I’m shopping for a propane grill for my husband for his birthday. Everything that I’ve seen has a stainless steel or a stainless steel alloy bottom. I’m concerned that it will rust and make the grill age prematurely. I don’t want his 3-year old grill to look like it’s 15 years old. We do have a grill cover, etc., but won’t the exposed metal on the bottom be an issue?

Thank you for any input you can provide!

I think it depends upon where you store it for the winter or period when you are not using it. I have a huge Weber grill and it is stainless steel on the bottom. I have it on my deck with a cover on it and have not had any problem with rust or discoloration either.
