A recent blog was very blunt about a grill offered by a major chain.  In our estimation, this opinion is the issue with virtually all of the lower-priced stainless steel grills offered by the home centers and major chains

 This is another big shiny gas grill sitting on the showroom floor at your local S****. With lots of grilling space, infrared side burner and rotisserie burner it is a full feature gas grill, but like so many in this price range (lists at around $1,200USD but sale prices go as low as $1,000USD) it is made from thin stainless steel with limited construction quality. While this unit will most likely grill like a dream when you first get it home, the problems will set in quickly. Built by G**** H*** (in China) for S**** this low quality gas grill is designed for one thing, getting you to open your wallet.

 Pros

• Complete stainless steel construction
• Large cooking space
• Full function grill

Cons

• Lower quality materials and construction
• External infrared sear burner is exposed to the elements
• Limited life expectancy
