Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Weber's legendary build quality means this grill routinely lasts 10-15+ years, and the 12-year warranty backs every component
- ✓The dedicated sear zone burner gets hot enough for steakhouse-quality crusts, a real step up from basic 3-burner grills
- ✓Porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates retain heat beautifully and deliver even, dark sear marks
- ✓Flavorizer bars vaporize drippings for added flavor and funnel grease away to dramatically reduce flare-ups
- ✓Even heat distribution across the three burners makes indirect roasting and multi-zone cooking easy and predictable
- ✓The integrated side burner is genuinely useful for sauces, sides, or boiling without running back to the kitchen
- ✓Fit, finish, and ignition reliability are top-tier - the burners light first try every time for years
- ✓Parts availability is excellent, so even a decade in you can easily refresh grates, bars, or igniters
Cons
- ✗At ~$900 it's significantly pricier than comparable Char-Broil or Monument 3-burners, so you pay for the Weber name
- ✗513 sq in of main cooking space is modest - big parties may want a 4-burner for more real estate
- ✗It has no WiFi, app, or built-in temperature probe, which feels dated next to smart grills at this price
- ✗The newer redesign moved from stainless to porcelain-coated steel Flavorizer bars, which some long-time Weber fans see as a downgrade
- ✗Assembly is lengthy and the grill is heavy at 188 lbs, so plan for two people and a couple hours
- ✗The open-cart lower shelf offers no enclosed storage to hide the propane tank or accessories
- ✗It only reaches gas-grill temps, so it's not a smoker - low-and-slow BBQ isn't its strength
- ✗Some owners note the lid thermometer is imprecise and recommend a separate probe for accuracy
