I've been grilling on a Weber Genesis for the past 10 years...and I loved that grill, still do actually. Does a good job of getting meat done, but it doesn't add any flavor like my 1000D does. I have a Masterbuilt electric smoker as well...I've put out some delicious smoked meats with that thing. My Z Grill does a better job of giving smoke flavor to meat than the Masterbuilt ever did. I even get great looking smoke rings on the Z Grill, something I couldn't do on the MES no matter how many wood chips I loaded into that thing. All I'm saying is that my Z Grill is on a whole different level than my basic grill (can't believe I'm saying that about a Weber) and smoker. It does it all, and with tons more flavor in everything from burgers to brisket. Get one, you'll be asking yourself the same question I ask myself every time I fire it up.."Why did I wait so long???"
