Gosh I still remember getting an older version for $300. Those days are long gone.
I have an older Genesis with the side burner that was $800 about eight years ago, then they moved the production to China. The actual grill is fine, but their cast iron grates are garbage.
I saw this one and the larger Weber grill Costco is selling in the warehouses this year. Couldn't believe they're making them in Thailand now! Made in Thailand on both grills.
I have a 3 burner from 2003 that needs new grates, other than that it is great shape. The older models were definitely worth the premium over the Charbroil type grills.

Yes, the years keep passing by (16 now), and I'm still on my S-330's original stainless grates. I've had to replace the burners once and the heat shields, but the grates are still solid and rust free. Stainless grates are the only way to go with the Weber. If I were to buy today I'd buy the Weber Genesis S-315 Stainless Steel 3 -Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill for $899 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Weber...-US&fp=gglhttps://www.lowes.com/pd/Weber-Ge...5014838845 over this cast iron grate model. It doesn't have a side burner, but I hardly ever use mine.
If you can swing it the S-335 is worth it at $1199 in my opinion https://www.lowes.com/pd/Weber-Ge...5014838843 Once you buy it's one less thing to think about and you won't have to replace your grill for years. The best thing about the Weber is also the way it cooks, consistently. The burners aren't the most powerful, but it's engineered well and gets up to temp easily. I turn all of the burners on high, wait till it hits 550F° and put the steaks on. Super easy. I can grill even when it's windy, or in the middle of Winter. The cast aluminum and steel enclosure shields very well from wind. It's the only grill I've owned that I can say that about.

I literally just bought this last week online from Costco. Any idea if they'll price match?
