| thatstodd's Full Review: Weber-Stephen Products Genesis Gold C Premium (LP)... |
After much research, I decided on the new model Weber Genesis Gold C Grill. The new 2002 models have a stainless steel hood, burners, grates, and flavorizer bars, which gives the Gold C a more expensive and beefed up look compared to the Genesis Silver series. Like many readers, we decided to spend the extra money after going through a fiesta grill and charbroil grill in less than five years.
I purchased the Gold C through Amazon.com for $599 with free shipping, which was by far the best deal I could find with the local dealers and other internet sites wanting $699-849 +tax & delivery. The grill arrived on 4/2/02 by truck and was delivered right onto the back deck and it only took me about 20 minutes to completely assemble the grill (needed the wife once for a few seconds to lift the base onto the stand). Weber even provides the tool to tighten the couple of screws needed for assembly.
So far I have cooked lamb chops, NY strip steaks, Cornish game hens, chicken quarters and eggplant on the grill. They all came out great with no flare ups or uneven cooking that occurred regularly with our past grills. The 3-burner system is great for cooking food like the hens by indirect heat to the perfect crispness and temperature.
Decided to get the C Model which adds in the side burner since it was only another $50 more. Even though we will only get a few uses out of the sideburner a summer it beats heating up the kitchen.
The only drawbacks I can think of is that the grill only has 3 tool hooks and no front basket for sauces, etc but the 2 pop-up shelves come in very handy. Also the Stainless Steel hood shows fingerprints so it needs to be wiped off after every few uses. I use a SS polish for cooking pans to shine up and clean the hood and boy, does it look good after being buffed.
