An always dependable Weber product. Had a Weber Genesis Silver that lasted 18 years which is why we stuck with Weber with the closest model to it. Know we are getting a quality product that will pass the test of time.
I have had only Weber grills for the past 19 years now. They have always lasted well, and the parts dept was always pleasant and awesome to deal with. This grill replaces my last Weber that was 6 years old and the non-grill parts were wearing quickly. We live on the Texas gulf courts and I did not do my usual damage control of cleaning, waxing, and sealing it before putting it into service. The cart had rusted badly along the bottom and near the gas tank mount. So it was time for a new grill.
My 3rd Weber Genesis in 28!years. I think I LIKE the newer burner design. Time will tell on longevity of the grill itself but so far so good. Best warranty around to my knowledge and they DO honor cook box and kid warranty for the entire time. Design aesthetics are not quite as appealing as my previous generation Genesis but other improvements offset IMO.
I sold commercial kitchen equipment for 25 years, and have used a variety of grills. My new Weber is the closest I have seen to a commercial unit in terms of cooking. The heating is very uniform across the grates, so no need to move product from one spot to another, unless you adjust the heat to create different heat zones. The cast grates are very durable, and clean up easily when done. They have different cooking styles on each side ( 1 for wider sears, 1 for narrower ), making things very versatile. The grill heats up fairly quickly, but as I live in a colder climate, I always heat mine low and slow to prevent damaging the cast grates. Even the lid lifts smoothly, and you can feel the sturdiness and quality when you lift it. Without question, the best residential grill I have ever cooked on! Looking forward to many years of happy cooking. Worth every penny!
Very well constructed and sturdy grill cook box. Will see how long the box resists rusting out. Wish the frame included panels to keep squirrels from using the frame box assembly as a nesting place. Also would have liked to have larger grilling tool hooks to keep attachments on the side panels when removing the weather cover. All-in-all this is a very good buy for the amateur griller. Especially, when adding custom GrillGrates to the cooking surface.
I would recommend this to a friend!
