We have been buying cheaper grills and after 3 to 5 years wind up
trashing them and buying a new one again...Now the wife wants a good
grill. So far we have looked at the Weber Genisis series as well as
the Ducane and also Vermont Castings lineup....

I have a Weber Genesis and has really been happy with it. At first I
was upset because I can't just turn on the left burner and cook a
small steak. I had to use 2 or more burners.

But then I really learned how to use direct and indirect heat, and
find the three burner system great. Also, I can cook a thick steak,
and get the outside well seared, but the inside perfect.

I've been using the indirect heating system more. The middle burner is
off, and the front and back are on, with the meat in the middle. I
combine the direct searing with the indirect when I want to make sure
a thick piece of meat is cooked.

The auto-starter works well. After four years, I have to press the
started twice, but every other grill the started failed completely.

I do have to replace the Flavorizer bars. Mine have holes in them.

The Weber cookbooks are very useful as well.
