I bought a Napoleon grill (natural gas) 7 years ago and it’s awesome!

I have had a Weber Genesis, 3 burner with the side burner, for 5-6 years. It’s great, but I’m thinking about switching to charcoal. I just bought my girlfriend a Big Green Egg for her birthday, and we’ve been grilling on it 1-2 times a week for the past month. I just think the Egg makes food taste better. I’ve made some incredible filets on it, cooking on indirect heat using a digital temp probe, and then finishing off a sear on a cast iron skillet with herb butter. It’s marginally more work to get a fire started, and it requires a bit of cleaning, but the charcoal lasts 2-3 cooks and now I can get it up to 400 degrees in around 15 minutes. Definitely not as convenient as gas, but I can’t argue with the results and flavor. I’m thinking about replacing my Genesis with it. My patio area isn’t that big, and the bonus is that the BGE has a very small footprint.

I bought a stainless Weber Genesis back in 2008. It lives outside for 3 seasons and winters in my screenhouse, where it is still in use. The frame is completely rotted and crumbled, held up in one corner by bricks, and the doors had to be removed because the brackets hinging them rotted away. It's really bad and takes 2 people to carry to its seasonal location in the yard.
The table tops, grates, valves and actual grill structure are still perfect.
I'm conflicted whether to rebuild the insides with new burners and flavorizing bars or just throw the whole thing away and buy a new charbroil for the next few years until we retire and move away, knowing that the charbroil won't be worth taking with us by then.

I had 2 Weber’s, last one being a larger stainless genesis, the frame rusted out and the door hinges rusted right off.
The grill itself was always good but the frame it sits on is terrible.

Just did a built in DCS series 9 and it’s a beast. More grill than my skills deserve.
