5 STARS! - FANTASTIC GRILL! Oct 29, 2007
By Curtis Bard
"c.bard"
I purchased the Weber Genesis 320 (with Copper finish) and it is great. All of the Weber Genesis grills get excellent ratings of about 4.5 to 5 stars on various Web sites. If you like grilling then this is the grill for you. My old Coleman was pretty sturdy but the bottom area of the stand rusted out after several years (we grill all year long - even in on bad winter days), and it had very uneven heating.
If you look at the various comments about these Genesis grills you will see that except for a couple very isolated and unusual situations people love them. Almost every owner agrees that they get hotter, hot quicker, are easier to use, and get excellent results more often than almost any other grill.
The stainless surfaces help prevent rust and last longer, and the outer surfaces cleanup well. Greased lightning works well to clean the grates & inner surfaces, and a little WD-40 or silicon spray rubbed on, helps keep the outer stainless surfaces looking good.
You can never trust the various propane gauges that are on the market (I tried them). This grill has a nice feature in that the propane tank actually sits on a little scale! Since the weight is a reliable measure of the tanks fullness, this works well.
Do yourself a big favor and buy excellent cuts of meat for your grilling experiences with this grill. (Like 1" to 1.5" T-Bone or Porterhouse.) Because it gets so hot (our's went to 550 in no time), this grill really shines with thicker, better cuts. Also it is a good idea to use a seasoning or a barbecue sauce (We like "[...] Rub" and "Mississippi Sauce" or "Baby Ray Original" sauce.
I haven't had too much experience with them, but Weber appears to be a great company for customer service, and warranty work (25 year warranty for some parts). I'm told that the beer can chicken cooker (costs only $[...] - & made by a different company) works great with this cooker (but I haven't tried mine yet.) You can also get vegetable pans.
The thermometer is very helpful for good grilling, and if you get a $[...] roast holder, you can even cook beef and other roasts in this grill. I think the actual grilling area is perfectly sized - you can keep the higher warming rack in the grill at all times, if you wish, because it doesn't get in the way like with some other grills. The three burners allow you to cook directly, or indirectly like in an oven, by turning one off.
There are 2 little disadvantages that these grills have. This model has the 3 control knobs on the right top which prevents you from using that side to put a plate (the "S" series has them in the front). And it has a grease dripping pan that some reviewers say will catch on fire when you get the grill real hot; so clean it often.
I think that about covers everything! This grill is so easy to use, you're going to really enjoy it. Weber provides good cooking tips, a small cookbook, and has an on-line free service where, if you sign up, they will send you different recipes every so often. Save a few bucks by buying any Weber accessories you might want from your local Home Depot, Sears, True Value, or Lowes store, instead of directly from Weber. And - Wait for FREE shipping.

Rated #1 Consumer Reports - June 2007 May 19, 2007
By Shawn

Works Great! Looks Great! We didn't go with the cover. The exterior holds up great without one; summer and winter. Easy to put together too. The E-310 is the same thing without the side grill.

Excellent! Sep 01, 2007
By ehymel
I now understand why owners of Weber grills are always so pleased. I bought the cover to go with, not sure if it's needed or not but I figured if I'm spending this much on a grill then why not protect it. It cooks very well, heats up quickly, no hot or cold spots. I use it about once of twice a week for about 5 months now and could not be happier.

Excellent BBQ Jul 17, 2007
By BDJazz
This unit was a pleasure to build. The BBQ is made extremely well and I'm sure it will last for years. Cooks very evenly...no hot spots that I have found yet.
