Which smoker would you recommend?

[pushok2018]

My nephew is looking for gas grill/smoker and asked me for recommendation. I have no knowledge in gas smokers what so ever so am looking for your advice....
He is interested in two grill in particular:
1. Weber Genesis II S-345 3 Burner Gas Grill - https://www.costco.com/weber-genesis-ii-s-345-3-burner-gas-grill.product.100523600.html
and
2. Genesis II S-435 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill in Stainless with Built-In Thermometer and Side Burner - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Weber-G...hermometer-and-Side-Burner-62006001/307575074
Pretty expensive grills in my opinion but.... Thank you in advanace!

Weber makes good equipment, I have a spirit 3 burner that's pretty good but the Genesis line is a lot better built imo.

I have the Genesis 310 . I really like it . Yes it's convenient , but turns out some good eats too .
Memorial day is coming up , and the big box stores usually run a sale a week or so ahead of time .

Either of the two. Depends on how big he needs it to be. I own a Genesis 2, 3 burner, and love it.

chopsaw and Blues1 - thank you very much for your input! I appreciate that. I just emailed your opinion to my nephew. Personally, I suggested to him to buy a good pellet smoker.... but it's me....
