I find it hard to believe that I have been using this same little gas grill for over a dozen years. For what little I invested in this in the first place this has been one of the best values I have ever purchased.  This year I did notice some rust on the flavor bar, so I may be in the market for a new grill within the next couple of years.  I was surprised to find out that these are still available, I have not seen them in any store for years. It seems that storing mine in the shed when not using it has prolonged its life, call me crazy but I just can't see leaving a grill out in the weather year round then wonder why it would rust. The only real down side I have had with this grill is that it will go out in windy conditions and it does cook hotter at the end away from the tank, however given the number years I have owned it and the amount of use it has given me I really can't complain. I don't know whether I will replace this with the same style or try one of the Q's when it finally bites the bullet in a year or two. The Q looks promising, but it does cost quite a bit more, one thing is for sure, I will always have fond memories of this hardy little grill, and will almost certainly buy another small Weber of some sort.
