| About This Brand |
|---|
This brand, known for its durability and dependability, went through an entire line and design change in 2007. Weber is known for its quality products in the midpriced to high-priced categories, and grills that feature coated cast-iron and stainless-steel-rod cooking grates and long-warranty stainless-steel burners. (The company offers a natural-gas version for most of its grills.) Weber recently introduced an infrared-searing station on some of its grills, updated its Q line of portable grills, and added colors to its entire lineup. Weber grills are available at many retailers nationwide. Grills range in price from $130 to $3,000. Note that Weber acquired Ducane about four years ago. |

Comment:
I have had many fine grillls from the big box stores, the last one lasted almost ten years, but had been slowly dying for many years. This is my first gas weber grill, and I wish I had gone ahead and bought long before now! Yes, they cost more that the big box specials, but the quality of the workmanship and having been made in the USA are well worth the price. My old grill had four burners, and could never reach the temp. that the Weber reaches in just five minutes. No flare ups, even controlled heat make grill much easier, using LESS propane!

Comment:
I used to buy cheaper grills that I found on sale and they were ok for a couple of years and then it was time to replace burners or grates or heat bars....this Weber has rocked our world with its controllable and very even heat though. I can't believe how much better we can grill now! We can cook meat perfectly...never too done and never undone.<br /><br />We bought a matching rotisserie and many recipes call for 375 or 400 degrees heat for 3 hours...I could have never controlled my cheaper grills to attempt that but with this Weber Genesis I can get the grill to any of these temps and keep it with a degree or two for several hours...it is that even and consistent...so meats turn out amazing. I only wish I had made this investment years ago now that realize what we've been missing. I just bought a smoker attachment and plan to expand into that realm...just can't say enough about the quality of this grill...Bought it on sale from HD and it came assembled so I can't speak to that effort...I will say this grill is heavy and opening the top can take some muscle but the results are well worth the effort.

Comment:
I have had a really hard time getting a grill that I like. I started with the Mega stainless grill from Costco and was very unhappy with the results. The Weber is exactly what they advertise it to be. It is a grill that a team has spent a lot of effort to get it right.If it's below freezing outside I still exspect the grill to do it's job. This grill works in the wind, in the cold,in the dead of night. If you want to buy one grill and keep it-this is the one. The only thing that seems to be a little weak is the spark does not always light the grill. So sometimes you have to hold the spark to get it to light. No big deal.
