Something like a CharBroil from Home Depot will never last more than 10 years. Cover it and maintain it all you want, it'll eventually just rot away. That being said, they're cheap, and if you consider it a throw away item, then it's fine.

I don't know anything about CharBroil...gas grill I imagine. I was talking about charcoal...something like CharGriller from Lowes. I have a small one(the table top with cast iron grates)that's ten years old, and it's in perfect condition. I keep it covered and under a shelter. It will long outlast me
Nexgrill says repair should be easy, don't pay anyone to do it. I will give it a try.
I had a Weber. Good but paint on outside flaked. Gave it away when I moved, I think.
I had a Weber gas grill once. Base started falling apart at the firebox due to use/heat. Lasted 5 years. I'm on year 15 with a Lynx and have only had to replace the burners. Weekends: Weber kettle for coal. I've found Harris Teeter coal briquettes to be decent enough for use.
When I needed some servicing for my Weber grill, someone from Ace Hardware came to my home. The person replaced several parts and the price was reasonable. I don't recall what it was exactly.
This was the Ace at North Ridge Shopping Center.
As an aside, I've been happy with my Weber. Bought it 16 years ago and its still going strong with just the burner replacements needed after many years of use. I don't even keep mine covered.
Did you watch that video? It took 45 minutes for the coals to be ready
Don't get me wrong I love charcoal, but unfortunately I rarely have the time for a 1+ hour cooking experience, plus cleanup.
I had that fear before I bought my Kamado. I can have my grill up to temp in 10-15 minutes. No chimney or anything. Just use cotton balls soaked in 91% alcohol and light in three spots if I am cooking over direct heat and need a 350ish temp. 10-15 minutes is enough time for me to grab a beer and finish prepping what's going on the grill. I can light in one spot and cool a pork shoulder for 15 hours at 225 all night, sear a ribeye over cast iron at 550-600 degrees, or cook a pizza at 900 degrees. All from my $400 vision grill I bought at Sams Club. I will NEVER go back to a gas grill ever.

That guy was clueless and his chimney starter was tiny. I have 3 grills that all have their "purpose". All are webers because....hell because they are the best grills made for the price and they have incredible customer service.
Genesis for weekday night quick grilling after work.
Kettle grill for burgers/dogs when its a slow and relaxed weekend day.
Rocky mountain smoker for pork butt and ribs.
Anyway- proper chimney starter can do an entire kettle worth of charcoal and it will be red hot in 20 mins.
