I purchased my first Vermont Castings NG BBQ from my TOR gas distributor in 2001. A tank: heavy, as many parts were actually cast in those days, and It kept its temperature! It served me well for over 15 years, during which I converted the unit to propane and could obtain parts. What I liked most: a. sturdy brown grill cover (an accessory, today, to be purchased separately, but still sturdy according to the salesman) and an excellent grease recovery system. Today's grease recovery system is even better. The cooking results of any grill entirely depends on the cook. If you care about grease and cleaning, this unit is for you. As Canadian Tires owns the VERMONT CASTINGS trademark in the Class 011 category (barbecues, grills, accessories) and markets its BBQs from coast to coast in Canada, parts should be readily available for many years.
