Is the Weber Genesis II smart grill worth it?

Picking up a Genesis II soon and wanted to know if the smart grill is worth the extra $350? Or should I just go with the regular one and get a separate digital meat thermometer?
Also, is the searing station worth it? It’s only an extra $100.

100% yes, get a separate one.

Nah. Just spend an extra 5 minutes letting the grill get REALLY hot. Do you really need to cook a steak at "1100*" or whatever they claim?

Ruth's Chris uses specially designed grills that are a mind-blowing 1,800 degrees.

Wait till Jan 1, go to lowes, they put all the grills on clearance, usually 40-60% off, got my last Weber genesis for $350

Thanks for this tip, that’s huge.

No on Smart Grill. Yes on sear burner. If you take care of the grill it will last at least 20 years. Make sure you buy a good cover regardless.

I'd go without the smart feature myself. Be sure to register the grill with Weber... some parts have a 10 year replacement warranty.
