Weber Competition

[Joe Anshien]

So I was in Lowes today and saw the new Napoleon Rogues. I think that they are great competitors to Spirit and Genesis lines. As with the Members Mark grills discussed in another thread, they have a really impressive warranty, cast aluminum firebox, and some neat features like integrated smoke box and folding side burner shelf. They had 2 on display. One in a flat black powder coat and other in a more traditional SS / enamel. Take a look at the photos below. I am really hoping that Weber steps its game up and offers IR side and rotisserie burners and maybe some other inovations.

Hey Joe,
Thanks for taking that sucker apart and snapping some picks for us. That's what floor models are for right? Looks like a very good value.
Again, thanks for taking the time to share.

It was fun. The sales guy came over and I gave him a crash course on grills and he was really thankful as he was quite clueless. He said they get to watch videos on some of the products some times.

When Weber starts putting all those bling features into their grills, the prices get over $1000 really quickly.
