If you thought rain could ruin a cook out, try having the grill melt. That's sure a downer when you're ready for some grilled food.
My brother knows that I'm big on outdoor cooking, so he sent me the melting grill story as reported by WRAL out of Raleigh, NC.
The basics here are that Consumer Reports was testing out grills as they often do. The Broil King Signet 90 started to melt - the fire box just started dripping down. This was such an odd thing to happen with a grill that they tested some others. Same results. The metal melts down.
Broil King has now issued a safety recall. If you bought this drippy grill, you can get a free baffle kit and fix your grill.
This is a $650 gas grill. I would not be happy with a fix kit. I'd want my money back. I can't even imagine something designed to be used as a grill melting when hot. That's just WRONG. Someone really ought to try these out before selling them to the public.
