3. Quality: Are people on the same page thinking that Weber isn't what it used to be? The Genesis+ models seemed to be solid, but the Spirit, etc. didn't seem as well-made as the one I'm replacing (which would be about the same level).

4. Thoughts on Napoleon? It looks like they've got one that would be $700 WITH cover (Rogue 425), and they have a 15-year warranty (vs. 10 on Weber).

Think;

#1. I'm not sure what you mean by this but if you are asking is there enough room to use the griddle and the grill at the same time, I am not sure. You would have to check the dimensions of your grill and compare.

#2. Instead of replacing your grill, why not replace parts such as burners, grates, etc, etc. Weber pretty much sells parts for all their grills and you can buy upgraded parts such as stainless steel grates and SS burners. Two years ago I rebuilt a very old Genesis grill that I was originally going to replace. Saved a ton of money just replacing parts that needed to be. Grill was as good as new when complete!

#3. Weber has different model numbers under the same name. Usually the ones you find at the bigger box stores (Lowes, Home depot) are the cheaper models and will not have stainless steel burners and grates, etc, etc. Usually your local hardware store will sell the better ones. Look for ones that have all stainless (grates and burners).

#4. No experience with Napoleon...

Good luck!

Dan
