I had a Kenmore grille for about 7 years. Theyt just don't make them with the same quality as they did just a short time ago.
I now have a CharBroil and love the thing! I can replace all 5 burners for about $80.00.
The ingition runners cost less than $20 for all 4.
The bottom line is......I can replace all the guts (not including the grates for under $200 and essentially have a rebuilt grill.
The cast iron grates run $36 each so I can rebuild the whole thing for right around $300. Original price on the grill is $785.00 so if I rebuild it twice I can milk plenty of time out of it and then replace it instead of a 3rd rebuild unless the body is still in real good shape at which point I'd redo it again.
Check out what they have at Lowes and Home Depot. Don't shy away from Perfect Flame or Brinkman either. DON'T listen to the sales pitch for Weber......they're over priced, over rated and have problems with vapor lock.
