Does anyone have an opinion on the durability and longevity of Weber gas grills? I've been of the mindset that I would just buy the cheapest $200 grill every couple years because they all eventually wear out. Well, 12 years later, I imagine I've gone through 5 grills.
My latest grill was a $189 Charbroil. Lasted 2 years on the dot, and I just replaced the burners, grates, and rusted bits for about $120 in October. One burner has already gone out, and now the starter has given up the ghost.
So, I'm considering a Weber 3 burner Spirit or Genesis. If I can get 10 years out of it before the burners go out, I figure it will more than pay for itself. Yes, it will be covered/maintained, but do they give a more enjoyable grilling experience overall, such as better heat distribution and less hot spots?
