Has anyone had a problem with the propane tank getting scorching hot and melting the plastic base?

I never had that problem with mine however, this unit stopped working the second year I tried to use it and I disposed of it and wont purchase another.

We haven't had a problem with it....and haven't heard of anyone else having any.

Ours gets warm but not so hot I worry about it. I've used ours to make large quantities of drinks etc over time and found the base does heat up but never beyond the point where I can handle it.

I had the same problem. I replaced the ballast and it took care of the problem. I also discovered the old one had got so hot it was partially melted.

I have had no problems with mine so far, and I use a pretty big burner as well. The only issue I have found is that fittings leak (actually it's more of a dribble). It is so minor I rarely even notice it.

I have and this gets as hot. We have had no problems with it and use it at least once a week.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

I've used it for several years. It's superb. Make certain that you clean the grill. It stops flare ups and gives consistent heat. Checking the fittings is a good idea. Make certAin that the hose to the tank is tight.

I haven't had that issue. Sometimes it does take awhile to get it lit so not sure if the propane needs to flow through before

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.

I've had mine since the middle of August and I have not noticed any abnormal problem with heat. Maybe an isolated incident.

I've not had this problem with mine and I've had it for awhile now. I've found it to be a good, high quality item. That said, I don't cook anything higher than medium heat.

We had the LID melt when in the carrier. Another hot dish was stacked on top which probably caused the problem. Just letting you know what can happen.

So far I have had no problems. Still as new as ever, and I have a gas range with grills.

I've been using mine for a little over a year now. However, I seldom use the right burner, which is for warming or simmering. But, I use the main burner all the time. I haven't had an issue at all since my purchase.
