Although I've never owned a Weber gas grill, I can give some perspective from NOT buying a Weber gas grill. I was given on Father's day a Char Broil gas grill I guess about 10 years ago, so it has some sentimental value - especially now that the kids are grown and out of the nest. While it hasn't been the best or the worst, over the years I have given Char Broil quite a bit of money just to keep it going. I have replaced most every part that's not stainless steel except for the firebox and it's about to rust through. Without a doubt, I've spent more on that grill than it cost in the first place - probably two times the initial cost. So, from that perspective, if I were to buy one again, I'd go with a Weber.
