Half of grill owners bought their grill five years ago or more, with 34% purchasing within the last three or four years and only 16% buying one within the past two years. Those figures lead to a promising portion of owners ready for a replacement.
 
Eleven percent of grill owners say they’ll buy a new one this year and 15% plan to buy one in 2011 or 2012. That’s one of the key findings from nearly 13,000 U.S. consumers responding to Casual Living and HGTV’s exclusive 2009 Outdoor Spaces Survey.  Order the exclusive "Consumer Views on Grills" report by clicking here.
