I used my Weber silver series gas grill for 19 years. I would have used longer if I had time to get a replacement part before an 80 guests cookout happening in 3 days. My husband went out on an immediate search and my only request it must be Weber. He came home with the Genesis. I am hoping to have as much or even more longevity out of this beauty. The cookout was a success.
The grill performs flawlessly. I enjoy the searing station feature for perfect medium rare steaks. Easy to assemble from the detailed instructions provided. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the top lid came in dented. It did not however affect the performance of the grill.
This is my 3rd. Weber gas grill. This new giant does everything I want in a grill. Can easily create cool areas to keep things warm or to slow cook foods just by turning off 2 of the 4 burners. Right next to the cool area, I turn the next 2 burners on high with the sear burner in between for producing excellent sear marks and perfectly grilled steaks. No need for the cast Iron sear grate accessory anymore. And while I'm grilling steaks and vegies, I'm using the side burner with a cast iron skillet to prepare mushrooms in an onion garlic sauce. 2 things: The grill needs a better control of the side burner to turn down the heat to low/ very low so foods can simmer. Right now the lowest setting is much too hot. Also would like to see some steel cemented behind the stainless steel front areas so magnetic hooks can be used.
Grill is what I would expect from Weber. Very happy with performance to start. I retired a 18 year old Weber so I have a bit of a learning curve to go through with this new one but all is going well.
I’m happy with the grill last one lasted 15 years let’s see how this one does. I will say the wiring harness was a little short making assembly very tight. The far burner doesn’t light ( probably because of the wire stretching) But I’m a Weber fan and went with it. I do like the new gas tips and the igrill.
