I bought this BBQ in 2008 and it is still going strong.  I have replaced the bottom grill, top grill and just now (2018) replaced the ignition system.  Have kept it clean and it has run strong now for 10 years.
It is the perfect combination of gas ignition and charcoal grilling.  Could not be more pleased.  The Charcoal bucket and built in table make this the ultimate charcoal grill.
