Weber grills, on the other hand, are [1] manufactured by Weber, [2] always
get great ratings, and [3] have terrific customer service.

I was looking at the same grill and had it against the Weber Gold C.
I did not go with the Jenn Air because the only thing "Jenn Air" about
it is the badge. Every part is special order.

Went with the Weber Gold C. Terrific Customer Support, parts just
about everywhere and reputation and ratings to boot...as you pretty
much summarized above.

I was also trying to decide between the JennAir 720-0061-LP and the
Weber Gold C. Tough decision. The JennAir is alot better looking.
And the all stainless exterior is nice. The Weber has some features
the Jenn Air lacks, such as built in fuel gauge, tool hooks, flip up
shelves, and better drip pan. None of these are a huge deal to me
though.
Everyone I've asked about grills aways replies Weber Weber Weber,
before I even tell them what I'm looking at. I've been trying to
decide for a couple weeks now, and thanks to your posts I'm going to
be getting a Weber Gold C.

Although you want a slick looking grill, reliability is definatly more
important. Why can't Weber make their grills all stainless and
symmetrical? Only if you want to pay $2000.

Maybe they actually think that function matters over form. Or maybe they
think that there are still people that value performance over vanity.

Either way, who cares - they make a great reasonably priced product that
works well. And I for one am glad that they do.

I would like to have some of the people who bite for the fancy SS grills at
various retailers give us an update on their satisfaction, say, five years
down the road. Webers may not look as pretty as some, but you can be sure
that you'll get great service and any needed parts into the future. The
other vendors-- well, we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

Well, it's not five years down the road, but about a week for me.
Yes, I bought one of the SS super grills. Here are my findings so far:

Good Points,
Pretty easy to keep looking good. Cleans up well.
Holds heat in well...outside of grill stays cooler then my old grill
Looks great on my deck.
I got it for $100 off because it was a display unit and had some
scratches that cleaned up with scotch-bright pad.
They have a new tech support number that does answer.
Some missing parts on mine are on their way to me after talking with
tech support.

Bad points,
Have to preheat the grill a LONG time to have it come up to temp.
The temp never gets as high as I would like it too.

If there is an interest I'll update more as I get more time on it. At
this point, I feel the unit lacks in the grill temp and I would not
spend the retail price for one. If I had it to do over with what I
know now I may have gone to something else. I may change this as I
get more time of the grill and see if I can fine ways to make it work
better for me, even if it means modifing some things.

Sorry if I'm late to the discussion, but wanted to say the Jenn-Air
grills that Lowes sells are made by Vermont Castings. Vermont Castings
bought the right to use the Jenn-Air name for gas grills. Home Depot
sells the same grill with the Vermont Castings name.

About two months ago we were in the market for a gas grill and my
research indicated Weber was a better choice. Everyone says Weber's
customer service is excellent and I've found that to be true. The side
burner cover on our grill was slightly damaged. I called Weber and they
quickly offered to send a replacement. Folks say the Weber grills will
practially last forever.

We settled on a Weber Genesis Gold C and are very happy with it.
Besides the usual hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken we've cooked a pork
butt, ribs and brisket. The pork butt and brisket cooked for around
eight hours, the ribs for about four hours, all at about 230 degrees and
they were as good or better than something you'd pay top dollar for at a
restaurant. We're very happy with the purchase.

I'm sorry but you have been misinformed. The JennAire name has been licensed
by Lowes, not vc/CFM. The majority of the current crop of JennAires are made
by NexGrill, not VC.
