2008 Weber Genesis - Rusted out

by Fred Rossiter
(Cape Coral, Florida)

Bought a Genesis in April 2008 with stainless top and painted cabinet. I have left this grill outside, uncovered, next to the pool in SW Florida. I bought stainless so it would hold up to the elements. It hasn't. After just 3 years, the cabinet is rusting out and all the fittings are rusted. The floor of the cabinet has a hole in it. Even the stinless top has rust. The handle shows galvanic corrision. I bought a Weber because I don't want to have to treat a Bar BQ grill like a piece of fine furniture. I thought it would hold up and it didn't. This was my 2nd Weber and it has been a real disappointment. My $800 investment is lost. I will not buy one of these Webers again.
