ducane bbq grill model affinity gas bbq grill replacement partsIt was in the mid 70s that The Ducane Company entered the market with its gas bbq grills since the company was previously into manufacturing hot air furnaces. The company was established in 1946 as Ducane Brothers Metal Fabricating and later changed its name to The Ducane Company.
ducane gas grill replacement barbecue burnerThe company’s gas bbq grills soon caught the fancy of the American public as well as rival company Weber-Stephen Products Co. that took over Ducane in 2004. By that time Ducane was in trouble and owed its creditors around 16 million dollars. Even though Weber-Stephen took over the company it did not restart operations in South Carolina but instead closed down that plant and shifted production overseas to China from where Ducane is imported into the USA. Weber-Stephen also decided to dishonor the lifetime warranty offered by Ducane on its products and this caused hardships to many existing customers that required replacement parts after many years of using Ducane products.
Currently, there are several gas bbq grill models offered by Ducane. The Ducane Affinity 3100 is a 3 burner gas bbq grill. This grill has an electronic ignition and built in hood thermometer to ensure safe and precise cooking. If you want a slightly larger model then you can opt for the Affinity 4100 – 4 burner model. You can cook over a larger 526 sq. inch area while utilizing the 167 sq. inch warming rack to keep cooked and grilled food warm.
ducane bbq grill replacement burner for new ducane models including affinityThe earlier Affinity 3200 model with the side burner is now discontinued. However, Ducane bbq grill replacement parts are available. Replacement grill parts are available for earlier grills discontinued by Weber like the Ducane Meridian 5 burner model. Most of the “new” Ducane grills use the same gas burners and heat shields but cooking grates, ignition kits and structural parts are also available.
Ducane gas barbeque grill parts for the original barbecues made by the Ducane family are no longer made by either Ducane or the new Weber Ducane. However the Ducane gas grill replacement parts for the original models and the models created since Weber bought the company are available and are often better quality then the original grill parts.
Although Ducane has seen tough times, their current models of gas bbq grills offer excellent value for money. The Ducane family were industry giants even before they began making barbecues. The Ducane burner design, wide, convex cooking grate, ignition and rotisserie burner design were all leading innovations in the backyard design grilling industry. The decision to purchase the company was certainly based on the high standard reputation that lent equity to the Ducane name and brand. While the current barbecues that bear their name are not the level of quality established by the original BBQ grills, the current 3100 or 4100 series models are inexpensive and the legendary Weber warranty, although shortened for the Ducane barbecues does still apply.
