Ducane Gas Grills' Benefits
- the rotary ignition system with observation ports so you can see immediately when ignition occurs
- a tank coupling for a gas-tight connection
- some of the models have side-mounted hood handles to prevent scorched fingers when opening the hood, and removable burner control knobs
- the grilling surface (465 square inches) is very usable because the heat system delivers an even heat distribution
- patented La-Va-Grate is a plus
- smaller foods won't slip through the grids, thanks to the fact that there is less open space.
