Decided to buy the boss a Gas/charcoal combo grill for her birthday. I wanted all grates to be porcelain coated. It had to be able to adjust the height of charcoal. Found a Char Broil grill at Menards that fits the bill.
Then I discovered, unlike my old gas grill, no new gas grills that I looked at locally have lava rock. Directly over the burner is a metal roof that blocks the heat. Between burners it burns everything. No added smoke flavor either. Could have gotten the same results in an oven.
I modified the grate that held the lava rock on old grill and now the new gas grill works as it should.
BTW, the rock makes a world of difference and the Father's day cookout was a success.
So why are the new gas grills missing the lava rock?
