These Weber grills can get quite pricey and I am sure they are worth it, but I couldn't spend that much so I got this one.
I am 66 so you can imagine I have had a few grills, some charcoal and some gas. My last gas one didn't last very well so I used it for a couple of seasons as a charcoal but it didn't have the right air flow, it wasn't designed for that.
I never have had a Weber, always opted for a cheaper grill and in doing so probably wasted a lot of money. This time I went for the weber and it wasn't so bad price wise and at the time they HD offered free shipping.
The grill is very easy to regulate the temperature from a slow smoke to a sizzling steak. I usually plan to grill about 3 things as to not waste charcoall. Yesterday I slow cooked a chicken breast for my wife and then cranked up the heat for my steak. I can take chicken or sausage out of the freezer and put it on the cool side until they defrost and then finish up on the hot side. I got the split grill, worth the money, you don't have to take the grill off to adjust the coals or to add if need be. So we got lunch, chicken for salads and sausage for the morning and onion and pepper sandwhichs, could have done more, the grill is really effiecient.
I am not sure what the more expensive grills offer but I am quite happy with what this does and it wasn't as much as a gas grill from Walmart(which is what I did last time), gas still has its place for something quick, but I can live without it for the great flavor you get from charcoal.
I didn't know what they meant by one touch system. It has a clever contraption for cleaning out the ash, you wiggle this lever and the ash falls into the tray so you can dispose of it, works great.
There is nothing about this grill that I dislike, should have bought one of these years ago.
