My dad had one and I was so impressed that 42 years ago I bought one for us. I have had to rebuild the charcoal grate and the ash pan, but after 42 years a little work on it could be expected. This year I cleaned it all up and sprayed some high temp black on it and it looks like brand new. I don't think you could get better quality out of any other on the market, and I'm positive the others wouldn't last as long. I'm a Char-Broil fan for life!
