Not sure if this is important to you Tom, but the next grill I buy will be 100% stainless steel. With the rain, snow and humidity we get around here, grills are either disposable, or you suck it up and get one that will last. Every grill I've got so far has lasted about three years, then whatever component is not SS rusts. It's hard to find a grill that doesn't have some component or panel that isn't just painted sheet metal. I stumbled onto one that was all SS but didn't have the cash to buy it at that moment. I think it might have Kitchen Aid, surprisingly enough. At any rate, if that's important to you, make sure you look them over closely. They may say they are all SS, but they rarely are.
