At first glance, Weber gas grills look like something that might be shot into space or driven in a Formula 1 race rather than the sleek cooking machines they really are. This is an understandable mistake, because with its Genesis series of grills Weber has made the time-honored tradition of outdoor cooking state-of-the-art, virtually putting an entire kitchen at your fingertips and on your patio. The Genesis Platinum-C features a generous 611 square inches of total cooking area, which includes the primary cooking area, a warming rack, and a warm-up basket. Its three stainless-steel burners supply an input of 39,000 Btu's per hour and provide 550-degree broiling temperatures without wasting fuel. Platinum series grills also include a waterless smoker accessory that can be used in conjunction with mesquite or hickory chips to give a smoky edge to your cooking, as well as stainless-steel cooking grates. In place of the lava rock, pumice stone, or flat metal plates found in most common gas grills, Weber Platinum grills feature stainless-steel versions of the company's patented Flavorizer bars, which do not retain dripped fats. Instead, juices sizzle and smoke when they hit the Flavorizers, eliminating potentially disastrous flare-ups and imparting a delectable smoky flavor to your feast.
Getting the grill ready to cook that feast doesn't take long, either. Weber's Crossover Ignition System enables you to effortlessly start all three burners, which have been positioned to heat your food evenly. A dual-purpose thermometer included in the front of the grill unit measures the temperature under the hood; it can also be removed and used as a meat thermometer to ensure a thoroughly cooked meal every time. And you won't need to scramble for seasonings (or recipes--Weber provides a cookbook) or use a separate table while cooking, thanks to several convenient features. In addition to the handy stainless-steel work surface, complete with a stainless-steel towel bar, a wire shelf is situated beneath the grill, enclosed by stainless-steel doors, a feature exclusive to the Platinum-C. In addition, this model features a side burner, rated at 14,000 Btu's per hour, that's perfect for creating a side dish to accompany your perfectly cooked main course.
With its lid open, the Genesis Platinum-C measures 61-1/2 inches tall, 69-1/2 inches wide, and 34 inches deep. This powerful cooking machine is easily moved, however, thanks to its crackproof all-weather wheels and locking casters, which prevent it from moving when you're cooking. While a grill cover is recommended to protect your grill from the elements, Weber's engineers did take outdoor storage into consideration and, with the help of entomologists, added special spiderproof screens to prevent the burner tubes from being clogged by cobwebs or nests. Best of all, as this grill comes almost entirely assembled out of the box, the anxious griller will be able to have ribs roasting and burgers flipping in no time at all.

Product Description
The Genesis Platinum gas grill is available in one model featuring three burners and a side burner, our unique patented Flavorizer bar cooking system, patented hanging LP fuel scale (LP models only), Crossover ignition system, solid robot-welded carts, and a double-walled stainless steel hood. Stainless steel is a very durable choice of materials, but intense heat will cause it to discolor. Weber engineers solved this problem with a double-walled design. Air trapped between the walls insulates the handsome brushed stainless exterior maintaining its showroom condition. This model features a large side table that is constructed of cast aluminum and stainless steel for years of service, stainless steel welded cooking grates, stainless steel flavorizer bars, and a commercial grade side burner. Virtually factory assembled, this model only requires four bolts for final assembly. All propane models include a 20-pound propane tank. All models also feature a limited lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars
As good as it get's,
By Sam (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 4261001 Black Genesis Platinum C Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
Okay let me start off by saying that I don actually own one of these yet, but I will. I used a neighbors and it was awesome. This baby has it all! Sure you can spend thousands more on stainless steel BBQ monsters, but you'll never be disappointed with a Weber. Most Weber's in the Gold, Silver and Platinum series perform well and have good features, but the storage, style and BTU give the Genesis Platinum my vote!Happy BBQ

One of the best grills in the world,
By David (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 4261001 Black Genesis Platinum C Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
This grill is absolutely perfect. I have used it almost daily since owning it and have had no problems with it whatsoever. The burners provide a wonderful uniform cooking source and it is extremely easy to start. All you do is turn the knob to "Start" and push the ignition button. Other grills I have owned have required several clicks of the switch to start, not this one!! One push of the button and you're on your way. If you are going to store this grill outside, I highly recommend the purchase of Weber's Platinum grill cover. It's a little pricey, but worth it. The cover Amazon sent was torn and it took them a while to replace it, so be sure to look over what Amazon ships. The other cool thing about Weber is their customer service. I called them to register this beautiful machine and they were extremely helpful on the phone. I have also visited Weber's website and found lots of recipes and cooking instructions there. Extremely helpful!! If you're willing to spend $1500+ on a grill, this is the one.

1.0 out of 5 stars
BIG and great features, but poor performer.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Weber 4261001 Black Genesis Platinum C Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
This has been trouble from the get-go. We've used it for less than a season and it has been very unreliable -- doesn't heat evenly, cooking times do not correspond to what's written in the manual, often requires numerous complicated procedures to get lit. We previously owned a smaller Weber Genesis grill for 15 years and had no problems. Apart from the nice big cooking and storage spaces and the side burner for heating sauces, this big grill has been nothing but a BIG waste of money.
