Why my next grill won't be a Char-broil.

Purchased a Stainless Steel commercial series model 463240904 for $499 + tax expecting it to last me many years due to the Stainless Steel only to find out much of it isn't actually Stainless Steel causing corrosion where the mixed metals meet, and now much of it is rusting away and it is no longer really serviceable after just a few years.

The problem is the grill is actually a mix of stainless steel and other metals, apparently Char-broil didn't know / care what happens when you bring disparate metals together - electrolysis.

Just a few highlights of the issues:

The cooking grate that was suppose to be Stainless Steel tuned out to be very thin tubing with a different metal inside corroding from the inside splitting open the Stainless Steel tubes like bananas (not they no longer offer a Stainless Steel cooking grate and instead offer porcelain).

The holder for the igniter complete rusted and fell away.

The carry over tubes rusted away and fell off (no longer available).

The magnets that hold the doors closed are rusting and leave rust stains on the Stainless Steel body.

Please keep in mind that the grill has always been stored inside a closed garage with a cover on it.

Save your money.
