I am a frequent griller and have 4 grills at different locations. Just got this one. It is a big step up from the Genesis it replaced. Ignition is very good, overall heating is pretty uniform. Lots of storage space. The only thing  I would change is the ways the doors shut. There should be stronger magnets or a way to lock the doors closed so that they don't open in a string wind. Bring on the food, with this great tool, i am ready for a crowd.
