I own a barbecue store. Weber bought Ducane and is basically using the name on that Chinese made grill. It’s not a true Ducane. Ducanes were great. These are not.

Service is difficult as we can’t get the parts.

Converting the propane units to natural gas is not easy.

The biggest problem with the Chinese grills is that the heat source is too close to the cooking surface. Great high heat, but horrible lows which means loss of control.

The Chinese bank on the fact that people think 3 is bigger than 2.

That means that they put a lot of tiny burners into their grills giving each one a valve and knob. Valves and knobs clog and break.

Think about it hard before investing.

We call them disposable grills.

It sounds like your not upbeat on Ducane – What kind of grill would you recommend for less than $1000?
