    This is her wish list for the BBQ(its her bday on the 19 and this is what she wants)
    1. Side burner for things like bacon or asparagus while meat on egg and such. 

    2. 4 or more burners. She's a sear on one side of the bbq then move to indirect heat on the other for almost all she cooks on it. So the size is not to cook more stuff at once it's to allow her to continue to shift food back and forth. 

    3. It has to have decent wheels as I have to move it 10 to 15 feet to move it fror where we cook to where it will be stored in a lean too shed. 

    4. It has to look alright. 

    5. Even heat front to back. With the way she cooks (and gets good results) it needs to be even as it will be easier for her while she is dealling with the kidletts b4 I'm home

    I honestly think a weber Genesis would work for your needs, even tho it only has three burners. I love mine and despite lore here on the forum, they are very durable and cook perfectly. But if she needs four burners, you are talking the weber summit line:

    I have no no experience with them, but if they are as good as the cheaper Genesis, I am sure you will be pleased. Good luck.

    I have had this grill for ~5 years and its all that you ask for.  The real disadvantage this grill is it get HOT.  Before I got the egg I basically did just what your wife wants to do- two burners on for heat, two burners off for indirect.  It seems I paid $400 or so for mine so I think my options must have been different.

    If you get a Genesis 330 it has a decent side burner that has a cover so you can use it as a side table when not in use and the sear section burner which adds 10000 btu between two of the regular burners. The Summit is definitely nicer, but a few bucks more. Both great units. 

    Fwiw, if you go with the summit, give a look to getting one in black. Everyone including myself gets enamored with the SS, but the combo of the SS combined with the black enamel finish is really striking in person. I have a SS 670 social center in SS and would go with black if I did it again. Of course, it's a personal preference. 

    Good luck.
