Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
No more annual overhauls, Weber's Genesis grill is built for high-performance grilling for years to come. The Genesis E-310 gas grill features an enclosed cart with stainless steel doors and handles for easy, scratch-free cleaning. A stainless steel shroud with a center-mounted thermometer is bordered with shiny, cast-aluminum end caps.
The cooking system, rated at 42,000 Btu's, includes 3 seamless stainless steel burners. For easy starts, an electronic Crossover ignition system lights all three burners in succession with the push of a button. Weber's porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate grease-fueled flare-ups that often occur with standard lava rocks and ceramic briquettes. Fats and juices are vaporized when they hit the angled bars and quickly sizzle away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor rather than cauterizing flames. Sturdy cooking grates feature 7-millimeter stainless steel rods. The primary cooking area measures 507 square inches. And, the unit's handy warming rack measures 130 square inches for a total cooking area of 637 square inches.
Other features include 6 tool holders, a precision fuel gauge, 2 stainless steel work surfaces, 2 heavy-duty front locking casters and 2 heavy-duty back swivel casters. The purchase includes a cookbook and 10-foot flexible hose, and is covered by a limited manufacturer warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Grill (Of course),
By MNGrouser (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 3741001 Genesis E-310 Propane Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio)
There's really nothing more that can be said to further the reputation of this series of grills. Those of us that own the Genesis E-310 series grill know how well this grill is manufactured, and just how very well it performs its duties. It is, by far, the very best gas grill in this price range I have ever owned or used. A couple of notes:
-The cross-over ignition system works wonderfully (it takes less than 3 seconds to fire up all three burners -Those who say that their gas grill does not get hot enough to sear meats don't own this grill- I've had it up to 550 degrees on a very cold MN winter day -That said, it seems to go through a good amount of propane when running all 3 burners on high...but that is probably obvious considering the temps you can obtain when running it on full. (It will be interesting to see if I can get 500 + degrees to sear meats on medium setting on a summer day....). The fuel gauge inside the cabinet is also a handy feature -As always with this series of grills- No Flare ups, and the flavorizer bars do what Weber says they will, namely vaporize fats and juices into smoke that adds flavor to what you are grilling -To keep this review balanced, there is one negative- I dislike the tool holders. Although there are plenty, your tools pretty much have to have one of those leather hanging loop things to keep the tools from falling off or even to use the holders (a small price to pay I guess) Finally, the Genesis E-310 I purchased came in a copper color, something I haven't seen on Amazon, or on Weber's site for that matter. Maybe I missed it, or maybe I got lucky. Either way, it looks pretty darn sharp on our deck when it isn't covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Choice of grates important,
By
This review is from: Weber 3741001 Genesis E-310 Propane Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio)
We bought this recently from a local home supply store (shipping from Amazon, even though essentially free, seemed a bit much). Works very well. Solid.
One point that needs to be made is the choice of grates. Since this is where the meat hits the road, it is an important consideration. Weber offers three choices, although that is not very apparent from this site. All offer pros and cons. The stainless steel is certainly the spiffiest looking and cleans up well. Wear is not a problem with stainless steel. Low maintenance. Likewise the porcelain covered cast iron. Not as bright as stainless. You're also supposed to use a special cleaning pad, according to the Weber instructions. I imagine that like an porcelain covered cast iron pot, the porcelain may chip over time. However, temperature is an issue with these two options. Look to a Cook's Illustrated test of gas grills. They measured the recovery time for these two types of grates as well as cast iron. For the stainless steel and porcelain covered cast iron, the recovery time was slow. This means that the grate's temperature will drop when you place the food on the grill and not recover very quickly. This could be a concern for creating a crust or carmelization. The cast iron grate is the third alternative (and the one I chose, after much searching). As the Cook's Illustrated test showed, the temperature drop for the cast iron was much less than the alternatives. This makes sense if you ever use cast iron skillets on the stove. Cast iron has some downsides. You must season it and keep seasoning it for awhile. Again, if you've ever used a new cast iron skillet on the stove, you know that while the seasoning process is a hassle at first, persistence pays off with a virtually non-stick surface after awhile. Cast iron takes a bit longer to heat up (but retains heat longer). Failure to season or leaving exposed to the elements will result in rust (not the end of the world, just wire brush it off and re-season).

Weber Genesis E-310 - Great all around gas grill,
This review is from: Weber 3741001 Genesis E-310 Propane Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio)
When it came time for me to buy a grill, I looked immediately to the Weber Genesis series, mainly because my family has always owned Webers and we've never been disappointed by them. My dad's prior Genesis grill lasted about 10 years before needing to be replaced, and likely would have lasted longer if it weren't for the harsh South Florida climate (the humid air down there is really rough on anything metal that's left outside).
I opted for the E-310 as I didn't need a side burner and didn't quite feel like paying up for the stainless steel model (which is nice, but hard to keep clean!). This is a GREAT all around grill. IMO, there's nothing worse than a cheap gas grill - they don't maintain even heat, they don't get hot enough, and they often have the heat source too close to the food. I have a feeling a lot of the charcoal snobs out there (and I admit I used to be one myself) believe so ardently in charcoal's superiority partly because they've compared it only to a cheapo gas grill - guess what, it isn't the "rich smokey flavor" that makes charcoal grills great, it's the heat (they get hotter than most of the cheaper gas grills available) and the evenness of the heat. When buying a gas grill, you DO get what you pay for - and the Weber Genesis series is worth it. My Weber will heat to 600+ degrees, maintains even heat, and the heat source is far enough from the food to limit flare ups. I've had this for about 2 weeks now and even I'm surprised how much I use it - almost every night (and THAT IMO is the main advantage of gas vs. charcoal, this thing is so convenient that I use it probably 5 times a week even though I live alone so I'm usually cooking for one). Thus far I've cooked steaks, pork chops, chicken breasts, and chicken wings on it (as well as sides like corn on the cob, asparagus, and new potatoes, all done on the grill of course), and it's ALL come out great. I'm very happy with it and I'm sure it'll only get better as the grill gets broken in and as I get more experienced using it. If I've helped convince you to spring for the E-310, there's one thing you should consider (aside from whether to go stainless steel and whether to go with a side burner - those are both personal preferences) that you may not know about: there's a choice between cast iron and stainless still grill grates. I'm pretty sure the one offered on Amazon has the cast iron. Now, in most cases I think cast iron is great for cooking (it really holds the heat in better and gives a superior sear vs. other metals), HOWEVER cast iron does not hold up very well when left outside, especially if you live in a humid climate. Also, it's harder to clean. For this reason, if you live in a humid climate I'd recommend going for the version of the E-310 that has a stainless steel grill, you can find them if you look around. You can still get that cast iron sear when you want it by simply buying a Lodge cast iron skillet or griddle (available here on Amazon for < $20) and using it right on the Weber grill for certain dishes - I did this for a Filet Mignon the other night and it produced an excellent sear. Overall, 5 stars for the Weber Genesis for a great cooking experience AND great Weber quality that should last you 10 years or more, if properly taken care of.
