I have a phone about 5 grills in the past. I've never purchased a Weber before they are more expensive. This year for Father's Day my daughters help me pay for a grill so I upgraded to Weber. My first meal what is chicken breast I followed the cooking instructions. Grilled 5 to 6 minutes on each side, only opening the grill 2 flip the chicken ones. It was, the best I have ever made and it was faster than my other grills. No burning, very juicy. We did the same with T-bone steak a few days later. I didn't know what I was missing out on. Spend the extra bucks and really enjoy your barbecue and compliments on your great grilling skills.
