Three Christmases ago, my two daughters and their husbands went to Sams and bought me this semi-monster gasser with 5 burners, side burner/pannini press, infrared rotisserie burner, built-in lights etc. I went out to clean it up last weekend and found the bottom rusted out of it so there was nothing between the brass burners and the propane bottle. I dug out the instruction book and started looking for replacement parts. The bottom piece isn't listed separately, so I would have to order the entire grill enclosure and figure out how to unweld the thing from the cart to change it. This grill has been a nice piece of equipment and I have had it up to 650 on the built-in thermo to sear steaks. I hate to trash it, but the parts to put it back together are going to run about $600 and more work than it's worth. I'm thinking of recycling the metal and buying a cheap Weber gasser since I don't use it for mush except steaks, burgers & chicken breasts. I am getting sick of throwing these units out every 4 years. How do the rest of the Brethren handle this problem? Thanks for the input.
