Default Weber grills?

Looking at a 22.5"... my old smokey finally rusted out. How is the durability? How good does it retain its heat?

My dad has a Weber grill that he bought in 96. He has had to replace the burners once and that's it. It is by far the best gas grill I have ever cooked on.

I have country style ribs on my 14 in table top weber right now at toledo bend state park. I use to have the 14 in smokey. went thru them every few yrs. been having the weber for 8 yrs and counting. Only problem is not as much lid height as a smokey. PS damn fish aren't cooperating been dodging storms and high winds. Good news the winds layed down and the green light is itching to get drowned.

Weber is a good choice. I can't remember how old mine is, at least 10 years and the only thing I changed were the grills. It has chips in the porcelain here and there from "other people" not being careful with my cover, but they aren't even rusted through. Oh, and i made new wooden handles when I needed to, I see they come with plastic/synthetic handles now. Mine's charcoal. I have another gas grill for that emergency BBQ urge, but I'll probably always have a Weber for the backyard for serious grillin. Now, having said that, if you want a grill to bring around to camping/parks/picnics, etc, then go with the Smokey, it's a lot easier to drag around and also good value. And Smokey makes an awesome smoker, that if you keep it in dry storage also lasts a long time.

Get another Smokey, the Webers are nice, but IMO, the food from the Smokey has more flavor.

Weber does make an awesome gas grill
