Weber Natural Gas Grill – Grilling At Its Best!
The Weber Natural Gas Grill is a more advanced and updated version of an outdoor grill. The Summit grill, Genesis grill and Spirit grills are the three current natural gas models that Weber has on their product line. The company has always made popular products for grilling enthusiasts. But first we will discuss a little about their history.
Weber was founded in 1893 but it wasn’t until 1952 when George Stephen (a backyard griller) introduced the first grill with a lid on top to keep out wind and rain. This gave his steaks a consistant flame to cook over in any type of weather. This invention was called, “George’s Barbeque Kettle”, which was a dome shaped grill with a rounded lid on top. Weber is now the leading maker of barbecue grills today.
Weber released its first line Genesis grill in 1985. Because of the great quality of this grill, the Weber genisis grill is still around today. This model is 637 sq. inches of total cooking area, has stainless steel flavorizer bars and comes in two different models.
The Weber Spirit grill is the smallest of the gas grills. It has a total cooking area of 536 sq. inches and has porcelain enameled cooking grates instead of stainless steel cooking grates like the others.
Currently, the Weber Summit grill is considered second to none. The features include extra cooking shelves, easy ignition, easy to clean surfaces, multiple temperature controls, and many add on features. It also includes a 12,000 BTU flush mounted side burner. One of the best features of the Summit grill is the “Tuck Away” rotisserie spit add on which is great for cooking chicken. The Summit has a total cooking area of 769 sq. inches and is great to have if you want to cook for a large group of people.

With a Weber natural gas grill you won’t have to worry about running out of propane or charcoal. Also, propane tanks can be heavy even though the use of propane is an option in these grills. The use of charcoal can be messy at times. These types of grills also make things a little easier by providing matchless ignition, extra side burners and a continual flow of fuel anytime you need it and for as long as you need it as well.
