Best grill Ive ever used January 8, 2009
schlooble (USA)
This is an amazing grill. I love every part of it.
The cooking surface is very large and can accommodate nearly any amount of food. I regularly cook for 10-15 people and it handles the load easily.
This grill is also great for BBQ smoking if you don't have an actual smoker. The grill grates that come with it have "trap doors" on the sides so that you can continue to add charcoal and wood to your heat source while the food stays over the middle away from the direct heat.
The built in ash catch is very sturdy and holds a lot of ash, you can use the grill a lot before having to empty it.
The propane lighting system is very efficient and has never failed me (over 100 uses).
The table top and built in charcoal holder may seem like luxuries, but they are worth their weight in gold.
Cons - the nut that holds the lid holder on comes loose pretty easily, so just make sure to keep it tight...one of mine fell off, but it was no big deal, I just replaced it with a wing nut for 10 cents.
TERRIFIC VALUE AND WONDERFUL UNIT December 4, 2008
Leonard Prescott (IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST)
I got my unit through amazon.com several years ago...picked the green and it was delivered to my door for a hundred dollars under what it was available for locally here in NW Montana. It has been a superb unit. Only problem I ever encountered was trying to run it near lake with high sustained winds....kept blowing out. Don't try to lift charcoal stowage end when filled with charcoal...I managed to get a small but fixable crack immediately into the nice plastic work surface/surround. This must be my 8th BBQ and the best yet! Previous one cost 3 or 4x more and was a stainless gas only. Good Luck
 It was hard to get November 25, 2008
Thriftstore Addict (San Diego)
I want to Home Depot Expo they had a performer on display I had been looking to buy one for a while. I was willing to pay full price. The one he had on display was broken. The salesman went to the back. When he came back he said he had three total they were all damage, The plastic tops were broken. He could make one good one from the parts from all three but it would still have a broken plastic top. I said make me a deal and I will buy the broken one. He came back from the managers office and said the best he could do was 20% off. He said he could special order one. I thought about it and said no. I was sure it would be broken also. I went to Barbeques Galore they were closing a store that had one on display so I bought at 50.00 off regular price the plastic was damaged but still in one piece. I think you if you are looking to buy one make sure they have one in stock.
Okay, the barbeque works great I like not having to get my chimney going all the time. The way the lid sits against the side is nice also. I also like the charcoal holder. I am planing to cook turkeys and such its nice not having to open the stainless steel lid to get to the charcoal. I am looking for another one on craigslist for my mother in laws house also.
An outdoor kitchen at a reasonable price September 16, 2008

Like many reviewers, I've looked at gas grills and been turned off by the flavor and their higher prices. Still, the concept of an outdoor kitchen for preparing, grilling and assembling meals was an appealing one. When I came upon this grill, it seemed like the perfect blend of convenience and performance. The grill surface itself is a lot bigger than my old 18 1/2" Weber, the work surface is extensive, and the gas ignition promised to simplify the most time-consuming and nerve-wracking part of the whole process.
My wife and I bought one from Crate and Barrel this weekend and tried it out, and it worked like a charm. I made a pork tenderloin from a Bobby Flay recipe that used both a glaze and a mojo. After heating the mojo on the stovetop, I brought the saucepan outside and set it right on the Thermoset work surface. My wife was worried that I'd just ruined our brand new grill, but I picked up the saucepan and you couldn't even tell it had been there. Awesome! Even with two bowls on the tabletop, there was still plenty of room for a big cutting board and a plate, so I was able to slice the tenderloin, transfer it to the plate, and bring it to the table ready to eat.
The best thing about this grill is that, because it's so easy to start and there's so much space, it makes you want to grill more and try new recipes. Kudos to Weber for a five-star, American-made product!
This is the 155th great review... September 10, 2008

It's awesome, just buy it. I actually got mine from Crate and Barrels. Same price and it came in a funky green color my wife liked.
