I had a Char-Broil once. the 2nd season of grilling, I'm cooking some chicken. I look out my kitchen window and see this black smoke; with sut etc.
I go outside and the control knobs are on fire.
.
bought a weber and it lasted 10yrs until i gave it to my nephew for his new house. I also have a Weber kettle that i bought in 2004 and still use it all the time. only thing I had to replace was the grate last year.
