Jenn Air Outdoor Gas Grill Review

Whenever I write a review of any barbecue equipment I like to be objective, focus in on the positives and try and give some steer as to what sort of person should buy one. Having listened to what others have said about Jenn Air grills, I have to say that I am struggling. Albeit we have had some positive stuff written.

I've also picked up that we shouldn't confuse the indoor appliances made by Jenn Air as these generally seem to get good reviews, it's simply the outdoor grill. Here's what I've picked up from all the folks who've written to me so far:-

1. They are not made by Jenn Air - they are made by Nexgrill in China
2. Marketed by Lowe's hardware and Costco, after sales service is at best poor, at worst, non-existent.
3. The most common complaint is rusty burners
4. Once rusty, they don't give out enough heat

There's more and you can read some individual grill reviews below and having read all of them it would appear that the main problem rests with the burners. A bargain price might attract you to a grill that doesn't have stainless steel burners and it would seem that this is a false economy.

Certainly, when new, they perform admirably, prices are competitive and you'll see other Jenn Air outdoor gas grill revues elsewhere on the internet that will corroborate this statement but it would appear that problems only start a couple of years in and no regular reviewer of BBQ grills is going to keep one that long.

Certainly if I owned one, the first thing I would do is buy a grill cover to protect it from the elements.
