Quality built in

On Friday, I bought a new gas grill to replace our aging and potentially dangerous grill (it had rusted parts and replacing the pieces would be more costly and time consuming to fix). I went to Home Depot and bought the cheapest one I could find as I eventually want to install a permanent grill in our backyard. I bought the cheap Brinkmann and it seems to work fine. The electronic ignition seems to work fine. I noticed this part hanging from the grill and thought that maybe it was to somehow light the grill when the ignition stopped working. Well, I was right; it is a match holder. 600-6000-0-L.jpg Wow, building in a backup when, not if, the electronic ignition fails. That's pretty funny. OK, I know that electronic ignitions fail (the one on our last grill failed years ago), but this just made me laugh.

I believe it's a standard Brinkmann thing - our Charmglow (a Brinkmann company) came with the match holder, and so did the replacement igniter I bought a few months back. Our grill took 8 years for the igniter to fail , so hopefully your's doesn't break down too quick.

PS - the slashes are added by WP after a captcha fail - odd.
