I am in a dilemma. I just moved and left my trusty 7 year NG Summit S-470 at my old house as we moved to a house that has propane. The Summit has provided 7 years of flawless service without any issues coming from someone who grills year round several times per week. I am in the market for a new grill and of course starting out Weber is at the top of my list due to the past experience I have had with their grills.
The new Genesis II S-435 has truly peaked my interest with a huge price savings and more cooking area. Can someone explain to me the any differences between the 2 other than the 7mm vs 9mm grates, smoker box, and Rotisserie? I won't use the smoke box as I truly don't think it helps much and I will bust out the Yoder or Rec Tec if I want to smoke something. I occasionally used the Rotisserie for chicken but can stuff a stand or beer can up the bottom side of the chicken and turn off the middle 2 burners for that. Other than I used the Rotisserie burner occasionally when grilling or to finish a pizza or something I needed some top down heat from.
I went to my local BBQ store today to purchase one or the other but they had a run on grills before Christmas and their store currently looks like they are going out of business with no inventory. They said they would be stocked again by mid January so I have a few weeks and thought I would ask some of the experts on here their opinions. Thanks!
