Like almost all the other reviewers, my grates are rusting out and the metal is flaking off.  I purchased this grill to replace a 15 year old Weber grill that never had an issue with the grates.  I purchased the Broil King mainly because it was still manufactured in North America and expected it to be of high quality because of that.  Unfortunate this seems to be a pretty common problem that Broil King keeps neglecting to remedy.
