Conclusion. The Tepro Detroit Grill is a nice barbecue and looks very good when first assembled, although it’s longevity and hardiness could soon be called into question.

Why did they stop using lava rocks in gas grills?
They provided adequate surface area to vaporize juices and fairly even heat. However, because lava rocks are porous, they would soak up juices, grease, and other drippings like a sponge, and there was no good way to clean them. They also didn’t protect the burner below and burner rot was a constant issue.
