Disappointed that I have to plug it in

We spent alot of money and were pretty excited to get this grill. did not realize until after purchase we needed to plug it in to see the temperature. I grill for about 3-5 nights a week, at least six months of the year. I use the temperature feature all the time. We don't have a plug convenient to where the grill is. Poor design thinking people would want to plug their grills in
There are a couple things that could be improved. First I wish the cabinet area was more closed off like the summit cabinets. I hear many complaints that critters get into the cabinet. I also wish the fuel gage could be more accurate. I have been cooking with the gage showing <10% for some time. Not sure if that could be improved or not. I would also be nice to see that on the display on the grill. I hate needing to use the phone app to see it.
Weber has so many features to choose from. I love having the searing zone and digital temperature monitor built in. Monitoring everything on my phone allows, me to be in the kitchen and still in control. Another great feature is the side storage compartment for extra parts like my griddle. Lastly, I have natural gas. The cooking always stays consistent for me and you never run out of fuel while grilling.
We had a Genesis Grill for many years before this one which has a sear burner and temperature and wi fi panel. This is a nice feature but only will accept two probes. I would have preferred six. I also would have liked if it would run off of household batteries instead of having to buy an a power pack. The accessories are almost expensive as buying a whole new cheap grill. I would have liked to see more stainless steel parts.
Overall not what Weber used to be. The BAD : one of the grates are not level and rock back and forth on the grill. When you bought a stainless steel grill the entire thing was stainless. Only the part of the lid and doors are. The rest is VERY thin stamped steel. Also the overall heat output could be higher. I’d love 30k btu per burner. Also sell the lighted handle as an accessory. I’d buy it!
The GOOD: goes together fairly easily. Almost all the gas system is already built very nice! The wiring is also very easy. Heat output is low but VERY even across the entire grill. The casters are a tad small but roll nicely across most surfaces.
I have used Weber grills for nearly 50 years and this latest one continues the tradition of good looks, ease of use, and great results. This is a step up from my Silver gas grill and I love the additional prep, storage and cooking space. I'm looking forward to cooking all my favorite dishes and some new ones.
