The Weber Genesis is the gas grill that launched a thousand overpriced, overbuilt imitators. But theres a reason that many serious outdoor chefs stick with Weber: the brand is known for quality parts and construction. Properly cared for, a Weber grill will last a lifetime. Sized to suit almost any need, the Genesis Silver C has a powerful 36,000 BTU-per-hour cooking system, along with a heavy-duty 12,000-BTU side burner--so you can heat side dishes and sauces while meat grills. Three stainless steel burners run the length of the cookbox for even heating without hot or cold spots. Infinitely-adjustable, individually-controlled burner valves allow outdoor chefs to cook with direct or indirect heat. The primary cooking area, a warming rack, and warm-up basket provide a spacious 611 square inches of total cooking area--enough room to cook for even the biggest groups. An electronic Crossover ignition system lights all burners in succession with the push of a button. Porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate flare-ups caused by lava rocks and ceramic briquettes--fats and juices hit the angled bars and sizzle away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor instead of flames.
The Genesis Silvers durable construction includes a cast aluminum cookbox, fully-enclosed, robot-welded cart, porcelain-enamel cooking grates, and a rust-free porcelain-enamel steel hood. Rugged, weather-resistant wheels are crack-proof in the most extreme temperatures and allow easy transport. Locking casters prevent the grill from rolling while you cook.
This model also comes loaded with extras including: a condiment basket, four tool hooks, and a built-in thermometer. A swing-up work surface made from easy-to-clean, granite-look Thermoset holds marinades, sauces and plates while you grill. A slide-out bottom tray funnels grease into a removable catch pan for quick and painless clean-up. Also included is a 12-foot flexible hose to connect to a natural gas source. Best of all, ten fasteners are all that's needed to put this grill together, meaning you'll go from box to barbecue in less than 40 minutes. The Weber Genesis Silver measures 64-1/2 by 63 by 30 inches fully assembled. This item is covered by a limited, lifetime warranty, and is made in the USA. --Mary Park
