Why is this Weber grill $899.99?

Doesn't come with a tank and no place to store it inside, just off on the side burner side behind the panel on the right. Thus is like a $300-$400 grill. What am I missing?

a is no burner with $899.99?

Doesn't on

Part of the reason I donโ€™t like propane grills

Brand selling cheap junk and premium prices. I never buy Weber. Napoleon is where it's at and cheaper.

A tankโ€ฆ

Because it is a brand new weber. I bought my Vermont Castings Grill second hand, best grill of all time

maybe you're suppose to connect it into your gas line?

Because shiny โœจ

Charcoal.

Having bought many grills in my life and including Weber's, I can tell you, I think.

First, you're paying for the name. You can get the same quality elsewhere if you look hard enough (and get a little lucky) for less money.

But secondly, you are paying for quality. Weber's higher-end stuff is actually extremely well made, very durable, and will last a long time. I owned one of the old iconic red Weber grills and it worked perfectly for 20 years.

But don't buy their cheap stuff because you can buy the same level stuff for half the price. It will not last and is basically the same thing as the char broils and the other low end grills.

So that's probably a nice grill and you can probably buy as nice a grill for a couple hundred dollars less if you do the work.

I have a commercial series dual fuel Char-Broil with the same number of burners and similar size grilling area with rotisserie. These go new for about 50-60% the cost of the Weber.

Luckily I got mine used, cleaned it up, replaced consumable components and stuff that was rusting apart. I'll keep using it till I get tempted to buy something new. I've probably spent about $180 to $200 total on it

This is another great point. You can get spare parts for the Charbroil for reasonable price. The low-end webbers, just to get a set of burners is going to cost about the same that a new grill would. And I didn't mean to say that my char broil comment in the earlier post was a diss to them. They make good, generally cheaper grills. I'm sure they have some high-end stuff too.

I think this grill connects to a natural gas line. I have a smaller one that does the same.

Haha, man, you've got a better idea than Weber's fire! But don't be disheartened if the grill's price-performance ratio makes you doubt your life! Just think, if you got a new yacht, it would be a real floating paradise! At that time, you can set up a grill on the deck, while watching the sea while counting, maybe even catch a โ€œfishโ€ to help you pay the bill! Doesn't this yacht feel more inviting than a grill? ๐Ÿ˜‰
