This is my second Broil King. The first one I owned was a Sovereign purchased back in 1999. It was used an average of 2-3 times all year long. Even during the cold Canadian winters. I only changed the burners twice in 16 years. The fact that my first Broil King was so well built and lasted so long convinced me that there is no better BBQ for the consumer. Had it not been damaged during a cross country move, I am convinced I would have gotten 20 years out of it. However I really do love my new Signet and I'm looking forward to another 16+ years. It truly is an awesome Grill.
