They rust out unless you keep them inside and if you do it takes up precious garage space.
I bought one years ago and it only lasted a few seasons before it rusted out. Fire and steel cause oxydation. Of course I disposed of it when it wore out.
About a week or two after the grill got hauled off by the scrap guy I was driving through a neighborhood and saw a gas grille in a front yard with a sign that said, "Free. Still works" on it.
I snagged it and took it home and it lasted me three years.
When it died it was in mid spring and lo and behold I found another one that worked that the owner was trying to get rid of.
This became my cycle. When early to mid spring came around I simply kept my eyes open and managed to keep myself in decent working grilles ever since.
There's a new one in the grille spot and the old one is on the curb awaiting one of the friendly local neighborhood scrappers to cart it off.
Why bother buying new when used is so cheap.
