I've owned just about every grill there is on the mass market. If you're tiresome of spending upwards of $1000.00 on a grill every two years and throwing it out, keep reading. I came upon a CV during a retreat in 2004.
Wow, was all the inner voice kept repeating as I examined the gauge of stainless, spot welds, corner wraps, alignments. The metal work and fabrication were just spot on. Design simplicity / functionality shouts
well engineered . Just didn't know what it cost - that was the other WOW, later on this point. So here we are in 2004 and found a Florida restaurant supply company representing CV. They possessed a
CV 60 mobile grill with the two roll domes and for an additional $350.00 for shipping, and it can be there next week. Had to man up and with a cup of water, walked around the block contemplating how to tell the
warden (wife) that we bought a grill that has a comma involved. Here we are 17 years later Same Grill!

This unit sits out uncovered 24/7/365 and is utilized most every summer night and 3-4 nights a week during the winter. In 17 years of ownership and at our level of use, every 5 years expect to replace the radiants,
grill tubes, lighter tubes - that s it. From a grilling standpoint, the heat is even and consistent with its settings. The drip trays MUST be filled with a gallon of water especially if you re grilling lamb. (Grease fires
are very unsettling.) Once a week, I clean the drip trays of old seasoning and debris. Once every two or three months, I will pressure wash the unit, clean the grill racks and attend to anything else it needs. Again,
where we are at 17 YEARD and going strong. We did use a laser gun thermometer early on until we learned the range of temps based on gas settings.

We also acquired two of CV s griddles which resemble tank armor and you need a pair of biceps to move them. When properly seasoned (blackened), we have braising whole tenderloins, grilling fish to perfection
(in minutes), hamburgers, pancakes, the heat is just as you set it, clean up is short and sweet. Interestingly, before our CV only I did the grilling. When you have a professional grill that is better referenced and an
heirloom grill as this will eventually go to one of the kids, my bride of 32 years now doesn t wait for me. She enjoys it. Who knew? Ok- so I do the maintenance, clean up, change the propane tanks. This pales,
to having a happy wife with professional tools which yield sumptuous meals. Sorry its taken me so long but I have speak up.
