As far as parts availability , this thing is built in the US and the company is the same as Broil King - Onward Manufacturing (Canadian Company). They're not going away anytime soon.

Webers are an excellent grill too, obviously.
I will say one thing about my Huntington (it's propane) Man does it get HOT in a hurry. And I mean HOT.
Hope that helps.
Most new Huntington's have a cast aluminum bottom and steel lid. The Broil King is the full cast aluminum head (bottom of cooker body and lid).

They used to have a Patriot series that was like the Broil King but it appears they don't make that line anymore. So I would have to retract my prior statement about the tube in tube burner. Only Broil King has that now. So you would have to go up to a Broil King to be closer to a Genesis. And they have a similar price point I think, so go with the Weber. And like stated above, the Weber will have replacement parts available for YEARS.
