This grill has does it all for me - from searing steaks to smoking ribs and pork shoulders. Once you figure out how the vents work, this grill can hold temperatures at a consistent range.  Having worked with a 22",  this is even better as the large amount of cooking space is really handy for larger groups of people. I have owned this product for over a year and I cannot recommend this product enough. 

In addition, Weber's Customer Service Department and Warranty policy is fantastic.  They helped replace a grill cover that was unfortunately damaged but was still under warranty.  A new cover was shipped immediately and I was back to grilling in no time.
