"Looks like I'm not the only one having problems with defective Centro's catching fire. Google "centro bbq review about" for the bbq.about.com forum or go direct to http://bbq.about.com/b/2006/03/01/centro-barbeques.htm#gB3"

"There is a warning, and instruction on how do disassamble, clean and reassemble. I did this twice a year, every year, but still had this flashback. The dissassembly is from underneath and above, not easily doable, but the darn thing still melted. I checked the Weber out closely and the dissassembly and cleaning is much more straightforward and lends itself to more frequent cleaning."

"I bought a Centro NG unit with a side burner three years ago. It caught fire last year, melted the tin at the gas valves and we almost lost the deck. Canadian Tire said take it up with the manufacturer. Manufacturer said it was a blocked gas flow problem caused by spiders, except the gas run from the valves at the front to the burner dont disassemble for cleaning. Centro then said they would send parts, but only sent two plastic knobs, not the gas valves. Im buying a Weber this week to replace the Centro, and contacting CSA on this, passing the make, model and photos over. Centro is very, very dangerous."
