This grill is built very well. Assembly instructions are difficult, even with the BILT app. Not sure why they have to be so minimalist. Also due to that it would be good to include some extra bolts, screws, and plastic wire holders. I have only cooked twice on the grill, but it seems like it takes a bit to preheat the grill without using the sear burner. The cook box is the same size as my old Summit that had 4 burners. Looking forward to doing some more cooks.
This grill is well built and functions well. Assembly was very straightforward, just took a bit of time. I have only used the grill for direct grilling of burgers and steaks which it does very well. So far I have two complaints. First, the digital display is very dim, making it difficult to read in bright daylight. Second, hanging the tank on the level gauge in side the cabinet is very awkward. It requires that you have very good arm and hand strength and lying on your back.
This grill gets very hot and has great searing capability, even though I'm using natural gas. The consistency of heating is even across the entire cooking surface. I've found that the iPhone app is very helpful in both temperature indication and in setting timers, and it gives accurate data to help ensure items get cooked precisely.
1. The grill was missing the power cord. First time they sent the wrong cord USB?? It took over a month to get the correct cord. 2. On every opening and closing, the lid hits the base on the right side. We have tried to adjust it but no success. We are very disappointed considering what we paid for it. 3. The Connect App tries to download an update but fails every time. 4. The unit is LP and we have it plumbed into our house supply at our lake cabin ie no 20lb tank hooked up. The app continues to send Low Fuel Warnings. Very annoying. There should be a method to turn off the warning.
This is another well designed Weber grill but be aware that the grill will need AC power or a battery to even display the temperature. This was not accurately described in any of the sales literature. I am temporarily running on a USB battery bank until I can have an outlet installed near the grill.
