Greetings from the High Country (altitude, not substance.) I am frank, living at just about 10,000 feet elevation.
Recent new owner of a Genesis® II S-435 stainless LP grill with sear burner. It was a floor model from a popular home center that had that plastic film stuck (vulcanized) to the lid cover. The mark down along with military discount put it on my deck for about a third off MSRP. Some 4 hours later using a plastic putty knife and heat gun followed by acetone wipe got all that plastic off- It looks as if new!
As good as a deal I got, I think I over-bought. Nice grill, no doubt, but I think a 3-burner model would have suited me better… I think a wave of “Tim the Toolman Tayler” along with silent grunting came over me as I was negotiating. I might use all burners only a few times a year, other than that it is grilling for 2 most of the time.
I am getting used to what good (better) grilling means after finally tossing a 15 year old Colman two-burner. That old grill technically would cook food I guess, but it was only 2-speed: “off” or full-on high heat. Having a new grill now with manageable temperatures is so much of a nicer way to cook.
Even though ‘prolly too big for daily use, I like this new Weber and am looking forward to ideas, recipes, conversation with the folks here.
