Has lived on our deck since then and used virtually every night for cooking meat and twice a day in weekend, rain hail or shine.
My wife prefers to use it rather than cooking meat on the oven inside if at all possible even in the winter.
Had one complete set of replacement burners and a new gas supply hose which from memory was about $200
Seems like a bargain now!
Prefer gas as we use it every night so ready to use in 10mins rather than faffing around with charcoal etc.

Problem is now 4 Seasons has gone bust eariler this year we can no longer get replacement bits.

The burners whether cast or shitty stainless tubes are normally available as standard items. I can still get the cast burners for my Kent which is over 20 years old. They’re just a standardised item across a lot of brands.
