not to get sidetracked, but lets compare - I had a Lynx with 1 pro sear burner - near as I can tell, it cost more then 3-5 times what the CHarBroil Red units go for - is it worth it?? I don't know, but what I do know is it had a full welded SS body and frame - no bolts holding it together - this was true american made SS - not imported SS that discolors and pits out from China. There was a lifetime guarantee on everything on the grill - they dont even make replacement regular burners for it (solid 1/4 inch thick cast red brass). The grates were solid SS - each one weighed over 10 lbs. The entire grill weighed over 300 lbs - I am sure the RED product works well....I simply stated to not expect it to last and that, like most things in life, you get what you pay for (whether it be cars, watches, electronics, etc). An example would be I am sure people can and do make great que on a ECB - but it is easier to get the same result from a WSM...is the WSM worth the 5x price increase over the ECB? How about a Jambo compared to a Lang??? Same principle there...both work....which one would you rather have? Both can get you to the same end result, but one makes the process a lot easier, lasts longer, looks better, is made of higher quality material and has better workmanship, and just works better...it is what it is.
Disclaimer - I will say that I dont have my lynx anymore...when I got my ceramic cooker, I sold it and have not looked back one bit
