I had one of those Force 10 log style BBQ's...the whole thing did a MOB in the Northwest Arm, Halifax...all I had left was the mounting bracket on the rail..the 3 little spot welds that held the piece which fastened the Force 10 to the mounting bracket failed...no food on the grill at the time but had friends waiting for supper and kabobs ready for the grill...happened when I went to attach the 1 lb. propane cylinder...weak spot in the design so maybe check those welds too...replaced it with a Kuuma...cooks just as good, uses the same mounting bracket which is more securely attached and not that expensive...I am a happy cooker again
