Love my new Genesis 4 burner grill. Especially been impressed with the griddle. Between the griddle and the grill I can cook everything from fried eggs to amazing steaks. I also switched from propane to natural gas which makes everything super convenient.
This grill is incomplete and I am still having too much trouble assembling.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear the grill came incomplete and you are having trouble assembling. This is not the experience we want our valued Weber fans to have. We are happy to help.
We see that our team is actively working with you to get this resolved. Our Care team will be reaching out to follow up. Thank you!
I like my new grill, but it seems to take a long time to get up to temperature. Also when I was putting it together, I found a couple of pices of rubber in the bottom of the box. It turns out they are bumpers for the lid to rest on when it is closed. I requested new ones but have not yet received them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It sounds like you may be activating a safety device built into the regulator. This safety device is a component of all LP gas regulators and is designed to reduce the flow of gas in the event of a leak.
You can inadvertently activate the safety device without having a gas leak. Typically, this occurs if you do not wait a sufficient time between opening the tank valve and the burner control knobs or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve. When the safety device has been activated the grill is referred to as being in “bypass”.
Keep in mind that the safety device reacts to gas leaks. If a grill is in bypass, the gas connections and hose should be tested for leaks with a soap and water solution.
If you do activate the gas regulator safety device, the grill may struggle to reach high temperatures or may not light at all, even with all burners on the START/HIGH setting.
To ensure that you are not inadvertently activating the safety device as you turn on the grill, please use the following procedure:
-Turn all burner control knobs to OFF, including the side burner control knob if present.
- Visually confirm all burners are extinguished (no flame present)
-Make sure the grill lid is open. Open the LP tank valve and then wait at least 60 seconds. This will allow the hose and regulator to pressurize.
-Turn the appropriate burner control knob for your model grill to the START/HIGH position and then ignite the grill by pushing the ignition button.
-Turn each of the other burner control knobs to high, one at a time, and press the igniter button (if applicable for your model). Repeat this process until all the burners have been lit.
-Close the grill lid.
-The grill should reach approximately 500 to 550 degrees in 10-15 minutes.
When you are done grilling:
-Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position
-Turn off the LP tank valve last.

This is a very nice grill. We also had a Weber grill before this. Love it. My husband uses this grill all year round at least 3-4 times a week! Love that we have a natural gas line directly to it. Would highly recommend.
The grill itself seems well built and was relatively easy to put together…although time consuming. However, for such an expensive grill the electric start for the main grill burners wouldn’t work. Spoke to Weber and they sent out replacement parts. Still doesn’t work Now, the grill still works if you manually start it and it seems to cook well, but I’m greatly disappointed in the lack of electric starting in such an expensive piece of outdoor cooking equipment. I expected better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
