Burners, grates, valves, igniters and briquette trays wear out. On an imported grill that is often the end of the story, because the model has been discontinued and the part redesigned. On a Fire Magic, you order the part and keep cooking.
That is not a small thing when the grill is built into a masonry island. Replacing a built-in grill means modifying the countertop opening and the access doors, which turns a worn burner into a several-thousand-dollar problem. A genuine factory part turns it into an afternoon.
Made in the USA — Fire Magic has built its grills in Southern California since 1937, at RH Peterson’s plant in City of Industry.
