-The Price: in the US you get the equipment at a fair price. In this country still have 2.7% duty and 19% import VAT will be added and transport costs and extensive marketing. Knapp 500.- Euro are a lot of money - but in the extensive application possibilities you get here is a good multi-purpose device in decent quality.
-The Quality: actually typical USA. Beautiful design, sophisticated details and designed for long service life. Had Weber "Made in Germany", even the little things would be of higher quality. Hinges, screw connections, deburring of castings - all you take is not as accurate at Weber. I've come to terms with - but basically annoys me the in the price range. The summit is this "Weber Shield", behind which to hide his (max 5kg) gas cylinder. A wabbeliges plastic sheet, which is also mounted on the frame still underground bad. The main thing is that branding is clearly visible.
Technique and handling: here is really nothing to complain about. The grill is ready for use jiffy and in 10 minutes on full heat. With practice, you can quickly assess which setting the gas regulator that temperature is reached.
After grilling allows you to grill still running on full heat for 10 minutes and can remove the charred remains effortlessly from rust. Every now and then a "bigger" cleaning in which you can easily expand the burner - then you have long some of the device.
Accessories: the only accessory, in which so far justifies "original Weber", are the premium cover (for the fit) and the Weber handle light that turns on when you open yourself. Everything else you can also easily buy from other manufacturers. Not imagine the pizza stone and a ceramic grill plate for me. With this accessory you can really prepare many different dishes on the grill. And, as mentioned, in every season.
Everyone knows how the kitchen smells like the meatballs-sizzle - all that we have all year shifted outside - and for that we love this barbecue.
Tips: the first barbecue attempts can sometimes frustrate a bit. One can not properly assess the temperatures, the grilled food often sticks to the grate (the care of itself over time by itself) and constantly makes you wonder how long may keep the gas bottle yet.
The numerous books of Weber BBQ are a great help, especially for beginners. To broil halfway relaxed, you should read a bit before the "Weber-BBQ". In addition, more should be a second gas bottle available, so you do not have to go to the hardware store in the middle. Finally, you need some form of timer when the first steaks should not be completely through.
All in all, I can recommend the BBQ unreservedly. He does exactly what he is and is highly versatile.
