Cons: Only one side handle. The "Gold" model of this same grill has two handles. Beware!

I recently purchased a one touch 18.5 Weber "silver" grill to replace my old one that I used for many years. While I was very pleased with my old one, the new one is potentially dangerous because it only has ONE side handle. This is not readily apparent when you purchase this model. Note that the one touch "gold" grill has 2 side handles Just why they decided to put side handles on one and not the other is irresponsible.

I feel it is irresponsible for Weber to sell these grills without making it clear that the silver model only has one side handle.
