Ducane gas grills

I am looking at purchsing a Ducane gas grill, they are owned by Weber and are a bit cheaper but still good quality. Has anybody purchased one of these and likes it? Im looking at a 3/4 burner size. Many thanks.

Ducane is not what it once was...as far as I know, DuCane is only a badge for some Chinese made grills that Weber now owns. I honestly can't say whether they are good or bad, but they are not the American made tanks of prior years.

About 2 years ago someone on ebay in the Chicago area was closing out some old USA-made stainless Ducanes and I bought one. Even with the $$ shipping I spent less than half of what they typically sold for. I use it 2-4 times per week year round and it has been great.

Thanks for the reply Bob.

I bought a Ducane nearly 20 years ago at a Fun In Motion store's winter closeout for $300. It was the first rotissere I had, and I liked it very much. I replaced all the innards once after about 12 years, and when these began to give out I shopped- and the same model was $800.

I did some extensive shopping and found a Grand Hall (Chinese) model at Sam's for $600. It has 3 17,000BTU burners, a side burner, and an infra-red rotiss burner, and the case is all stainless steel. OSTCO has pretty much the same thing, for about the same price. I have been more than satisfied for the last six years.
