We bought the Weber Genesis B Silver exactly a year ago. We love it.
I'd also suggest a spare tank. We always keep two (one on the grill and
one filled spare) because nothing is worse than running out midway!
A grill cover helps keep the grill nice looking.

Excellent choice. But did you order a meat grinder... I hope you're
not going to contaminate your nice new grill with burgers made from
mystery meat.

It is probably a good time for you to tell us again which grinder you
recommend and why?
I'm debating replacing my Oster kitchen Center (stand mixer, bread
kneader,chopper, slicer, grinder, pasta maker, yada yada yada) because
after 20 years (and a few years in probably hot military storage) the
transmission seems to slip at times (annoying, but functional yet)and
I've been debating if I want another "center" type appliance (Kitchen
Aide? Oster?) or the desired individual small appliances? So I might be
in the market for a stand alone grinder......

Love to hear the story behind that one. Sounds like midget porn!

Anyway, check over your Weber when you get it. Unfortunately, when I
ordered my WSM from Amazon, it came damaged. Amazon advised to call
Weber.

They were outstainding. The bottom vents were really bent as the
cardboards spacers and stays weren't in place when they shipped,
probably from Weber. No problem says the Weber customer service.
We'll send another. OK!

So I unpacked the rest of it, and sliced my finder on a porcelain edge
that had been scratched across something to make the whole bottom rim
of the lid exposed and with sharp little glassy teeth.

Called Weber CS again. I told them what had happened, they were
familiar with the problem as something changed in their assembly line/
manufacturing/handling procedures. They sent me a new top as well.

They told me that if I had any more problems, just let them know and
they would do their best to make them right.

I couldn't be happier with them or their product.

OOC, how satisfied have you been with the mixer? For mixing/bread, that is.
I'm just curious because I've never used one like that, only my KA which is
about 20 years old too and for which I have many of the attachments. Love
my KA!

I don't like to buy any all in one machines, none of the components
work really well, and when a major component dies you lose everything.

I like my Waring Pro... you can buy a lot more grinder for a lot more
money but for home use this is perfect, and produces a professional
grind. The smaller Waring Pro I think is too small.

This is an excellent price, same as I paid a few years ago.:

Let me know if this is still true ... I've put together many a grill, the
ex-cheapos, and I had to assemble the gas burner parts. The business
end of the gas grill. The Weber was assembled right out of the box.
Just put it in there and make the connection. Made putting the grill
together a breeze.

And all these years later, the cart isn't even a little wobbly.

In the world of grilling, that thing is far from deserving the
moniker, Genesis. It would be far more fitting if it were named after
one of the minor prophets like Zephaniah or Nahum. Gas grills are
fine, as long as they aren't used as a substitute for a decent
charcoal/wood grill, like a Weber Kettle. Gas grills are great for
use in crappy weather, and for grilling veggies, and other stuff you
don't want smoky.

If I could only have one grilling appliance, it would be a Weber
Kettle.
Wait...I do only have one grilling appliance, and it is a Weber
Kettle. I'd love to have an offset smoker as well, and I did buy a
gas grill a few years ago (because it was practically free), but I
never hooked up propane to it. Maybe I will soon.

And yesterday the noxious one complained about grinding porterhouse
and rocket science... this from Mr Negativity who thinks cheap-assed
ground packer grade brisket is steak tartar.
