I have owned many Weber grills over the past 50 years. three years ago I bought the Weber EX 4 and sold all of my other Webers Now I bought the XL 600 Searwood and I LOVE this machine. It works perfectly no matter what I ask it to do. It holds temperature and recovers quickly, it allows me to grill with the lid open and the accessories are just perfect. I just added the sear grate and the griddle. These are exactly what they claim to be and fit perfectly. By far the best and likely the last grill I will ever need. Thanks Weber, you got this one right.
