And I grill year round here in WI. I'm on my 3rd or 4th propane grill in
about 10 years or so, and have about 4 20# bottles of propane on standby.

You're going too cheap on your propane grills if they only are lasting 3
years on average.

My parents got a cheap Charbroil or similiar that lasted 4 or 5 years
before it rusted apart. They bought a $400 Ducane with lifetime warranty
and they've had it at least 10 years with no problems and no warranty
replacements.
