I bought this grill as a replacement for another Weber that lasted for 17 years. The old one still worked very well but was definitely aging and needed to go. I have been thrilled with the new one! Sturdy construction, functional design. The ignition system is quick and simple. The arrangement of the burners provides a means to do a variety of cooking styles. I used a vertical roaster to cook a 7kg turkey and it turned out even better than the many years from the old Weber. Most recently, I did a 'low and slow' cook of a large brisket. Perfect results. The grill in an all-year, all-weather appliance for me! I am also very excited about the arrangement of the drip tray. So easy to clean the base and remove the drained matter, I am looking forward to many years of use.
