The burners on this grill light very easily and the heat distribution is very even on the cooking grate with no hot or cold spots. This is my first grill to own with a seer burner and I think it is fantastic. Components are easy to clean which should increase their functional  longevity. This grill is solid and well built. My previous grill of 15 years had swivel wheels which made it super easy to move around and that spoiled me. I only wish this grill had swivel wheels, otherwise it would be perfect.
