Ducane Grill Ignitors

Ducane offers two series of gas grills: the Affinity Series 3100 and 4100. Both series feature an electronic ignition. The 3100 series offers three burners, and the 4100 series offers two burners. Both feature porcelain-enameled cooking grates.

History

There's limited information about Ducane's company history. It was in operation for 30 years before being acquired by Weber-Stephen Products Co. in 2004. The Illinois-based Weber-Stephen Products Co. now manufactures and distributes Ducane grills.

Special Features Of Ducane Grill Ignitors

Ducane Grill ignitors are push-button ignitors that operate on two sparks. The 3100 series features an enclosed cart with painted, stainless steel front doors. The lid is porcelain enamel and has a stainless steel handle. The cooking grates, warming rack, and heat distribution plates are also porcelain enamel. These grills feature two fixed casters and two swivel locking casters. The 4100 series includes many of the same features from the 3100 series. The major difference between the two series is that the 4100 grills include one more burner, having four instead of three burners.

Safety Measures

Care should be taken when using Ducane Grills, because of the presence of natural or propane gas. The ignitors are electric. All grills should be used outside, unless otherwise stipulated. When trouble-shooting a grill ignitor, be careful to follow manufacturer instructions.

Customer Experiences

Customers have an overall positive experience with Ducane grills, but one of their pitfalls seem to be that each burner must be lit individually.

Ducane's Warranty

Ducane offers various warranties on different parts of its grills. The burner, side table, cooking grates and heating distribution plates all carry a two-year warranty. The grill's frame and lid both carry a five-year warranty. To redeem the warranty, contact Ducane's customer service line with the grill's serial number.
