When mine finally gives up the ghost (13 years old now) I'll dump the
gas unit and use it as a regular briquet type. Once I tire of that
it'll probably become a nice little planter somewhere in the garden. If
you think about it, one of these has all manner of possibilities. Might
be a good place to start some plants from seed too.

You can get universal replacement parts for gas grills. No need to pitch
it. You can keep it going indefinitely.
