Anyone that is hesitating needs to go ahead and get it.  If you are into grilling this grill does an excellent job. When the one I have wears out I will get another, but I don't expect that to be anytime soon and I grill several times a week. The only part I've had to replace on it was the coal grate and that was just this past spring after 5 years. The meals I have cooked on this grill have to number in the 500+ range.
