Very little flare up. Grease collection cup really works. Stainless steel get water stains very easily. Very hard to remove. Large handle gets hot. So far so good.
The Weber S-435 replaced my 10+ year old Genesis E-310 and the amount of grilling space allowed by the S-435 appeared to be 30% more surface and it made grilling for it's FIRST barbeque party so much easier and enjoyable!
This is a great, roomy grill. Well made and easy to use. I’ve had Webers in the past and they served me well. I liked it well enough that I purchased one for my daughter also.
This is my first experience with a gas grill after more than 30 years of using charcoal/lump charcoal, and I am super pleased with the E-435. Plenty of cooking room, love that I can control temps much better than with my kettle and, of course, the convenience of gas grilling. I am looking forward to accessorizing the grill over time to create a true outdoor kitchen.
