Old Thermador Bit the Dust
« Reply #-1 on: July 19, 2021, 06:45:07 AM »
Last week my trusty 22 year old Thermador gas grill made it's first trip off of my deck. May she rest in peace.

After many hours of research I replaced her with the Napoleon Prestige 500 with the side burner "Sizzle Zone" infrared burner and the rear rotisserie infrared burner. I had to cut a little off of my GrillGrates to make them fit, but now I am ready to rock and roll! Can't wait to sear my first steak!

That appears to be a superb grill.  Great choice.

I keep my grills covered and well maintained. The Thermador still looked like new on the outside. Now the inside was a different story. Most parts were rusted and or missing. LOL

And yes, I definitely got my moneys worth!

Thanks! The backyard is my summer vacation spot. I find it very relaxing out there. Especially when grilling!
