In Reply to: My wife used oven cleaner on our Char-Broil stainless grill... posted by Rod M on August 24, 2015 at 17:30:30:
Yes unfortunately 99% of gas grills are crap nowadays.
1-2 years with a "stainless burner" is all you can expect.
They are playing fast and loose with the term stainless on these burners.
Around these parts, the only decent brand is Napoleon, save a few Weber models.
The operating name for Napoleon is Wolf Steel. If you are familiar with their kitchen equipment, you get an idea of the quality of BBQ.
A friend of mine had one at his house hardlined into the natural gas.
That thing sat outside year round for probably 15 years before they moved out, never missed a beat.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was still there being used.
I think the burners were cast-iron, but don't quote me on that.
Now it was probably over $2K new, but when spread out over time it is cheaper then geting a new one from the box store every 5 years and replacing burners every year or two.
Not to mention it functioned like a commercial unit that could evenly cook meat right at the very edge of the grill.
