I had a Weber Genesis Silver A for 4 years. It was a terrific grill. I had only 3 minor problems with it. A weld came
loose on the little wire basket that holds the drip pan, which was really not a problem, but I wanted it corrected.
Weber replaced that at no cost to me. The warming tray got a little rusty (I rarely used it) and they replaced that too
at no cost to me. Also, the igniter finally gave out after 4 years. This part was out of warranty and cost me 10 dollars
to replace. So, it cost me 10 bucks on top of the purchase price to use this grill heavily for 4 years, stored outside,
and it cooks as well today as it did the day I bought it. A friend is now happily using it.

Based on that experience, I upgraded to a Summit Gold A. So far, it's been a very good grill. The only thing I don't
like about it is the stainless grates. They are thin and don't hold a lot of heat. I had cast iron grates on the
Genesis, which were wonderful. I will likely purchase cast-iron replacement grates for the new Weber (the Summit Gold
uses the same size grate as the Genesis B and C - just 3 instead of 2).

Weber support is absolutely fantastic. They're available 24-7, and the warranty is excellent. Aside from the stainless
grates, I strongly recommend Weber.
