In looking at the info on Weber's web site (Weber Grills and Accessories) regarding those two lines of grills, it sounds like both can be had in either natural gas or propane versions.

Bill :)

I always thought Genesis was the highest end of the Webers. When I look on forums, they seems be both top of the line but with different functions. Can someone clear this up for me? It would be much appreciated. Maybe Brilliant Bill?

I bought the el-cheapo grills from Lowes or Home Deopt for $99.00 and they seem to last a long time. One I bought approx 7-10 years ago sat exposed to the elements in the marina in CT where I kept my boat and still works fine. It has been knocked over from strong winds, underwater from the spring floods and the only thing wrong with it is that the Igniter doesn't work. Some surface rust, that's all.

I bought the same grill here in Florida 2 yrs ago when we bought our CYV and it too has been exposed to the elements. A little more surface rust than my older one in CT but it works fine. Guess I was lucky with both grills. Now I probably just jinxed myself by saying that they have been trouble free for all this time :)

Only downside to them is that they do not have a warming rack, but I can live with it.

We are looking for grills that can be insert for the summer kitchen. Free standing we would not hesitate to get the Weber Genesis again.

I have had a Weber in the Chicago area for 10 plus years. It is a stand alone, and I have used it summer and winter. I had thought about a summer kitchen in TV as I will be building this autumn, but in the end opted for the wet bar only. I will buy another Weber to use as I like the quality. I was a bit worried about the expense of replacing the grill should it die on me!

Our Charbroil 6 years and still lights up everytime.Weber lost the ignition within 3 years...

I had a Charbroil rot out in 14 months. The bolts which hold the burners in place actually crumbled like they were ceramic when I tried to remove the burners and I used were light torque with the screwdriver. I bought the Weber. It is much less expensive in the long run.

Wonder why this is? Our grill rusted out in a short time too. Is it the humidity?

NEVER had that happen in Ohio.

It happened in Ohio Hahaha. In the Akron area. Two of the three burners rusted in half and the screws crumbled. Fortunately, against my usual policy, I bought the extended warranty from Home depot. They were totally awesome. They gave me a full refund, sold me a new, stainless steel Weber for about half price and assembled and delivered it for free. I have sworn my allegiance to Home Depot. I will not shop anywhere else unless they are either out of a product or don't sell it. My guess for the inconsistency in the quality is that Charbroil multi-sources their production. China? Burma? Vietnam? Or perhaps there was just a bad lot of steel. Whatever the reason, I plan to serve you, Gracie, with some of my World Famous grilled chicken breasts if and when we ever get this home sold in Ohio. :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

Dispose old gas grille
 

How do you dispose of an old gas grille?

T&D Screen just put in a summer kitchen and patio for us. The grills we used are ceramic Big Green Eggs...no rust! When I bought our large BGE a few years ago I also had a Weber Natural Gas grill, never used the Weber again after buying the BGE.
