This grill is fantastic!! I decided to build it myself, and I’m glad I did. Doing it myself allowed me to be acquainted with the parts in a way I wouldn’t have otherwise if it had been pre-built. It wasn’t difficult, but a bit time consuming. As some said, you can lighten the load by cutting away packing material and opening the lid in the box. First, we cut off a side of the box and folded it down, so instead of having to lift up anything, we could just slide it out. Next, we took out various things packed in the grill box itself that lightened the load considerably. Then the main grill just slid out.
The directions are pictorial, but understandable. At various times, a second person can help, not so much for weight but for holding pieces in place while you screw something in. It wasn’t too difficult and the end result is very nice.
My first project was grilled peppers — piece o’ cake! The came out beautifully. The grill gets screaming hot very fast — that’s great. The peppers were done in record time. Next, I tried a filet mignon. Wow! Following Weber Chef Jack Ovens directions this was the best steak I’ve ever cooked in my life. I did use the Weber iGrill 2 thermometer connection and I’m glad I did…the filet was at 125 very quickly, much sooner than I would have thought. I pulled it off the grill and it was perfect! Did I say I love this grill?
The next project was chicken on a rotisserie, an accessory I also purchased. Works great! Grill heats evenly and heats up again quickly when the lid has been opened. The temperature gauge on the cover is great, front and center and is really useful. Cleaning is straight forward, and the "flavorizers" deflect grease to a catch pan - nicely done. This is the best grill I’ve every owned, and I recommend it highly.
