Buying First Propane Grill - Have Some Questions?
So we decided to get a Weber grill but have questions about some of the differences between different models of Weber grills. I checked Weber’s website and they have no information about the following::
1. One type of grill has a “crossover” ignition, while the other type has an “electronic crossover” ignition. What’s a “crossover ignition” and what’s the difference between the two different types of ignitions?
2. One grill has porcelain enameled cooking grates, while the other has porcelain coated cast iron. When the grill has porcelain enameled cooking grates, what material does the porcelain enamel cover?
3. Is a sideburner worth the extra cost?
Thanks for the help.

crossover ignition just means that one burner can be lit by the flame of the other. electronic crossover has an electronic igniter for each burner.
porcelain enamel, unlessotherwise stated, is probably over steel.
and, i rarely use my side burner. unless there is no wind, they are very fussy, and the unsheltered flame tends to blow out.
You got the answers to crossover & porcelain. I have a sideburner on mine but have never used it– it’s more of a gimmick that really useful
1. Don’t know. But once it breaks you can light it with a long butane lighter.
2. Steel.
3. Depends on what you want to cook. If you want to prepare a side dish or a sauce without running in and out of the house to tend two different cooking stations, get one. If you can’t imagine what you would use it for, don’t get it.
