Weber Grills worth double the price or no???
I was going to pretty much start this exact thread today. I was looking at grills over the weekend. The Webers seem very sturdy....WAY more than the old Char-grill I had that rusted out in the back of the cook box. I was looking at one at Home Depot and some guy that just walked in the store stopped to tell me how much he liked them. The cook box is pretty thick, very solid. I like that a lot.
I see several people mentioned they have the Genesis, anyone with experience with the Spirit series? They aren't as solid (plastic handles and a few other things), but they're a little cheaper and smaller. I don't need anything huge.
I was looking at the Spirit E310:
But I'm also considering a Genesis E310

Go with the Genesis.....while you may not "need" a bigger grill, it's better to have more and NOT need it than to need it and not have it.
And get the one with the side burner; I've used mine only 3 or 4 times in 10+ yrs but was valuable every time. I actually cooked for 12 during a hurricane with my Genesis when the power went out.

I've had the genesis for almost 10 years now. Got stainless everything and it was worth it. One thing not mentioned yet is the customer service is very good with weber too. Had a burner with a small hole in it after lots of use, still under warranty so I called weber and they said to take a picture of the burner and the SN inside the door and email it to them. Two days later I had three new stainless burners at my door.

I've had a Spirit for around five years. The stainless version. Its been great, but pretty much all of the internals have rusted and need to be replaced. I'm torn on whether to fix this one or upgrade to a genesis. I have even tossed around the idea of just doing a built in since I have a gas line ran for it.
If I had to do it again, I would start with the Genesis. They seem to have better materials then the Spirit.

I've had one of those 3-burner Spirits for about 10 years. It sits under the eave, so it gets hit with a fair amount of water. The shroud started to develop rust holes last year. Nothing major, but I called Weber, and they immediately sent me a brand new one under the 25 year warranty on that part. I also had to replace the grease catcher piece once, but that's it.
You asked about natural gas. Mine is; I have a hookup that is convenient. The long hose lets me move it around if needed. The only time I do is if I want to get under the patio to escape rain. I like not having to worry if the LP bottle is low.
Side burner: I did not want to pay for one, but that is all they had when I shopped. I seldom use it, but I'm glad it is there. Used it a lot when kitchen was remodeled. I also use it to boil shrimp, blacken food in a cast iron skillet, or other smoky/smelly projects that I don't want in the kitchen.
