Which is better for a large family cookout?

The Napoleon Rogue 525. Its four burners plus side burner give more separate heat zones than the Weber's three.

The Napoleon's stainless steel body resists rust better in wet climates. The Weber's enameled steel holds up well but can chip. Both depend on cover and care.

Is the Napoleon worth the extra money?

Yes if you want a rotisserie, a side burner and propane. At its recent $539.40 to $563.40 range it costs more than the Weber's $267.67 low but less than its $799.00 high.

Can I use the Weber with a propane tank?

No. The Genesis E-315 is set up for natural gas only. Choose the Napoleon if you need propane.

Which has more cooking space?

Close. The Napoleon's main grate is about 525 sq in against roughly 513 sq in on the Weber, and the Napoleon adds a side burner.

Which is easier to fit on a small patio?

The Napoleon. It is 56 inches wide and 25 inches deep, versus 62 by 27 inches for the Weber.
