not sure if this applies to the USA or not, but in Canada, the slide aside lid holder is not being offered anymore due to low sales in the past couple of years. if you find one, don't take too long making up your mind on whether to purchase it or not. it's still on Weber's website, but then...

what i have been told by my rep is this... some of the weber models sold in box stores are now being made in China. premium models and summits are still made in IL, USA

something's not right. there's no way an independant would be selling the exact same item for double what a nearby box store sells for. anytime we sell the exact same bbq as a nearby box store does, we price match. either their model is different or someone is making an error.

the pic you posted with one fold up shelf is a box store silver B, the other with 2 fold up shelves is a mom and pop shop (or specialty retailer) Silver B. as for the platinum. the only difference between the platinum and the gold c is that the frame is stainless steel with a 25 year warranty...

yes, here in Canada, the S-320 LP will retail for $999, and the Premium with sideburner will retail for $969 - with the thicker stainless steel rods. you pay more for the stainless lid, but get thinner rods and the premiums are only available at specialty BBQ retailers - not box stores. as for...

price will certainly dictate for many, but for a few, and those just generally interested, i thought i would post this thread showing the differences between the premium and regular genesis grills for 2007 - up to you which you prefer - but this information cannot be found on weber's website, so...

as far as i am aware, there are no changes to the charcoal line this year - at least not as far as size goes... there's still the 18 1/2, the 22 1/2 and of course if you want bigger ... the ranch kettle performer is also still 22 1/2.

part of the confusion may be that there ARE certain models that weber makes that are not available in canada (OMC is the Canadian distributor for Weber), and the same "MAY" be true in reverse.

look, i'm not trying to stop people from buying from wherever they like, nor am i knocking weber (or HD etc), i'm just answering questions about differences between models. do your research if you like. you will find that products like weber, dewalt, john deer, etc, make their products with...

depending on the grill...there are actually at least 5 grates that i know of.. 1. PCI (Home Depot exclusive i believe) 2. porcelain coated steel "grates" (hollow/light) 3. stainless steel "grates" (hollow/light) 4. stainless steel "rods" 3/8" thick (heavy) 5. some newer Silver B's will also...

the model numbers are different from a regular gensis silver B and a premium genesis silver B. not sure what the pattern is though. best method is that if it has PCI or porcelain coated steel grates...it's not premium. also...phone weber and ask for premium dealers in your neighbourhood. Cheers!
