Probably not the "most" durable - but with minimal maintenance, I have enjoyed my Webers for many years.

After my Weber Genesis rusted out (had it covered and under a roof) I got a four burner stainless steel Nextgrill with side burner.
That has lasted twice as long as the Weber (8 years now) and it was half the price. |

We've had a Weber Q for over ten years, haven't replaced anything but the igniter.
All aluminum housing and caste iron grate. Two fold out shelves. Not Tier 1, but we've been happy with it. |

I really tried to find a made in the USA grill for around $1k but I had to spend a good bit more to do so and that's ridiculous. The 4 burner CharBroil I have is on its last legs but is 5 or 6 years old and was only $350. Partial stainless and frame is carbon steel. The bottom is going but really nothing wrong with frame and lid. Surprised.

Fwiw, I am 15+ yrs on a $399 Charbroil from Lowe's. Stainless, covered when not in use. Only parts changed are the burners once. Probably do the grates this year.
And yes I use it pretty regularly too. Maybe I just found a diamond in the rough. Ymmv. |

I have two Weber Genesis 310s. The second one came with the house we bought a few years ago. Both have held up to the Michigan weather very well.
I've had mine since 2009, and it is used at least once a week during the warmer months. Very little rust outside, and the grates have held up well. I'd rate its condition at 8.5/10. The one that came with the house is the same age. It is hard-plumbed to the natural gas line, but the idiot previous owner didn't re-jet it. He told me it was slow to warm up and never got that hot (duh). The entire inside looked like it was coated with tar from years of cooking at 400-450°. I drilled out the jets and then it got to the proper temperature. Before I adjusted/tuned it, I let it run full-blast and it buried the temperature needle (700°). It smoked like crazy, but after an hour or two everything was burned off and it was good as new. Just like running a self-cleaning oven. Both grills are in great shape. I fully expect at least another 10 years out of them. Of course, it should go without saying, both grills are protected by quality covers. |

This is made in the USA. This is 100% stainless including the burners. The burners are cast stainless and not tubes. The construction is not from flimsy 22 or 24 gage sheet. If not mistake it’s 16 gage. This should be the last gas grill you buy. Mine is 12 years old and the only part I’ve replaced is the ignitor. I know people whose grill are 20 years old and they have replace nothing. Edit. They have dealers in Texas. |

I lived in the same area so that variable didn't come into play. I agree though. Weather, covers, and type of cooking certainly come into play. I think the cheap route will be more cost effective in the long run. |

Don't cover them. Humidity inside the cover causes rust.

I bought a Vermont Castings VM400 back in 2005. 16 years later, it's still our grill, and it gets used several times a week.
I replace the heat plates every couple of years (they're cheap), I've replaced the burners once, and I've replaced the grates once. I may have replaced the grease catcher tray once. I don't remember. It was $400 new. You don't need to spend a ton. |

Doesn’t help, but I bought a pellet grill past June and haven’t used my Weber propane grill once. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to one.
Need to clean it up and sell it. It’s a cheaper model. About 6 years old and only had to replace the flavor bars. |

The generic covers make about two years, this Weber cover is going on year five now. It is the the wind that does them in around here. Right before the warranty ran out I called Weber and had them ship warranty replacements for all the burners, tubes, and drip shields. So the inside is all new except for the grates, but those are in good shape still. |

Some of us also know when to call a rotted out tub of shit a rotted out tub of shit. Replacing an entire base/cart and other components of a $400.00 grill isn’t exactly basic maintenance or simple available parts. But then again I realize that reading comprehension isn’t a requirement here in GD. |

I really like my 7yo Genesis, but moving it around sucks. No side handles, and DON'T grab those side shelves to move it, you'll bend the shit outta them.
I have a 1/4" step from the garage floor to the settled apron, and there isn't a good way to handle that grill with its tiny wheels and heavy weight. |

Quoted: Not looking for anything huge, just something built to last without breaking the bank. Just tossed my Weber Genesis 2 burner in the scrap pile as the cooking grates and the base had both rotted out. I have a small Lodge cast iron Hibachi, small and extra large Green Eggs so don’t tell me to get a charcoal grill. So, anyone have a suggestion?? I’m all ears... My first Weber grill , an old 2 burner lasted me an honest 30 years . I replaced the burners once in those 30 years..... around the 20 year mark I think. It was not that expensive and easy to do. Cooking grates and flavor bars do rust out. I replaced my flavor bars probably 5 times in those 30 years and my cooking grate once..... purchased stainless replacement for the cooking grates. I have only owned Webers for gas grills but I am sure others rust out at the same rate. That's why on my new Weber grill I upgraded to all stainless. I purchased a new Genesis 310 2 years ago to replace my 30 year old Weber. It was a great grill. The base as you say loosened up on my old grill too. It wasn't that the steel tubing rusted it was the fastener that that joined the tubes together that rusted out. It was an easy fix. That old grill of mine went through PA winters setting out on an open deck. For several years it went uncovered. A few years ago I gutted it and removed the burners etc. and used it as a charcoal grill. For Christmas my children gifted me a nice charcoal/wood fired set up so as I type this, that old Weber is retired. It is setting next to the garage waiting for me to take it apart and recycle it. I feel like I should have a proper funeral for it. So, just get a Weber Genesis , upgrade to SS, keep it covered and enjoy it for decades. Weber all the way!  IMG_1969 by R A, on Flickr  IMG_1970 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/136058076@N03/]So, here is my old Weber. Sitting here thinking, it is about 38 years old !!! I purchased it the year my daughter was born. Time just zips by. I started to strip it down for recycling. I'll at least have to raise a glass to it ! I remember I paid $350.00 when I purchased it. |
