As many of you, I have been drooling over this grill for over a year. Your postings have confirmed my thoughts and I have already received financial approval. I will be getting this grill within the next 2 weeks. The question I have, and also saw that someone else asked but have not seen a response, has anyone done a "permanent" or "semi-permanent" installation with an LP heated house? My house is only a year old and is heated by LP. We have a 1000 gallon tank buried in the yard. All of the discussions of plumbing type and size encourage me to offer some detail as to our setup. There is a regulator on the side of the house that drops the pressure to 2 PSI. Inside there is a regulator attached to a manafold that provides individual taps for every appliance (2 furnaces, water heater, stove, dryer, and a dedicated run to the deck for a "future grill") All of this is done with a somewhat flexible 1/2" yellow (I guess vinyl) coated copper. That main regulator is supposed to be able to support all of the appliances and maintain the 14" of pressure. Outside is a stub of 1/2" black pipe to which I need to connect. My plan is a temporary connection (soft hose) upon purchase and a permanent one when I can build this unit in. I agree with the concerns of leaks and will obviously put a shut-off valve before any soft hose. I saw mention of a hose kit from HD for $35. This is listed as an NG hose but at roughly 1/2 PSI I assume it will work for LP? Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. Thanks, Lee

I think I found the message talking about this. Mine didn't come out of the oven shiney as they first were. Of course they were only shiney the first day prior to use. ha ha But they were clean. Afterwards I made my first grilled pizza with homemade dough. Oiled the grates and dough and it didn't stick at all. Here is a link that might be useful: oven clean grids

I just purchased this grill because Sam's dropped the price to under $700 for their end of the season. You had better have PLENTY of STRONG people to help you get it to where you want it. It weighs over 400 lbs in the crate. VERY well packed. It doesn't require hardly any assembly though. My original Members Mark has given me years of service since I purchased it 5 years ago. I fired the new one up and the temp climbed to 600 really fast. I haven't tried the oven or the sear burner yet. It looks really cool with the blue panel lights on at night. Anyway, I hope this gives me the service my other on did.... BTW I sold my old one to the guy who helped unload it for $150. Makes for a great deal now.

After about 2 or 3 years, I discovered that I needed to change the batteries for the Tank Gauge Display (which I figured out how to do but had to use pliers to bend part of the metal to get it back in). The manual tells how to put it together, but nothing about how to change the batteries or the direction to put the battery in for the Ignitor (which does not work). It is usually a good grill, but it seems to be falling apart and the manual does NOTHING to help. As usual, the manual that comes with a product made in Asia (Taiwan to be exact) is horrible (incomplete, no index, etc...). Sorry for the griping, I was just hoping to save someone else the same aggrivation
