Outdoor Barbecue Grills - Product Reviews

lutefisk69 - (August 14, 2007) I purchased a gas grill from target for my sister (for her wedding) and the main issues I had with it was that it took forever to build and was extremely heavy. Then once I started cooking on it I had to constantly move food from one spot to another otherwise it would not cook evenly. From this experience I looked into grills for myself and found this Weber to have some positive reviews on other sites. It took me 30 minutes to build (would have taken less if I had done it in the day and had more light) and once I fired it up I noticed that the food cooked evenly no matter where on the grill it was. Product quality is high on the Weber and it seems like you get what you pay for, and with

TAllen1949 - (09/10/2009) Assembly- Instructions were good and it was easy to assemble once we got past the first two screws- they needed to be tapered and pointed on the end to go in correctly. Once we replaced these, the rest went together quickly. Sturdy- Almost everything is plastic on this grill and we thought this isn't going to hold up, but it is really quite heavy and very sturdy in moving and using it. We were amazed at how quick it preheated- 5 minutes and it was ready for the shrimp skewers. At 400 degrees, it was 2 minutes per side and the shrimp were done. Every skewer was perfect and the taste was wonderful. We let it cool and scrubbed the grilling surface with a grill brush and it cleaned up easily. My husband used to struggle with attaching the propane to our Ducane grill. This one snaps together quickly and the gas turnoff does not get hot during grilling so it can be turned off when you finish grilling. Our Ducane would get too hot; we would have to wait several hours, and sometimes forget and lose our propane. We are once again enjoying grilling.

gcavicchi - (05/16/2009) I had three of the grills the olds ones worked great but the new ones are JUNK!!!!I called weber about the problems and it was A WASTE OF MY TIME!! they dont care or want to fix the problems.It like you purchased it you live with it.ALSO THEY NOT CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The little weber was A REALLY JUNK.Paid over 100.00 and cant use it because it doesnt get HOT ENOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tevatoes - (02/10/2009) Moved south and bought the Ducane thinking that it was the best that Home Depot had to offer. I thought I was buying a grill for life,... sadly I was mistaken. I should have brought my Weber Genesis with me, (I gifted friends with it). While this shiny grill looks good and boasts all kinds of power under the hood, it just falls short over the long haul. From the get go the heating was uneven, with the rear of the grill running hotter than the front. Not entirely the end of the world, but not what one expects with burners that run from the front to the back. Speaking of burners, at just 2 years old, the burners started "burning out" (large holes at the end of the burner as a result of the uneven flame that caused to back of the grill to run hotter than the front.) To the tune of $20.00 each times 5 burners. Add to that the $145.00 I just spent to replace the heat bars (very flimsy construction to begin with) and to be honest, I'm really disappointed with the product. This might be a good choice for the occasional BBQer who want a good looking deck ornament, but for a serious griller/ Q'er. This is just not worth the money I should have gone with the Weber Summit Series. Perhaps next time,....
