| jgoldenboy's Full Review: Weber-Stephen Products Genesis Silver A (LP) Propa... |
After purchasing a home, I longed to relive my childhood memories of weekend barbecues. However, not wanting to deal with the charcoal mess, I went to my local Home Depot and brought home the Weber Genesis Silver A. I love this grill so much that I try to use it every weekend unless it is covered in snow!
This grill has two burners. The front burner lights immediately, and the rear burner lights via a very reliable crossover ignition. With both burners set at high, the grill heats to 500-550 in about 20 minutes. Although Weber recommends "indirect" heat for some cooking (chickens, roasts, etc) they told me that with this grill I can just turn down the heat to "medium" on the front and back flames and place the chicken or roast BETWEEN the burners. It works very well. If you turn off one of the burners and leave the other on (as in true indirect cooking) the temperature usually is maintained at 400 - 425.
Because I bought the grill at Home Depot the grates are cast iron coated. They are HEAVY but if you leave the burners on high for 15 minutes after the meats are done then turn them off it's easy to brush off the "soot" that remains.
This grill is quality constructed and durable. What I'm most impressed with is Weber's phone tech support which is the best I've experienced anywhere for ANY product. Weber always answers the phone promptly and if it's a simple question about the grill's operation or a more complicated question (like how to season and cook an eye round roast or how to marinade and cook a chuck steak) Weber's tech support people have been downright OUTSTANDING. Personally, I think the tech support is worth the difference in price between less expensive grills and the Weber alone. But the quality construction and the superb grilling and this is one fantastic grill.
