The first thing I noticed about this grill is that it warmed up so much faster than my old, larger, Weber 4 burner grill I left with the house we just sold.  It would take nearly 15 minutes for the larger grill to reach 600 degrees...this grill takes about 4 minutes with just two burners and the sear burner.   Granted outside temps can affect the warm up time-Wisconsin vs. Florida.

I like the three burners option, although the two of us only use the two burners for now.  I am sure the third burner will be used soon, and so will the side burner.  Also, having two side platforms for plates and such, is another benefit. And, changing out the grease catcher pan is easy too.  Nice grill.
