- Which is better for a large family?
- The 41847NG. Its 510 sq in primary grate fits about 28 burgers against 18 on the Weber, and its 190 sq in warming rack adds more room.
- Is the Weber worth the extra money?
- The two are close in price, so it comes down to priorities. The Weber buys you a 10-year warranty and a long parts record; the 41847NG buys you 29,000 more BTU and 150 more sq in.
- Which sears hotter?
- The 41847NG has more total output at 60,000 BTU, but the Weber's Boost Burner knobs push its Sear Zone past 700 degrees, which reviewers say works well for steaks.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Weber is the safer bet on paper because of its 10-year limited warranty and widely reported sturdy build. The 41847NG has no stated warranty, so long-term support is unclear.
- Can either run on natural gas?
- Yes. The Weber comes in propane or natural gas versions. The 41847NG ships for propane and converts to natural gas with Monument kit 97352, sold separately.
- Which is easier to move and store?
- The 41847NG is shorter at 46.5 in and shallower at 24 in. The Weber is 60.5 in high and 31 in deep, but its side tables fold down.
