The Beast arrived a little while ago. Obviously from the pic, the grills/smokers in the background, I need this MF’r like I need a hole in my head! I’ve had a couple of gas grills in the past years for the ‘hell with cranking up charcoal/quick grill’ idea, but I wanted another one...and I wanted a damn good one. I couldn’t get the previous gas grills to last more than 2-3 yrs at best, replacing burner plates, etc every year, and both were Brinkmann’s from yrs ago, built outta decent gauge metal.
This is a Weber Genesis II LX, 6-burner with the GS4 system high output/steak searing system, lighted knobs and handle lights that activate when the lid is picked up for the interior for whatcha grillin’, tank gauges, stainless grates, flavorizer bars, etc, etc. Two inches shy of 1,000 total sq inches of grilling surface. 84K total BTU’s...72K in the main, 12K on the side burner. I promise you what you see in the pics, weighs 300 lbs at least, by itself... solid as a tank! And I’ve got to add the left wing, and right 12K btu side burner wing. Little over 6 feet long when the left/right wings are attached.
Merry Christmas from me, to me...I guess! I’m gonna test the limits of this machine with its’ 10-yr warranty on some stuff, lifetime warranty on the rest. I’ll get it put together either this evening or tomorrow after work. We shall see what this thing will do fellas...I’m gonna test the hell out of it, and let’s see if the rave reviews of this machine can stand up!
Navy son and college daughter will be here tomorrow for the Christmas holidays. I’m gonna get it cleaned up and a good oiled down burn in...it’ll see action this Sat for a get together here for my son and daughter...gonna do about 75 flanken-style beef short ribs on this thing, while four seasoned, whole yardbirds smoke on the Traeger Pro 34.
