Edit: it's propane at my store.
For the Natural Gas version?
Nevermind.
It's propane. Thanks.
I cook my steak with the sear burner and all the other knobs on high. Once the steak is well seared, I slide it to the non-sear side of the grill and finish it. That technique has worked very well for a ton of ribeyes and strips.
The best part of the version I own is the stainless grates IMO. They are still in great condition after 13 years of use. That's what I wonder about this grill with porcelain coated cast iron grates. Are they as easy to clean and as durable? With stainless grates, a quick scrub with a grill brush after cooking, and wipe down with oil while they're still hot, and it's ready for next time. No worries about corrosion.
The price was so good on my current grill I use, I bought a spare (floor model) that I knew did not have the electronics installed, and Lowes had lost the wiring kit. A 10 minute phone call to Weber and the serial number of the grill that did not have the wiring kit was all I needed to get Weber to send out a new kit free of charge to me. It was half-way expected given their reputation, but still top notch on their part.
I have no current information as to their customer service, but I have nothing but rave reviews on the performance of the grill, as well as my years old interaction with their CSR. I'd recommend the company and the grill.
To add insult to injury, I have the last model year Genesis that was made in the U.S., and Weber made the new Genesis grates about 1" smaller...so I can't use any of the new replacements. I have to buy a 3rd party replacement, but I've wavered given quality concerns. I'll likely buy some SS replacements soon for this season.
The rest of the grill is good to very good. It gets incredibly hot (700+ F) for searing, and the exterior has held up extremely well considering it's exposed to the elements (though under a cloth/canvas/vinyl cover when not in use). The "flavor bars" leave something to be desired in terms of durability because, again, the porcelain coating is subpar.
With the issues I've had and for the price, I won't buy another Weber. I've been thinking of switching to something else, but as long as mine is limping along, I'll probably keep using it. If there's a major break, it'll head to the dump.

I've been looking for an opportunity to upgrade to a decent weber.
