Problems with rust on lid and broken part August 23, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Let me start by saying that the grill works very well. But, there seem to be some issues with quality control. The original shipment I received had rust spots and paint splatters on the lid. Also, one of the parts came without any threads for the associated bolt. I called customer service and they responded quickly. I received a replacement lid. This lid also had rust. I let them know and they sent another replacement lid. This one has a scratch on it that will probably result in rust at some point. At this point I gave up on getting a non-defective lid. I let customer service know and they appologized for the ongoing problems with the lid, but did not offer any other remedy.

Weber Genesis E-310 - Great all around gas grill August 19, 2007
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

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.

Eagle Ships to the curb only August 14, 2007

Amazon neglects to explain that for the $75 shipping fee, Eagle will drop this 160 pound, rather expensive item on your curb and will take it no further. This is patently absurd.

Weber Genesis E-310 Gas Grill July 22, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Great grill for a family or the retired couple. Durable, easy to clean and very easy to put together. Our last one lasted 12 years and it stood outside uncovered in all weather. We use our grill 12 months of the year and live in the Pacific Northwest. You can buy cheaper but in the long run you will pay more simply because you will be buying a grill more often.
