If you are an avid griller and is looking to purchase a new grill with lots of useful features, then the Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill just may be perfect for you. Why spend so much more for a grill that can get the same job done for you?

Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill Specifications:

550 sq. in. total cooking area (418 sq. in. primary cooking, 132 sq. in. warming rack area)
3 stainless steel burners rated at 36,000 BTU’s
12,000 BTU input flush-mounted side burner with stainless steel lid
1/4″ diameter stainless steel wire cooking grates
Porcelain-enamelled heat distribution plates
Electronic Ignition
Lid Thermometer

The Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grilll features an enclosed cart with doors made out of stainless-steel. Grills are also constructed with stainless steel lid insert, as well as stainless steel lid handle, lid thermometer; and cast aluminium end caps. Now these features make it sound like its built tough, and as much as I’ve been grilling with it, it still looks fairly new.

When I first took the grill out of the package, I was a little worried about assembling it. I thought the more uses and features the grill has, the more complicated it will be to assemble since there are more parts to worry about. The last grill I had before this, which was quite similar, actually took me more than 2 hours to put together. I was getting so frustrated I even thought about taking a shovel and beating the grill with it.

I probably would have done it if I didn’t pay so much money for it. It was useful for a long time, but since the day I assembled it still haunted me. This is why I thought I was going to go through the same thing, but surprisingly, only took a little over an hour. That might still sound like it took a while, but it was such a relief for me that I found a grill that didn’t give me a hard time for assembly.

I use my Ducane 30731201 Gas Grill at least 3 times a week, especially on the weekends. The 3 stainless steel burner’s works great and can easily cook just about anything I throw at it. The cooking area that measures 418 square inches that is just perfect, and the heat is very evenly distributed throughout the whole area. On top of that, the additional 132 square inches of warming rack is also very useful. There is no need to leave food on the grill just to keep it warm and end up getting burnt or over cooked.

The additional features of the Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grilll also includes stainless steel stamped warming rack, porcelain-enamelled heat distribution plates, textured painted right hand side table, textured painted left hand side table with side burner, and a steel control panel.

Worry no more because with Ducane Affinity 3100 (LP) Propane Grill all you have to do is enjoy cooking the food and eating them as well.

Ducane Affinity 3100 (LP) Propane Grill is powered with 36,000 BTUs for its 3 stainless steel burners to help you cook large quantities of food a lot faster but with best results. With its 418 square inch main cooking area and 132 square inch warming rack, you get to have 550 square inches of total cooking area. This grill is spacious and wide enough to meet your cooking space needs for large parties and gatherings.

You get to cook more conveniently with its electronic ignition and monitor the appropriate heat temperature for various recipes with its lid thermometer. Though this grill may seem to be huge and heavy, moving it from one place to another is just so easy with its heavy duty casters. You also wouldn’t have to worry making this grill look good at all times because cleaning is effortless as possible with its steel wire cooking grates.

One very satisfied customer quotes that…

“I shopped for a Webber for several weeks and determined that the Ducane had more features and higher quality than Webbers costing $100 more. I considered some HomeDepot brand grills , but the numerous recalls steered me away from their charm glow series. Upon close inspection, they have really low quality construction. This grill actually has a large grilling surface. Cooking for my family, I only use half of it. It has stainless steel grates which are really nice and easy to keep clean.”

However, there was one customer who had noticed some particular downsides with the Ducane Affinity 3100 (LP) Propane Grill. He said that “Set up took longer than expected (several hours), though instructions were adequate to assemble it. The only disappointing point came when I realized that the grill does not have a rear panel to completely enclose the lower portion of the grill. This is important for me since squirrels have attacked and damaged my last grill twice by gnawing on the gas hose and the wooden side tables.

When I first used the grill, I noticed that the side tables captured the heat from the grill and became very hot. Accordingly, I would not recommend placing anything that might melt on the side tables.

But all in all, Ducane Affinity 3100 (LP) Propane Grill is a great grill. You will be very satisfied with its construction, controls, grilling results, and cooking design.
