I am just about 78 yesrs old. I have owned many gas grills over the years and by far this is the nicest one to date. It gets hotter very quickly than any other, and no hot spots. It cooks very evenly. I like the nice wire cast iron grates and they ckean up easily.  I got it about a week after Memorial Day and i used it about 8 times and i think it is great.
