Ducane Affinity 3100 propane version arrived today. All parts were in one box .. from Amazon.com I bought this grill after several hours of research because the brand Ducane is owned by Webber. I read that the components are very dependable, which was the highest priority on my list. from Amazon.com I got this grill and thing is just falling apart. Will not light, and cooks uneven. I called company up and they told me that the real Ducane went out of business and they are not going to take any warranty claims. They took there name to fool all of us to think Ducane was still making there grills. from Amazon.com When it came (by the way, it's shipping weight is 158 lbs and not the 20 lbs in the description), the delivery person very nicely helped me bring it up to my second floor, despite his only needing to drop it off at my front door. The difference between assembling this grill and the Charbroil is like night and day. The parts on the Ducane are quality parts. The gas controls are refined and made of brass. from Amazon.com However I could not locate the knobs for the grill (dials) or the handle for the door. I re-checked every box, maybe it was there and the kids conveniently "relocated" it or it was missing in the first place (which I believe). I called Ducane, a few questions later they shipped out what was supposed to be 3 knobs and 1 handle, only got 1 knob. Tried again, only one knob. from Amazon.com Couldn't pass up Orchard Supply this last weekend. They had Ducane 3100 for $230, AND they paid the sales tax! They had one already assembled for sale but it wouldn't fit in my cars, so i went with box. from Amazon.com The free shipping was not a great bargain. It took forever to arrive. The grill arrived with a crack in the lid which Ducane/Weber quickly replaced. Assembly was easy. from Amazon.com I did have a limited budget (< $400) to begin with, thus I scouted around my local stores like Wal-Mart, Target, HDepot and Sears. Having seen many of the grills, I knew I wanted #1: A quality grill, #2:'small' size grill (just to feed a family of 3), #3: Fit my budget for price to quality ratio. I narrowed down to 2 grills the Weber E310 or the Ducane 3100. I saw the Weber E310 in HDepot and it was quite lacking in features in comparison with the Ducane. from Amazon.com After comparison shopping the big box stores, Amazon and several local hardware stores, I found the Ducane Affinity to be the best grill for the price. I found Weber grills to be overpriced for inferior materials. from Amazon.com I was looking for a grill to replace my aging grill from Home Depot. After checking the Consumer Reports web site and reviews on Amazon for several other grills, I settled on the Affinity 3100. I did not need a fancy or large grill, nor did I need an external burner (see other Ducane versions if you need these features). from Amazon.com
