I bought this grill as my father day gift.  First I like this gril and they way it cooks.  My neighbor said there are no hot spots. They are all hot.  And they are.  Grill burns very hot and cooks well.  Finally have a grill that I can turn burner down.  Second well constructed and solid. It looks and feels like it was built to last.  My only complaint and reason for a 4 rating is for the high price, it did not have a side burner.  I did not use the side burner much on last grill, but it's nice on hot humid days not to steam the house up making corn.
