5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this grill, August 21, 2005
This review is from: Weber 6750001 Genesis Gold C Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
This grill really is fantastic. I've had it for 2 months now, with absolutely no buyers remorse at all.
Pros:
1. Excellent heat control with a 3-zone heating system. Turn off the middle zone, and you go from direct heating to convection style grilling. I'm finding the capability to switch from direct to convection-style heating to be useful for cooking things like fish, chicken, and ribs without scorching the outside.
2. Fantastic temperature control from 250 degrees F, all the way up to 600 degrees. The temperature gauge on the front is really useful.
3. The fuel indicator is a nice feature.
4. It's very simple to remove any parts that tend to get messy and put into the dishwasher. Cleanup is a snap. The parts fit in the dishwasher without taking up all the space.
Cons (really just a few minor annoying things):
1. The lower cabinet is not water proof. Anything left in it will get wet in the rain.
2. My lower cabinet doors tend to swing open too easily. I added a magnetic door latch to deal with the problem.
3. The sideburner does not put out that many BTU's. It's more of a warmer than a burner. I ussually have to light the sideburner with a match, as the lighting switch doesn't seem to consistently work for the sideburner.
4. This grill is really heavy. Don't expect to throw it in the back of your pickup and take to the park. It's a 2-man job to move it around.
Overall fantastic grill, with a few minor annoyances. I give it 5 stars, mostly for the excellent temperature control, and the fact that I've gone from a grill meister that scorched the outside of the meat 50% of the time (with my previous grill), to perfect consistent results everytime.

Weber = Quality, July 3, 2005
This review is from: Weber 6750001 Genesis Gold C Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
My wife and I got our "Weber" Genesis Gold C almost a year ago and it's worked for us in the heat and in the cold without any problems at all. I originally selected this model for our Wedding Registry, not expecting to get it, and was thrilled when it arrived on our back doorstep...because the box was too big to get through the front door! *grin*
Some things we really love about it:
1. Construction
We were able to assemble it in under 30 minutes and get it running once I got the tank filled with propane not long after. The solid construction and stainless steel show no signs of rust or discoloration after a full year of weekly use.
2. Grillspace
The huge grillspace is more than accomodating when it comes time to get working with the heat. Three long burners allow for easy use for multiple heats and meat placement, as well as using the front two burners for meat while setting the third for bun grilling or potato cooking/heating or corn cooking or...well, you get the idea. The side burner is also useful if you're boiling sides or keeping your BBQ sauce warm or boiling brots in beer before you transfer them to the grill heat.
3. Workspace
There is a great deal of workspace and if you suddenly decide you need more so you don't contaminate your cooked meat with uncooked meat, there are two "fold-out" shelves which pull out in seconds and are more than sturdy for your 10lb leg of lamb to rest on.
4. Useful Display Features
The thermometer is very easy to read and "up front" on the cover so you know if you have the burners up high. The gravity-spring gas gauge is harder to see, but is very easy to read once you squat down to check on the fuel level in your tank.
5. Cleaning
Stainless steel design and parts make cleaning a snap. The usual grill-brush cleaning works fine but you can also remove the grill grates and "flavor bars" (dripping catchers) and scrub them in the sink and drop them right back in with no problems at all.
6. Ignition
In the year we've had the unit, it has always lit on the first press of the ignition lighter. The back two burners light from the first burner when it's lit, but nothing could be easier and it's great not to have to use long-stemmed matches or lighters anymore.
Bottom Line:
1. If you can afford it, buy it and you'll have a grill for life!
2. If you really like your friend, buy it for them and you'll have a friend for life who will invite you over for cookouts!
3. If you can't afford it, put it on your Wish List or Wedding Registry and maybe you'll have it delivered to your rear doorstep!

A High Quality Grill, August 15, 2005
This review is from: Weber 6750001 Genesis Gold C Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
I've owned and used other grills, but the Genesis is my favorite for two reasons:
1) It makes cooking easier. The heat is absolutely consistent, with no hotspots. I feel more at home in front of the grill than using my kitchen oven.
2) It's built like a tank. Easy to clean, and industructible. My old grill was not.
Buy the rotisserie attachment. You won't be sorry.
