My beloved 14-yr. old Weber Genesis Jr. gas grill was picked up and
thrown off the deck by 60-mph winds today, tearing off the lid and
otherwise mutilating the poor thing. I'm quite distraught because
this grill has served me very well all these years and is a lovely red
with wonderful redwood shelves. I really thought I would get a lot
more years out of it.

Anyway, I need to replace it really soon because I grill year round.
Where can I get a good price on a Weber Genesis Silver B, under the
usual retail $450? Or is Weber one of those products that just can't
be found at discount prices?

A 2001 thread I found on Google indicates that sales happen at the big
box stores at the end of summer (guess I'm too late for that) and also
in the spring at the Palatine, IL, mfg. plant, a bit far from me. Any
change in that information? FWIW, I'm in Rochester, New York.

Yep... I got a Weber Genesis Silver B at Ace Hardware for $299... Even
as a "end of summer sale" it was still a steal...

Man... bummer. At 14 years old you may be SOL but here's a story of
something that happened to me.

Bought a Weber Silver B a few years ago. Never sent in the warrenty
card. A year or two later some folks wanted to borrow it for a party.
"Hey fine, go ahead". Two guys were loading it onto the back of a
pickup and the lid flopped open (dummies loaded it the wrong way) and
broke the back cast hinges right off.

They felt bad and said they'd fix it. Ok, no problem. I told them that
I'd never sent in the warrenty card. They called Weber, told them the
truth and asked how much it would be to have it fixed.

Weber sent a new lid plus sent someone to put it on at no charge. I
couldn't believe it.

Pre-hoilday time is probably the second worst time of year for finding sales on
grills, late spring/early summer being the worst... and the large stores that
typically carry them don't this time of year... I'd think you're pretty much at
the mercy of the small retailers, unless you can locate a source on the net,
have you searched?

Anyway, thanks for reminding me about the wind... since I moved my Weber is
much more exposed, I will be out first thing tomorrow morning weighing it down,
I think a couple of heavy patio stones on the lower shelf should do the trick..

Weber is damn good at customer service. I had the igniter go out
on me shortly after I bought my grill -- I called them and an
actual HUMAN answered after the FIRST RING. You coulda knocked
me over with a chicken wing. Plus, the guy knew about the problem
right away (apparently their supplier had sent them a bad batch
of igniters), and sent me a new one immediately -- he didn't even
want the defective one back.

There are a couple on ebay. You can buy them new from many places.
Just put Weber Genesis in your search.

Heartbreaking tale, yes, but 14 years is a pretty good run, so dry your
eyes.

But, get out the crying towel again, because this is a lousy time of year to
find a 'deal' on a gas grill in a store, if you can find a grill at all.
Better luck finding a talking santa claus.

That said, search the net (if you haven't) or try Ebay.

Or buy a ceramic Kamado. The #7 weighs 400 lbs and if it blows off of a
deck, you have more serious problems than just losing a grill.

Customer service like that is how you build a fanatically loyal
customer base. Too bad more companies don't do it.

Check around or call any of the local home improvement centers like Home
Depot or Lowes.

This time of year they are closing out or reducing their inventory of
grills and the like. Good bargains can be had at this time of the year.

They need the floor space for the gas log season.

A little driving could save you some bucks.

(laughing) That's what I was thinking, Dimitri lives in Southern
California, but closing out the grill selling season is like ...
August, here. Definitely not the middle of November.

Jack, Here in the city, all the grills and fans are long gone. Instead,
there are space heaters and electric Christmas Lawn Ornaments to be
had.

I feel so badly about the Weber Grill that met with such a tragic end, I
think we should have some kind of memorial services for it. (

Weather has nothing to do with it. Here in frigid (well, maybe it does, 52 here
last night) central Florida, the grill displays dissappeared right before
Halloween when all the "Santa" stuff came out.

Thank you, Nancy, I was safe and sound at the N. Y. Chocolate Show.
Well, not that safe and today, not that sound.

It is all my fault. I was warned not to eat too much chocolate. "Don't
over-indulge just because there are unlimited samples of delicious
chocolate, all free, all there for the taking, or you will get sick"
someone warned me. I didn't heed the good advice and I ate more than I
should have. So, of course today I am sick. I have either a bad cold
or the flu, chocolate induced no doubt. Why oh why didn't I listen to
the warning? (

I've heard of a cake called 'death by chocolate' but have never heard of
illness by chocolate. Well, feel better, Margaret, and hope you're fit as a

It served you well, and you should honor it by digging a hole in your back yard

I have had exactly one problem out of several transactions
with Weber customer service. And that was because I wanted
them to sell me a part on purpose that isn't designed for
my grill. Well, the problem is, I think it *is* designed for
my grill and they don't *want* to sell it to me because then
I'd effectively have a "Gold" model instead of a "Silver,"
for several hundred dollars less, and in black instead of
stainless.

Other than that, yes, Weber is a big dog when it comes
to helping their customers.

I suspect that their new grill styles and serious intent
have to do with the fact that the new owners of the company
are not very happy that the "premium" grill brands have
eaten into their virtual monopoly on cookin' out.

We'll see if it lasts. It will, if they keep building
them and serving us the way they are.

It's hard to do, but I've seen them discounted $50 or so
at Home Depot (which *never* has sales) and Lowe's when
they're overstocked (which is Memorial Day and the 4th of
July, not Thanksgiving, sadly...)

Our grill is one of many things we couldn't fit into the
back of the moving van. We've been looking at grills,
with smokers attached to them, at Academy.
Does Weber make a good one like this ?
Anyone have on of these that can share experiences,
advice, pro or cons?

The name of a sporting goods store down here in the south,
previously unknown to me.
Odd name for a sporting goods store, IMO.

But, we went in there on a whim and lo and behold,
they've got a huge selection of grillers and smokers, etc.

The one thing I won't trust my Genesis Silver C to do
correctly out of the box is act as a smoker.

Even with only one burner on and turned to LOW, I can't
get it to stay below 275F with the lid closed (there's a
wide strip of open exhaust space at the back, so opening
the lid more at the front would probably be okay).

The higher-end Weber "Summit" models (the Summit Silver
C and Gold D) have a "smoker-burner" that puts out 20%
less heat. You might look at those.

Thank you, Blair.
The ones at Academy had a higher side mounted
smoker on one end that was much bigger, but
I don't remember the brand name.
With the size of fish down here we'll be catching,
the size of the smoker will be crucial after the
freezer is filled.
I also want to try and make my own Andouille sausage.


We'll be doing some more looking and probably
won't get one until after Christmas.
