I've had one for so long, I can't remember when I got it. Converted it to use a 5 Lb. tank and it came in handy when we needed a quick 'dog or sausage. Kids were in junior high and went for hot lunch and they were serving 'hot dogs' Boiled not grilled. The youngest one argued with the cooks that 'those weren't hot dogs, there isn't any char on them!'. Much easier to fire the gas than charcoal for a few dogs. Gone through three flavorizer plates, two ignitors, and two grills. Quality was so good, though, that it made me reconsider gas grills and now have a 3 burner stainless weber in back. Biggest problem was they wouldn't light below -45 degrees so I moved to Alabama! (not really why I moved, but they don't light below -45 where charcoal will). They are the best small gas grill I have used or seen being used. Love the one touch more though. Hasn't been used since the move, and this post made me pull it out and fire it up just to see it burn again. I prefer it to the smokey joe for small quick jobs, but instead of cooking small loads, I load up the big grills so there are left-overs for lunch.
