Amazon.com Product Description

No more annual overhauls, Weber's Genesis grill is built for high-performance grilling for years to come. The Genesis S-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.

This review is from: Weber 3870001 Genesis S-310 Natural Gas Grill, Stainless Steel (Lawn & Patio)

I have had 5 or so BBQ's in the last 26 yrs. The cheap ones like Charm Glow only lasted a year or so. About 10 years ago I got a Weber Sprit BBQ and it last until this year. I was able to rebuild the flavor bars and grill twice in that 10 year period. Weber is great in that you can get parts for old BBQ's. However, I live near the beach and BBQ a lot. The Sprit had an aluminum box and porclin coated iron parts for the grill and flavor bars. These parts rusted out and /or corroded. So this time I wanted a BBQ that was ALL stainless. In looking arround I found several makes that claimed to be stainless but had many nonstainless parts. The Weber Gennesis was expensive but is ALL stainless. Assemby was fairly easy but the diagrams (no writen instructions)take some studing at each step. Total time to assemble was 2.5 hr. This grill is well made and does a terrific job of BBQing. It is not cheap but I belive it is worth the money in the long run. The S310 is a little big for my use and I would have liked a two burner Sprit sized BBQ but they do not make that size in stainless.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Grill - Still Lovin' it!, June 1, 2008

The grill is extremely well made and should last a very long time. It heats very evenly across the entire surface - no hot spots. The maximum temp seems to be about 600 degrees - after 10-15 minutes of warm up. There is some discoloration due to smoke/grease right below the handle - not sure why this happens but I can say that it doesn't come off easily. Overall, though, this is a very good grill and it's great not having to worry about propane tanks running out.

UPDATE - After more than 3 years of service, this grill is still working great! Weber replaced the igniter under warranty, but other than that I've had no problems. Occasionally, I will take a brass wire brush and clean the burner holes. No other service required. The grill has stayed in very good condition even though I do not use a grill cover. I also don't miss the propane tanks. If you have natural gas service to your home, you will not regret getting this grill.

Purchased the Genesis stainless grill in February,08. Assembly and set up was pretty easy. Assembly instructions would have been better with more illustrations, however, with trial and error problems were easily worked out. First grilling was a dream. The indirect heat makes a great steak, however recipe book directions are not exact, can't be due to thickness of meat etc. Particularly like no bricketts,the flavor bars, themomoter and it's good looks. The 10 feet flexible gas line allows for movement of the grill. Good to have a quality American made product!
