The Best

I grill almost everyday in summer and quite a bit even in the winter. So I tend to be a bit hard on my grills and I had never really spent much on my grills and I replace every 2-4 years. This time around though, I fell in love with some of the newer stainless steel grills out there and on some of them it appears that you get more than from Weber: more grilling space, or more BTUs, or just bigger. So I decided to go digging a bit.

I checked consumer reports and this Weber grill is rated the #1 grill out there for the following reasons:

a) very even heating
b) quick heating
c) very solid construction
d) low propensity for flareups

Consumer reports brought out some of the more glaring shortfalls to other grills that were not easily apparent then blinded by all that stainless steel at the local warehouse store. Armed with some consumer reports data I went back to the local stores that have these grills and I started to see what they were saying: plastic where Weber was aluminium, solid doors vs thin with empty backing, open cabinets where Weber has fully enclosed cabinet, cast steel casing where Weber's is Aluminium. Try as I might, I couldn't find the exact model I wanted so after much deliberation I bought the Webber Genesis S-310 from Amazon. I always order from Amazon but I was a bit hesitant to order due to a review of someone getting a dented grill. But since I really wanted the S-310 and I trust Amazon, I went ahead and ordered and everything arrived perfect (Thank you Amazon and Eagle - whoever you are).

The Bad:
1) It arrived in a box factory disassembled into a bunch of parts

The Good:
1) It was very well packaged in the box (additionally, most stainless parts had a plastic film to keep from scratching)
2) It shipped and arrived very quickly (within 3 days of ordering - standard shipping)
3) No dings or scratches on the grill or even on the box (Eagle did a great job on this one)
4) The fact that the grill was disassembled - which allowed me to get to know the grill as I assembled it and raelly appreciate the construction
5) Instructions were clear
6) I have to say that in putting this grill together took about one hour of work and it really had me appreciate the strength of Weber's construction on this product. Its frankly amazing how well constructed this grill is.
7) Construction of this grill is made of stainless steel and cast aluminium with plastic only in the wheels (which are very tough), hose, knobs and a couple of small fittings.
8) The undercarriage is enclosed on all four sides with gorgeous stainless doors which are thick and fully whose back is also stainless.
9)Many details were taken into account, there are adjustments so that the knobs are fully centered.
10) There's a chain to hold a lighting match and the lighting hole is neatly placed on the front right corner of the grill although the grill has electronic ignition.
11) The temperature guage was placed in the front center of the grill and is large and easy to see.
12) The knobs are located on top of the grill which is fantastic if you have small children. It makes it much harder for children to reach the knobs and turn them
13) It doesn't come with a tank (I have 3 so that wasn't a problem)
14) Comes with a drip pan
15) It doesn't have brickettes but comes with very highly angled triangular baffles to cover the burners...the angle of the baffles lessens the likelihood of flareups because grease falls down before it catches on fire
16) Very good warranty on all materials and workmanship
17) It has a tank measure so you know when you're low on propane
18) This grill gets hot. I turned it on high and turned around for a few minutes and it was up to 650 degrees and the flavorizer bars were glowing bright red hot....wow -- never had a grill do that before!
19) Very even heating. The burners run left to right on this grill vs front to back. Always in the past, I've had a problem with the back of my grill being hotter than the front. With this grill the heating is more even. There are pros and cons of left to right arrangement of burners vs front to back and probably beyond this review just be aware potential buyer --- left to right works very well for me and I find I can do indirect cooking nicely too.

Grilling with this product is fantastic. This is the best grill I have ever owned and I'm glad I own a Weber Genesis S-310. You might find cheaper grills or bigger grills for the same money or higher BTUs but overall, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a "better grill" out there.

I was apprehensive at ordering such a large product from Amazon but amazed at how fast I got it and the store perfect condition it arrived in. One very happy Weber Owner and Amazon shopper.

excellent product

From delivery through assembly and finally cooking, I am thrilled with the S-310 Genesis. It was delivered on time and they put it exactly where I asked them (EGL) to. Unpacking and assembly took a total of 2&1/2 hours and to my surprise every screw, bolt and rack lined up and fit perfectly. Fires up and cooks great. Definetely a top shelf grill for the money.

WELL worth it

The box is big and heavy; have it delivered to where you're going to assemble the grill.
After assembly it rolls easy but keep in mind the depth of the grill and the size of your doorways (if you assemble it indoors) it was snug for me...

Illustrations are not perfect. I had issues already in step 1. All pieces are to be attached in step 1, not as it looks in the picture. The colorings of the machine screws in the pictures were not correct. I imagined the finished grill and used the screws I'd like to see and in a pattern not disturbing my eye.

Very basic home tools are needed. A ratchet set REALLY helps. With the provided tool it would have taken close to twice the time. Took 2+ hours for me and I was going slow on purpose.

I was VERY impressed by the fit and quality of all the pieces!

The finished product is AMASING! I was a bit weary spending this kind of money on a grill but knew it was worth it before the first use! What a finish!

Best grill I have ever used! Easy to use (start on low heat (1/4-1/2), it gets very hot) and easy to clean, I love it!

I also got the Weber Genesis cover and the handle light to protect my investment and make it even more enjoyable and easy to use. Both accessories are a perfect fit and I feel good investments!

Love this grill but NOT the only grill cover Weber makes for it...

The grill is tops but the only cover that goes with it really sucks. Weber only makes one cover for this grill and the position of the "air vents" allows water to pour down right on top of the knobs and side table. Probably the worse place they could have put the vents. They used to be on the back where they SHOULD be.
It is pollen time here in Atlanta and the rain along with the pollen going through makes for a yellow pasty mess! Weber needs to go back to the drawing board on the cover! Such a great grill!~ The directions for putting it together were almost comical...no words, just pictures. What took 3 hours could have taken about an hour.

UPDATE: 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE:
GRILL IS FANTASTIC BUT COVER IS SO CRAPPY THAT NICE SHINY STAINLESS IS NOW SPOTTED AND FILTHY.
I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE PLAIN OLD BLACK ONE HAD I KNOWN THE ONLY COVER YOU CAN GET FOR THIS LETS THE ELEMENTS IN. WHY PAY FOR STAINLESS WHEN YOU CAN'T KEEP IT NICE.

Great Weber

A very good grill. Solid Weber design, great even heating. Also a good size, some of the newer grills are just getting too large for normal everyday use. We aren't trying to cook for the entire county. We also went without the side-burner - didn't think we we use it so why pay the extra $80 (approx) bucks.

Delivery was as promised, but it is a big box. We had the driver drop the box in the garage and assembly took about an hour. Be sure to layout the parts and particularly layout the nuts and bolts and then identify by their code letter - this will help your assembly tremendously.

Very pleased even though some of the instruction's pictures weren't very clear. Apparently, Weber was afraid to use "words" in the assembly instructions and some narrative to accompany the pictures would have been helpful.
