Lifetime Fusion Grill (Gas/Pellet Combo)

Just learned about them yesterday at the International Sportsmans Expo in Salt Lake City (Sandy), Utah. They're a new venture for Lifetime as they have never produced a cooking product in the past. Outdoor furniture and coolers have been their forte thus far. You can check it out here if you've never heard about them before.

Lifetime Smoker Grill Combo

Anybody on here have one yet?

[GolfGeezer]

No, but that looks mighty interesting!

no searing burner is a non starter for me…..

I would think you could crank up one of the 4 gas tubes to get a good sear, but maybe not. Just thinking out loud. 😁

Never heard of them. Looking forward to learning more

I like the concept, but for something branded as lifetime, I see a lot of cheap painted metal instead of quality steel.

Hey, it’ll last a lifetime cheaply. 🕶

Thats helpful

Has many reviews going back almost a year. But most of the reviews seem contrived rather than authentic- meaning all very positive and full of praise with no criticism.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

my thoughts as well

The only review I looked at was this one. I thought he did a decent job at pointing out pros & cons. Here is that 30-minute review if you're interested: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...6FORM%3DVDVVXX

Another thought that occurs to me is about the design. The gas tubes sit above the firepot with the holes of the tubes facing up. Well, pellet poopers throw ash underneath the deflector (whatever design that is). It would seem to me that over time, those ash particles would worm their way into the holes of the gas tubes. Gas grills are already prone to small critters getting into the tubes, and with this design, it seems to me ash from pellet smoking would exacerbate that issue. Just sayin'...

that's an interesting thought... are there any gas grills that down fire?
