A few times the name Broilmaster has been brought up (and I confused it with Broil King). I finally did a little reading and see that this is a very interesting grill. Based on Larry Michael's comments, a pretty powerful and well made grill. He is a former owner.
Of note to me is that this grill is actually STILL MADE IN THE USA, in Belleville, IL. Uses cast aluminum firebox and lid and high grade stainless for many parts.
What it has going against it is the "librarian syndrome". Take a stunningly attractive woman and pull her hair back, use clothes that completely hide her figure and make her look as plain as possible and you have the best kept secret who most guys would never notice working in the library. (This is just a cliche and not a slam on librarians!) Anyway, this grill is definitely not one that you would take a second look at. In fact, it looks frighteningly a lot like those old junker gas grills from the 1970's. However, Larry says they are not to be underestimated.
Does anyone else here have experience with them? Is there really a stunner underneath that plane Jane hood?
There is one listed not too far from me that claims a lot of new parts. That actually seems a little odd given their reputation for lasting a lifetime. It is in Boca Raton where there is a lot of money, so perhaps the owner just replaced things rather than clean them. $500 asking price is out of my price range, especially for an experiment, but other than the control panel it certainly looks nice:

What do you guys think of these grills?
