Well, it is time to say adios to my old gas grill. I got a new grill about four years ago, and this little Falcon V has sat dormant since then. The shell is aluminum and it is in sturdy shape. The guts are pretty much rusted out. I have replaced them several times over the years. I can't imagine how many shrimp and steaks have been cooked on this little wonder. I certainly enjoyed having it. My boys learned about grilling on it. It will be hard to say good bye.
