10 years ain't a lifetime...

If I saw these, I would've just thought they were regular mills. How can you tell these are Peugeot? Like does Peugeot have a specific design or something?

Glad to hear and I hope it lasts forever, but 10 years is (IMHO) not nearly BIFL. Especially for a BBQ. My parents have a BBQ from the 1980's. Mine is a cast iron Napoleon and in perfect condition at 12 years old.

I bought Peugeot mills this year because I hoped to have them for life but they’re terrible!

When I first got it I was using it every weekend. Now it’s more like 20x per year. So I’ve easily done 200 grills on this thing including big parties. Burgers, pork chops, chicken, turkey, bacon, fish, sausage, pizza, fruits, veggies, you name it!

Good callout, I’ve replaced the flavorizer bars a couple of times. Didn’t really think of that as a repair or replacement, but I guess it is.

Believe it or not, yes! From Wikipedia: "The company also produced a line of pepper mills, salt grinders, and rolling pins sold under the Vic Firth Gourmet brand for many years until those interests were sold to Maine Wood Concepts of New Vineyard, Maine in 2012 and re-branded under the name Fletchers' Mill."
Interestingly, the NYT's Wirecutter rates Peugeot and Fletchers' Mill the top 2 pepper mills of 2022 (https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-pepper-mill/)

Meh. I have a pair of these. I think there are some plastic parts in the grinding mechanism.

It gives the option for coarse or fine salt in one vessel. It doesn't release oils or anything but it's nice to have. They're typically ceramic grinders so there is no wear to speak of.

I thought stainless means the steel cannot rust.

Same thought, have exactly the same grill, have replaced the bars once so far. Probably closer to 24-36 months on it but I'm neurotic about temperature, burning off, cleaning and my routine with every use.

Same. Thought it was just me but ours is rusting, even after being covered, and basically needs every part replaced at this point.

Many times these exact models are given away free on Facebook Marketplace. They are great to pick up free, fix up a bit and clean up and can easily sell for $60-$80
