After 3 $2-300 grills that only lasted 2-3 years I purchased a Weber Stainless for $950 3 years ago. It will out last the last 3 combined and when it needs repair parts are available.
America for the win!!! |

A Weber Genesis model will last you several years if you take care of it. The one I just gave away lasted me for over 20 years. I had to replace the burner at 13 years and the grates every five or six years but that was about it. I suspect the friend I gave it to will still get several more years of use out of it.
I have a BGE so I don't use a gas grill much. However, I did replace my Weber Genesis with a Weber Q 2200 just so I would have something to grill hotdogs and stuff like that without starting up the BGE. In addition I needed a cooker for a hurricane emergency supply because i live in Florida. Unless you have a big family a Weber Q 2200 or their larger Q 3200 is all most people would need. |

I bought a Charbroil a couple of years ago because it was cheap.
While it did get hot, it cooked unevenly, the plastic wheels broke, & I had to replace the 3 grills - not only did they all rust, one of them warped from the heat. I inherited an old (probably 10-15 years old) Weber a few months ago - it blows the new Charbroil away. |

Buy a Weber. Up front sucks but they are completely worth it.

Look at Broil King. Very impressive product. Less expensive than a Weber.
Stay away from Char-Broil. BROIL KING |

I bought a Weber Spirit E210 about 3 years ago and so far it's been a great little grill.
I wanted a nice smaller grill and the thing cooks great. |

Weber's are good. Get a cover and they will last a long time. Finally realized this after several cheap grills. When you try to replace parts on a cheap grill it is more economical to buy a new one...

My dad's had one like this for roughly 15 years and it still works pretty well. I had to replace the heat deflectors and the ignition switch over the years and the swing up front shelf is no longer, but yeah...lots of BBQs on that thing. Weber Genesis 1000. Chris |

My Weber Genesis is 20 years old and will go another 20.
In it's 20 years of service 1.) I replaced the cast iron grate with stainless steel 2.) I replaced the porcelain coated steel flavorizer bars with stainless steel 3.) I replaced the igniter and three valve knobs. 4.) I replaced the wheels 5.) I replaced the fitted cover 2 times and need another now. I want a new one but can not justify the cost..It will outlive me. My Weber is awesome! |
