Porcelain cast iron cooking grids are designed to retain heat for improved grilling or cooking results. Moreover, some Fiesta gas gills have an integrated condiment basket and large weather-resistant side shelves. As for warranty conditions, these are: five years on stainless steel burner system, two years on all other grill components.
