After the condo association wouldn’t allow gas grills on the decks I was lost because I couldn’t grill like I normally do three or fours a week. I hesitated so long to buy an electric grill expecting the food to taste flat or just not right. I decided to go for it, research the different suppliers on the web, review all the comments, etc. I narrowed down to Weber because they have a well respected brand. Excellent choice! The Weber 2400 works great, takes about 20 minutes to warm up, the overall area burns the same/evenly (don’t have to worry about the food cooked differently), and cooks like a gas grill. I’ve cooked chicken, burgers, steaks and everything has been great. So far so good, I recommend this product
