I also poted this on the Kitchen board. I'm replacing an old electric Kenmore Classic Grille cooktop which has replaceable modules with the gas 30" Jenn-Air Model #JGCP430ADP. Both are slide in units, so the front to my kitchen cabinet was cut-away, which is why I am paying the extra bucks to get another slide in cooktop. (Parts are no longer available for the Kenmore). My problem is that the cut-out width for the Kenmore was 30" and the cutout for the Jenn-air is 28 7/8". Would adding 1/2" wood strips, screwed into the countertop(Formica covered particle board)to narrow the gap,support the weight (over 100lbs) of the Jen-air unit? Or would I be safer adding 2x4 supports at the corners? Also. anyone have any experience with the Jenn-air pro-style models?

Why pay for sheet metal and cheap burners when you can learn, compare, and get a quality grill in the same price range?

We bought one like it at Lowes and did not like it..Took it back..Did not have a good taste..Linda

I believe either Charbroil or Charmglow make grills for Sears, not sure which. Neither of these brands have performed very well nor have their durability records been anything to brag about. I looked at the Sears models in the spring and decided against them when I found out the manufacturer. A good grill, like Weber or Napoleon or Vermont Castings, can cost you from $600.00 to at least $1,200.00. It will depend on how much you want to spend and how big a grill you want or need. Stainless steel grills are much easier to clean. We put ours in the oven on the self-clean setting. They come out spotless every time. I have a Stainless Steel Napoleon PT450RB-I. The "I" stands for Infared. Mine has an infared burner that is great for steaks and burgers. It also came with a electric spit for cooking chickens, roast and etc. I believe the price was $1,200.00 delivered and set up/ with weather cover. The grill was a Father's Day gift. Napoleon is made in Canada and it is sometimes referred to as the Weber of Canada. I have been exceptional pleased with this grill. It is well built and very sturdy. It has the high quality stainless steel, not the cheap stuff. It replaced a 15 year old Ducane which gave us fantastic service. One of our sons now has the Ducane and it continues to perform very well. Other brands to look at are Ducane, now owned by Weber, and Vermont Castings. Enjoy the journey. eal51 in western CT
