We bought this grill after purchasing a new home that did not have natural gas.  Our old house had a gas line that went directly to our grill and we did like that we didn’t have to worry about tanks etc.  However, the speed at which this grill gets up to temperature and the quality features more than make up for having to deal with Propane tanks again.   I bought this Weber grill based off a recommendation and we are not sorry.  Our old grill wore out quickly and was hard to find replacement parts for.  I had Weber grills in the past, I won’t buy anything but a Weber ever again.
