Weber makes really good stuff. I got the basic kettle grill and I never see myself going back to gas. Most of the gas grills rust out in 3 to 5 years. Saying that if all you do is cook hamburgers and hot dogs and don't mind replacing it every few years then a gas grill is probably what you want. I've always wondered if the Weber gas grills hold up longer than the $200 to $400 ones.

I purchased my Weber Silver B in 2005, and I still cook on it. I've had to replace the flavorizor bars and cast iron grates once each. Also, the igniter finally bit the dust last year, but I just manually light it now which is just as easy. There may be an issue with the regulator as it doesn't quite heat up as fast, but still fine for my purposes. Everything else is doing just fine. I'm in no hurry to get another grill.

If you're going with gas, spend the extra bucks and buy quality, OR you can just put that extra money aside and buy replacement parts in about 3 years.

I've had my Weber gas grill for over 8 years, and it stays outside in the weather.
