^^^ this. I love my charcoal but what gets most usage at my house, and by that I mean almost daily in the summer and 3x a week in cold weather is my gasser. I was working from home Monday and took a break to get dinner prepping. Had some tomatoes on the counter that needed to do something so elected to make chicken Tinga tostadas. Popped those whole tomatoes on the gasser to char a bit before prepping the other stuff and I was back at my computer in the time I took for lunch - in addition to actually make my my lunch! I really wouldn’t have done this on coals, although the flavor would be awesome, because it was a spur of the moment thing. I turned the grill on then turned it off when I was done.
I have had this Genesis for nearly 20 years. Prior to having it, we had owned several gas grills and we would only get a couple years out of them. If it were to get sucked away in a tornado tomorrow - And despite extensive searching I could not locate it- I would go out and buy another in a heartbeat. I buy replacement flavorizers about every 3-4 years or so.
Because I have some experience with them, I’d be inclined to replace it with a used one if I could find one fast enough. But if not, I’d go buy a new Weber gasser in my favorite color and post proud momma photos on my Facebook. Lol.
