Upgraded from a 5 yr old Spirit 310 that has been a great grill. Gave it to my brother in law and now he has a great grill. Love the fold down warming rack and the side burner. 10 year warranty is a huge benefit. Recently added Igrill3 to the grill. I cook a couple of times a week on a grill and this is even more impressive than the Spirit. I have been experimenting with the use of the grill as a smoker. I have an A Maze N smoker tube and have had really good results with ribs. The Genesis will hold a constant temperature as well as any smoker. May sell my dedicated smoker. Thanks for a quality long lasting product.
