This is my second time buying this BBQ. First one was a NG model that I had to leave when moving as my new home didn’t have NG and Weber doesn’t have a Propane conversion for their BBQ’s. Regardless, I’d buy a third if needed as this is my forever BBQ. Build was easy, and all the components are quality and fit together very well. Once assembled and after an initial burn off we bbq’d up some New York strips and they turned out fantastic. Had some dripping and some brief flare ups but with the drip tray design they extinguish quickly. Heat is very uniform over the entire grill area and precisely controlled whether you’re slow cooking or putting on a nice sear. Spend the extra for this BBQ and you will not be disappointed.
A month old and has already started to rust. Keep covered when not in use.

This is my second Weber. The first was the Q bbq. We had that for years and it never let us down. It was time to replace so we decided to go large. This Gensis we purchased is outstanding. The quality and build is solid. Very impressive and cooks like a professional should. My son does most of the cooking and loves it. He cooks at night sometimes so I got him the Weber handle light (a definite add on to consider). Very happy and know this will last me years. Thanks, Peter.
I expected for the price I paid, the grill would have a tank gauge indicating the level of gas used. My previous, less expensive, Weber grills (2) had this feature. Otherwise, it's a good grill, but pricey.
I have owned Weber grills and they are an excellent product. This new grill is no different. Love the grill. When I received the grill one item had a blemish that I could not remove. Called Weber who said to return the complete grill to the store and the store would order a new grill. I had just spent hours assembling the grill and just wanted the one replacement part. Weber would not replace the part. It was just a shelf. Was disappointed with that. The only other problem is Weber places large stickers on the hood and one of the shelves. After removing the stickers glue residue remained which was not easy to remove. Grill is great customer srrvice was not.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So this is our first real gas grill purchase, having gone for years with a Weber charcoal grill, and then abducting a neighbor’s discarded gas grill from the curb and managing to eke a few more steaks out of it before it fell apart. But it definitely showed us that we wanted a gas grill. I knew I wanted to get a Webber, based on their reputation. I was disheartened to learn that, like so many companies looking to cut costs, they apparently now outsource some parts production to China. Though the website still proudly posts that the grills are still assembled here in the states. Right out of the box, this thing works like a champ. I am completely happy with every aspect of it. Now to see if it continues working over the passage of time, in line with Weber’s reputation!
Got this grill about a month ago and it is awesome! This thing cooks so well and is very versatile with the optional grill frame and accessories. I do think Weber should just include the frame with every grill, since it was a hassle to get one ordered after receiving the griddle as a gift. I can now enjoy cooking things like smash burgers or bacon and eggs on a griddle, after swapping out 2/3 of the grill grate, and then finish the burgers on the other 1/3 of the grill to reduce grease. We never cooked bacon inside in the past because it was so messy. Not so with the griddle and I use the warming rack to let the grease drip off before serving. I’ve also grilled amazing steaks by swapping back in the grates for the griddle. I also like how the cabinet conceals the propane tank and how easily it lights with the push of a button. If you’re not sure whether to give up your grill for a griddle get this grill for the best of both worlds!
