I still have my 3 burner stainless Blue Ember I had picked up from the HD pricing error sale for $199 I believe including cover (which I never used) nearly 10 years ago. They tried to cancel the order stating an error in the system. But when I called in and stated that I'd call the quebec consumer protection office and file a formal complaint (since they waited nearly 2 weeks to notify me - and all other sales had passed), they suddenly found some inventory to fulfill my order
We use it year round (sun, rain, snow, ice, etc..). It has held up pretty well. The cast iron grates are still in great shape. The heat deflectors are still holding well, no rust and still fit pretty well.
Only this year I have noticed 2 burners have started to rust on some places and have small splits. I picked up a replacement set of burners, and will be replacing them before winter. I'll probably get another 5 years out of it, before I decide to get a replacement.
Before that, we used to buy crappy fiesta grills, but they never lasted more than 2 or 3 years tops.
Guess for my next grill I'll need to do some homework (Weber, NexGrill, Napolean, Vermont Castings..).
