Third Weber and the igniters are substantially improved from previous model. Heating of grill area is very even and construction is typical high quality from Weber. Drip pan change is also very user friendly. Highly recommend
No slide out tray for cleaning as I believe last year's model had. No hood light. No dial lights that I know of. Unsure how long to run it for the initial burn in and couldn't find it in the instructions. Cooks well but wish it had the features earlier models did. I do like the large thermometer on the hood and large stainless steel grill. A natural gas grill is the way to go if you can.
Much like my old Weber EXCEPT that the side burner is on the left. This is quite inconvenient for a right-handed person. I have gotten burned from the main grill while stirring on the side burner. If you must, please offer this grill with optional side burner placement on left or right.
