For the past almost 40 years, I've had a found Weber charcoal grill. It works great for cooking certain meats, but has a lot of negatives: 1) you have to pile up the charcoal, spread on the lighter fluid, and ignite; 2) you have to wait for the coals to get hot enough; 3) you have a limited amount of time to use the coals before they consume themselves; 4) if the meat you are cooking has lots of fat or oils, the coals flare up, and have to be smothered with the top of the gril. So, all in all, not very easy to use.
I have several friends with propane grills, and I used one last month in Seattle, and another earlier this month on Orcas Island. When I grilled chicken pieces recently on my charcoal grill, I had serious problems with flare ups. So I found this Weber Propane grill, ordered it on a Sunday, and it was delivered on Wednesday near the start of my 6a-9a delivery window.
We invited friends over for dinner at 6:00p that evening, and I didn't start on the assembly process until 2:30p, expecting it would be a quick 45 minute job. Oops. It took me 2.5 hours.
ONLY COMPLAINT: The instructions are very bare-bones, and the printed instructions DO NOT AGREE with the electronic instructions available on the recommended mobile app. I actually had to refer to BOTH the printed and electronic instructions to make sure I was assembling the grill correctly.
I got a Blue Rhino propane canister at the grocery store, connected it, and the grill fired up right away. Wednesday night I grilled sliced zucchini, sliced red peppers, sliced portabello mushrooms, two kinds of sausages, and beef NY steaks. On Thursday, I grilled portabellos again, asparagus, and nopales (cactus leaves). Followed by whole branzino (lightly stuffed with herbs and lemon slices). They all turned out beautifully. NOTE: An electronic meat thermometer is a must to ensure the correct level of doneness for steaks and chicken.
There is a clever spring-loaded holder for the propane canister, which attempts to indicate the gas level remaining in the canister (the canister gets lighter, holder rises on its track). This is better than nothing, but imprecise. [You could imagine a gas flow meter and pressure sensor, along with a microprocessor and a digital display, that estimates how many minutes of grilling time you have left. Instead, I'm going to get a second propane canister, so I can switch over.]
I bought a metal wire brush (from Weber) to clean the grilling racks. And the other parts that get dirty seem to be easy to remove and clean.

I purchased as a gift for my son (pictured.)I saw a lot of reviews that mentioned damaged or missing parts, etc. but mine arrived on-time and in perfect shape (no scratches, dents, etc.). The instructions were easy to follow. It took a little over an hour for my son and me to assemble it. We hooked it up and all of the ignitors and burners worked, No leaks detected.Note: It doesn't come with an LP tank so be sure to order one if you don't already have one.. (It doesn't say it does, but you might not think of that.)OK, I do have one complaint but that regards the delivery - it was supposed to be an Amazon "key" delivery and they should have put it in my garage. Instead, they rang the doorbell and walked away. I opened the door to see it sitting on my front porch. Fortunately, they hadn't left so I was able to call them back to put it in the garage.
