We finally got to use this grill tonight. My husband put it together and did the cooking. He said it was easy to put together which was definitely a plus. Our old grill had a battery operated ignition that would lite the grill. This one has a spark start on each burner. It worked perfect. One thing that was amazing is that it cooked throughout the grill. Our old one had hat and cold spots. It would only cook well in the back and the front was pretty much only good for keeping things warm. This grill cooked perfect front and back which opens up so much more cooking space. Needless to say my husband is happy to have a new toy on our deck.
