall cold smoke cheese on it . I don't think I will ever go back to propane.
