The problem is the burners. They're going to disintegrate with the heat even if they're stainless.

Webers up to $1000 used to be real quality... until they started making them outta scrap iron recyclables sent back here from China. Pretty much like a WalMart special....and yes I own the Weber. Not impressed anymore.

I have a Weber, and I rebuild it about every 3 years. I get junk parts from amazon.

Not impressed anymore. Agree. Didn't have a weber before....but I have a G2 4 burner now and it's not head and shoulders ahead of the Kenmore cheapie I had. Mine is so cold burning they had to and an extra "sear" burner on the newer ones. I will probably look for something else next time.

Anyone just fabricate their own gas grill? (Not a Hanco style mobile bbq, a back porch type of grill)

I have a Weber Genesis 3 burner. It is used often year around mostly to grill vegetables. It is 5 or 6 years old nothing burned out or burned through. The burners burn out of small brass nozzles.

I’ve yet to find any bbq grill that lasts as long as I believe they should but with that said I’ve had the best performance and longevity from a 5 burner Vermont Castings stainless. The second best was Weber but it didn’t last as long. For the money I’m going back to the “Charbroil” class of grills since they last almost as long as a Weber and are 1/3 the price. Performance wise the Vermont Castings was king. The Weber we have now isn’t bad but I think you’re paying a 100%++ premium for the name. The burners are the weak link in ALL grills and they WILL deteriorate over time. Up here in the Pacific North-Wet rain and moisture is ever present so in dryer climates you’ll probably get a longer service life out of the burners.
Good luck.

MHP "Optimum Series"... bought a 40" wide 4 burner unit about 20 yrs ago... still going strong... had to buy 4 of them to get a wholesale price, retailed the other 3 to get mine for free... buy plenty of spare burners... don't know if they still make these?...

Good luck. Meh, the Charbroils only last me 2 years, 3 if I suffer them. How long do Webers last for you? What are the fireboxes on the Vermont's made off?

I bought a weber, based on my previous weber, I rust protected the inside corners of the base and bought a set of spare stainless steel burners.
I don't know that its the best but I've owned a few grills over the years and Weber lasts longer than the cheap box store ones
A guy in the office swears by Traeger but I looked at their prices, I can't see how they are worth what they are asking
