Review: Weber Genesis Silver
Weber 2005 Model 6721001 Genesis Silver B Propane, Black
Charcoal is the best way to grill, no doubt about it. But if you're like me, firing up the charcoal grill is a once-in-a-while affair, reserved for special occasions. For everyday grilling, I prefer propane, and my favorite grills are the Weber Genesis series.
I have the Weber Genesis Silver B as my main grill, and I use it for everything from vegetables to burgers to kabobs. The Genesis grills are solidly built, with cast iron and aluminum components where other grills use stamped aluminum or thin stainless steel. With 36,000 BTUs of heat and over 600 square inches of cooking space, the Genesis Silver B can handle almost any task you throw at it.
The built-in thermometer, gas tank meter, and no-flare-up Flavorizer bars are useful features that round out a complete package. Set up is relatively painless. The premium version includes an extra fold-out shelf, which is nice but not necessary, and stainless steel cooking grids, which clean up very nicely and are well worth the extra expense.
If you're looking to upgrade from an inexpensive grill to a real workhorse that will last for many years, look no further than the Genesis Silver.
