Very easy to use and food turns out perfect. Fine temperature adjustment is the trick to perfect results. Stainless steel cabinet is the way to go. Decided to replace Weber Grill purchased 13 years ago. We barbeque 12 months a year in all kinds of weather. We are glad we stepped up to the Genesis II S-335. Not too sure if we will use the side burner that much, time will tell. Side burner came with the unit with the enclosed base which we preferred over the open base.
