i have owned propane grills for 25 years. this works better and gets hotter than any other gas bar bq i have owned. does steaks with a crisp outside and still rare inside. the burner holes on both sides of each burner are the trick. like the original weber, who ruined their product when they changed. it's well made and the reversible grills work better than any cast grills i have used. the drip tray is a pain to remove and clean, and it fills with water in the rain, but that is the only thing i would change.
