I had a ten year old well used Genesis that I was ready to replace. It served me well so it was an easy decision to stay with Webber. So many of my friends had switched to griddles but I love an actual grill and don’t have space for both, not to mention the extra cost. So, I opted for a model that offered a full griddle insert and I couldn’t be happier.  Both functions work great and switching them out is a breeze.
