My first score of the new season

[DanHoo]

You're welcome. Did I miss anything? Those were honestly the only differences I noticed. Oh, one more thing. The stainless steel lids on these grills weigh a ton compared to a Genesis 1000 lid.

It's been a minute since I've cooked on a Silver B, and it aligns with my recollection.

When I swapped out my 2000 DU Silver B after 20++ years for a genny 1000 I observed similar differences. The 1000 was slower to heat and ran a little cooler, however I found the 1000 to be superior as a rotisserie grill compared to the silver B.

TBH, since I picked up the E330, I haven't cooked that often on either my Silver B or the 1000 to give them a fair comparison.

Edit: this came across wrong. Beginning in 2018 I invested time exploring new grills including a pellet smoker a WSM 22 and an E330. I'm blessed to have space and fortune to try different grills, and I opt for a gas grill when I'm in a rush which is why I like the E330.

Spreading cooks across 5 or 6 grills leaves some used less than others, and I tend to use the others more. I think both a Silver B and a 1000 are fine grills yet I cook most on my BGE, then my WSK and then my E330.

I probably prefer a Genesis 1000 over a Silver B purely for asthetics more than anything else, I just find them to be mostly unattractive grills. I came across this Genesis Gold purely by accident but it has definitely worked its way into my heart. I have come to appreciate its construction as well as its looks. There is certainly nothing wrong with expanding my horizons but I don't really have any room in my world for more than one grill at a time. I would still like to get my hands on that maroon Platinum series lid you have though.

Agreed. Opening and closing the SS ones they just feel so much more beefy. I also vastly prefer the handles on them over any of the various plastic and wood.

I do mostly indirect so I have grown to love my 330 and the N/S burners. I mainly run the two outside burners on medium and that tends to hold the lid temp at 425.

I’ve never used a rotisserie on a gasser. Someday I hope to, but it certainly makes sense that the deep box would be the best rotisserie option.
