TEC Patio II Grill

(Beaufort, SC)

This was a great grill for the first three years, well made, durable, and mostly trouble free. Afterward, it has been a constant problem. A grill that costs this much should last longer than a few years.

It started with one burner making a loud boom and then flickering after initial lighting. Soon, the second burner did the same. I contacted TEC and they tried to help me. I replaced both burner assemblies including the ceramic and both burner controls. I cleaned out the manifold and checked all lines for leaks. After spending $600 in parts, the grill continued to make these loud booms and put out the flame. It was so loud, the neighbors kept asking if we were okay.

I finally gave up investing in this money pit and bought a Weber. At least you can depend on them for a good ten years.......
