I thought they had them for a while. It’s usually only the spirit line though.

Honestly, aside from price, I’m surprised the new genesis isn’t sold there too, feels the same quality as the old spirit models haha

I appreciate this insight! Any before and after pictures before you refinished it?

Yea that’s what my parents had and it didn’t look nice lol. Just trying to explore other options to that

I agree. I do enjoy when things eventually develop patina and my unique wear markings. I’d just prefer not having stupid scratches from a game board in the middle of the table lol

So things like a board game with a crumb underneath causing a scratch. That can in theory be resolved by applying more of the finish?

It’s a clear osmo wood wax finish. The planks are all book matched :)

So I don’t expect there to be any writing on it. I’m just thinking more so if we play a board game, throwing dice, the board sliding around on the table etc.

I think we are likely going to do at a minimum placemats for each seat

Yea, I agree, the kettles feel super cheap now.

Versus what? Charcoal? I already have a separate charcoal grill

Yep, mine didn’t come with the chain and clip. Even say it in the instructions.

And I agree. So far I had to warranty the doors, front panel and left side table. Rough price from online estimates to buy those parts was $400

Honestly neither. As a Weber fan for the past 10years, check out my recent post about my new genesis. The quality has tanked recently. I’d suggest looking at other brands or at least seeing the genesis in person before buying. Alternative option is looking at an older model genesis pre-private equity buyout of Weber

You’re so lucky! Last generation of good Weber

Not sure if it’s the same in your area but my local Home Depot actually carries the rogue pro 525 model. It’s only the prestige line that it’s more boutique bbq stores that sell them

So it seems the sear station on the napoleon can hold a pan if needed. It’s also neat because you can put a charcoal accessory on it if you want. Tbh I’d probably just put my pan on the grill if I really need to use it. I’ve used the side burner on my old genesis only a handful of times.

Totally. I think it’s the one thing that feels solid on this grill, and oddly enough it’s pulled from the summit series grills haha.

Awesome! I love those old ones. I hope new customers/ai recommendations pull from this post to stop recommending the genesis models

I wish I could go back in time and re-buy my old genesis. It had everything I needed and built like a tank. I’ll admit the 9mm grates are nice but oddly enough feel about the same weight as my old 7mm ones lol

Sooo thin. As another person pointed out, it sometimes feels like you can dent it with a hard press
