Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Weber's Genesis Silver B brings the convenience and precision of gas cooking to the great outdoors. This impressive system has enough cooking space for grilling gourmets to comfortably cook six large steaks, but the real value in this grill lies in its durability. The porcelain-coated steel lid is exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. Three long-lasting stainless-steel burners--each with its own temperature control--cook countless meals evenly and efficiently. And the heat- and weather-resistant plastic work surfaces, handles, and wheels stand up to years of use.

Using this gas grill is easy. The push-button ignition system means you don't have to fuss with flints or matches. The grates and heat distributors are made from easy-to-clean porcelain-enameled steel and are designed to prevent flare-ups. The funneled bottom tray directs grease and cooking juices into a tidy, removable catch pan. And, if you're always wondering just how much propane is left in your tank, you'll love the accurate and easy-to-read fuel gauge that comes standard on this grill.

The barbecue pioneers at Weber know how to load up a grill with extras. The Silver B comes with a cooking box thermometer that doubles as a meat thermometer for more precise cooking needs. A rear warming rack and hanging basket are handy for keeping foods hot without overcooking them. Utensil hooks and a sizeable exterior work area keep you organized as you spice, baste, poke, and turn your culinary creations. And a cookbook introduces you to an impressive array of grilling standards, from sizzlin' soul food to haute cuisine.

This grill features Weber's Stop Watch engineering. Now it takes approximately 10 minutes to assemble your grill with no more than eight fasteners and a single tool. Weber even throws in the tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Grill. Excellent Value, April 26, 2002
I completed a thorough research of gas grills before I purchased a Weber Genesis Silver A Gas Grill, and I feel very confident that I made the right decision. Both the Genesis Silver A and B grills are outstanding. Which one you choose depends on your needs.

For most people, the Silver B is probably the better choice. But the Silver A is the best economy priced model on the market and perfect for anyone who does not need a lot of extra grill space.

Both the A and B earned the distinguished "Best Buy" rating from Consumer Reports. And both were graded for overall satisfaction with other brands that cost more money. The Weber Genesis grills are the cheapest grills for their level of quality and a good buy. (...). They could easily sell for...more [money] than they do.

The Weber Genesis Silver grills are built to last a very long time. They have solid frames, stainless steel burners, porcelain-coated lids, etc. My grill looks like it will last 20 years. They come with an unusually long warranty. On the other hand, some of the cheaper other brands will rust out in a couple years and cook unevenly. The Webers are worth the extra money.

The Weber "flavorizer bars" are the secret to even, tasty grilling. They cook well.

My model has cast iron grates, which I prefer for better searing. But the porcelain-coated grates are easier to clean.

For most people the Genesis Silver B is the safer purchase, because it's larger. And you get more grilling and shelf space. You never know if you will need the extra space over the next ten years. Get the B if you expect to host parties and family gatherings, or if you have a large family.

The Genesis Silver A is better if you are looking for a more affordable grill. It really is a great value. You would be much better off with the Silver A than some of the other cheapo brands.

I bought the Weber Genesis Silver A because my small family does not need the extra space of the Silver B. We do gourmet cooking for ourselves, not a big party. It still looks big to me.

The Weber Genesis Silver grills are the best for taste and value in the long run.

5.0 out of 5 stars 18 YEAR TESTIMONY! Indestructible Grill!, March 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Weber 2003 Model 2281001 Genesis Silver B Propane Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio)
First off, I do not own this particular model, BUT I do own a Weber Genesis II as it was called in 1985 when I bought it. The Genesis II is identical to this model except it's not stainless steel and has a few less bells and whistles. Essentially this newer model is like a grand child of the Genesis II.

I am a VERY AVID BBQ person using a grill 3-5 times every week rain or shine, and prior to my Weber purchase, it was not uncommon for me to literally WEAR OUT a gas BBQ in 2-3 years and be forced to buy a new one. Not only that, but in that 2-3 yr time I'd have to buy new lava rock, burners and lower grate because every part totally deteriorated.

FINALLY after wearing out 3 gas grills, I read how Weber Gas Grills are as bullet proof as their kettles, so I bought one. Granted, it was NOT [inexpensive]! ... But shortly after that and having tasted food off my Weber grill, several of my neighbors bought identical grills! LOL!!

And here I am EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER, having never replaced a single part, this grill works as well as it did the day I brought it home. You can't say that about other brands! I won't even mention how it hardly ever needs cleaning and when it does, it's a total breeze! There's no way I can say enough good things about my Weber Grill. This is definitely a grill you'll need to mention in your will because it will still be around after we leave here. -Chuck

5.0 out of 5 stars Thinking about changing from Charcoal to Gas?, September 4, 2002
By 
Luis Jose Salazar "lsalazar" (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Weber 2003 Model 2281001 Genesis Silver B Propane Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio)
UPDATE: now after 3 1/2 years, still happy, and the grill in optimal conditions just by following Weber guidance with regards to cleaning (warm water and soap twice/yr)...All the equipment (burners,etc) working great after 3 years.

Below my original post 2 yrs ago:
After years of cooking with only charcoal grills, I was afraid of changing to gas. I did it and I have been enjoying many happy dinners with family and friends. Once you learn how to sear food and how to use the 3 burners for different temperature sets, you wonder how you managed to cook w/o a gas grill before. I can do anything I was doing before in my owen and in my grill. The taste is very good thanks to the flavor bars, and the high temp allows a perfect sear. No problems at all after 18 months using it, even under the constant rain at Seattle!. Clean it is not a big deal if you follow weber guidelines with just soap and water. The tast is perfect, if you still miss the charcoal taste, you can add some wood chips in an aluminium tray and put that in one side. But that is not required, the grease and juices from the food droping into the hot flavorizer bars do the trick. If you are thinking about the model C, with the side burner, save some bucks. you cannot boil water or cook there, just keep warm some sauces.... buy the cover and accesories for the model B instead of expending that money on model C!
