I replaced my 32 year old natural gas 3 burner Weber with this new Weber S-435 4 burner grated system enabled stainless steel beast of a unit. I have had it for about 2 months now and everything I have thrown at it turned out way beyond my expectations. The temperature control is amazing (my IR thermistor says so too) and the grated system is my go to for %80 of my cooking. I also purchased the griddle, cooking stone and wok system. I can't say enough on how pleased I am. Cleanup is a breeze and the storage areas is what I needed for all the add ons. If I had one wish it would be to add the smoker box that has the water feed system like on a different Weber grill. I wish I could buy it as an add-on. I just need a few things the rotisserie and smoker box I mentioned would make it perfect!
A bear to assemble. Nuts and bolts that go together are in different bags. The video link was too cartoonish. Had to find someone who had one already assembled that I could look at to see what the instructions were trying to say. Handle can burn your hand if it's out in the sun.
My handle spacers were broken and I'm still awaiting replacement parts. The hood was also scared but I touched it up w heat resistant paint. A bit disappointed considering the price of my grill.🥴
I bought this grill after 21 years of owning a Silver C. I bought this grill because I wanted something bigger. My only complaint, and maybe it’s because it’s larger than my previous grill is that it seems to take longer to heat up. Overall though It’s a great grill.
