My mother-in-law had a TEC Sterling NG grill on her deck that she inherited from the previous owner of the house. I really hated it compared to my Genesis 1000. It really only had two temps, too hot and incinerate your food hot. It was well constructed and was in great shape but was terrible at cooking food. I could make it work but it took constant vigilance on my part to keep it from ruining whatever I was cooking. It just wasn't a good grill. Good for you if you have been able to master those things because I think they are terrible, overpriced junk.
