Kenmore 4-Burner LP Mocha Gas Grill w/ Searing Burner

This grill has handled everything we've thrown at it perfectly. The searing burner makes a big difference in flavor and juciness. Very very easy to ignite. It went together fairly quickly. It looks sharp and coordinates with our deck furniture and exterior paint beautifully. I appreciate the thick doors...most models at this price had only one thin sheet of steel which I could have folded with my hand. These are sturdy-double thick doors seen on higher end models in the $500-600 range

In regards to the rust on the cast iron grates. Well if you cook with cast iron pans you know that they will rust in a matter of hours if left wet, dirty, and un-oiled. So I have been treating my grates just like I do my pans...clean immediately while still hot, without water and defintiely without soap (soap is the enemy of iron!) Oil before and after use. The best way to do this: Cut an onion in half, stick it on the end of your meat fork, dip the cut side in vegetable oil and run it over the hot grates. It cleans, seasons, and oils all in one step, and the seasoning will get better with every use. I would never sacrifice the flavor and heat retention of iron for the slick looks and easy cleanup of steel.

Bought this to replace a 15 yr old Weber gas grill. Quality of components is good. Instructions are not very well written, and illustrations are difficult to see in order to determine which washer, etc. goes with which bolt. It took much longer than I thought to put this together.
