The weber genesis grill S310 is a very fine product. It has all the cooking power one needs for a "typical" family of four. It provides a great looking stainless steel exterior and is easy to clean up.

My only hesitation and warning is to have a lot of patience for those putting the grill together as I did. It comes in what seems like a million pieces and the instructions (just graphic drawings) are not very helpful. Other buyers have noted the same issue so be prepared for several hours of "hell" if you dont enjoy trial and error and figuring out the jigsaw puzzel.


Like many people, I scoured reviews on Amazon and elsewhere trying to get a feel for which BBQs were the best in the $500-$800 category--as many have, I've bought the $150 special at Target only to be disappointed with the cooking performance and longevity. Weber grills kept showing up with 5 star ratings, particularly the Genesis E310/S310 models.

I ended up buying a Genesis S-310 from a local brick and mortar store because I didn't have time to wait for shipping from an internet store. Be aware, this grill comes in a HUGE box, weighs 160 lbs. and may be subject to some interstate freight drop-kicking which probably won't hurt what's inside. Your first hurdle will be assembly--the instructions are TERRIBLE. Anyone who tells you they put it together in under an hour is either a liar or assembles grills for a living. In my case, it took 3 tool-handy men about 3 hours to assemble it. For example, one part in step one has to be installed in a certain orientation or the firebox in step 12 won't drop in correctly. Guess who installed it the wrong way and had to undo the work when the grill was already 50% assembled? Another issue we had with the instructions was that there are 4 different types of screws used, but the screws for the door handles were actually different than the ones shown in the instructions--at the end of assembly, we realized that the 4 screws left over were for the handles.

Let's talk about the "stainless steel" on this grill. The lid, handles, grills and doors are stainless steel. The shiny side shelves and other surfaces are stainless veneer, so to speak--bent metal that covers a painted frame. The firebox is some kind of powdercoated metal, but it ain't stainless. It's just an eye-opener to see all the non-stainless steel parts that are covered up as you assemble the grill.

The grill works very nicely--with the 3 burners going, you can easily get the internal temp over 500 degrees F and steaks, fish, and burgers sear quickly and with little sticking on the stainless steel rods. So after using it a few times, I had to replace my LP tank (as I'd started with a 1/2 full one) and then the fun really began! The new tank went on...and no gas would come out. Looked in the instructions, tried what it said, fiddled with the connectors, tried manual lighting...even called Weber who cheerfully tried to talk me through another set of instructions. NO GAS. I had guests waiting to be fed. One guest suggested opening the tank valve just ever-so-slightly so a little gas would flow...and voila! the grill lit up on the first click of the ignitor! Turns out if your tank is filled 100%, the pressure regulator won't let gas flow if you open the valve wide open, so by opening the valve just a little the regulator lets gas flow--essentially bleeding the tank--and after your first grilling session, the tank pressure is no longer high enough to trigger the safety mechanism. Despite the excellent Weber phone service--even on a Sunday afternoon--this scenario wasn't covered in the manual or on the phone.

My bottom line: this is a excellent-performing grill--if you pay full list price it's not a great deal. Considering the premium price, the fit and finish is underwhelming. I haven't had any grills in this price range before this purchase, so I can't compare. But I liked the long warranty and you can't beat the responsiveness of the Weber support staff--that is definitely NOT hype!


I was thrilled to have my 160# Weber box delivered. I went to my patio and began to assemble it to find the portion of the grillbox that attaches to the shroud was cracked off and floating in the box. What a disappointment. A broken 160# unit sitting on my porch. Advice: Buy $800.00 160# items from a local rep. My local Ace Hardware store had one assembled and brought it to my door, delivery free of charge.


This is the second Weber Propane grill I have owned. The first lasted 15 years, a tribute to the quality and durability of Weber product. Overall. the Genesis S-310 is a superb gas grill that is easy to use and cooks with remarkable precision. The electronic ignition system is especially noteworthy as it fire up the grill with the mere touch of a button. The three burner system enables a variety of foods to be either seared or broiled reliably.


This grill is really great! I know this sounds silly, but it gets really hot! I have already made lots of great meals with it. It looks great and is fun to use. My only not so great comment would be that I found it a touch hard to put together. I was able to it bascially alone in about 2.5 hours, but 2x I had to reverse parts and often was left scratching my head as to what the pictures on the directions were demonstrating. But even that was not too bad. When it was all put together, I stood back and just said "Wow"!


This grill arrived in a timely manner and was exactly as advertised. The assembly instructions were simple and easy to follow. I am very pleased.


Pros:
1. Heats up quickly. Grills very well. Even heat.
2. Individual burners allow for direct or indirect cooking. (indirect is when you use the outside burners and grill food in the middle with the heat circulating around the food but not directly under).
3. I like the concept of the "precision fuel gauge".
4. Stainless construction should hold up well.
5. the drip pan system is easy to use and clean.

Cons:
1. Comes in a million pieces and takes a good bit of time to put together.
2. The warming rack is dangerous. It is squeezed in to it's resting place on top but not held securely. If it is bumped by a utensil being used on the rack below it easily pops out of place and falls to the rack below. This causes any food on it to spill. It may also land on food below or on your hand. The lid will not close until you manage to pick it up and remove it. After falling, it is too hot to put back in place unless you have two oven mits.
3. I don't like the look of the cheap plastic on the ends next to stainless.
4. High cost compared to similar models of lesser brands.
5. The "precision fuel gauge" is helpful, but no where near "precise". It shows there is still some fuel left when there is not.


Excellent grilling. Sturdy. I'm glad I spent the extra for the stainless. I was pleased that it came with stainless cooking grates as well. I wasn't expecting that. Plan a couple of hours for assembly, but easy to follow instructions. Putting it together made me appreciate the quality of the grill and it's sturdiness. I'm very pleased with it's performance! I've grilled a variety of meats and vegetables and it has done an excellent job. It does get hot on high -600 degrees or better (great for searing steaks). After warm-up I cook primarily between medium and low. The position of control knobs does limit your counter space. That would be my only complaint.


After a lot of research between different manufacturers and grill types I made the decision to purchase a Genisis 3 310. It is a straightforward design that delivers the exact "1 thing" I needed: even and smooth heating controls and cookspace that optimizes my ability not to ruin good meat. At the end of the day, I realized i do not need side burners, ovens or rotisseries or any other apparatus that will sit unused and idle. This grill took 3 hours to assemble and instructions were clear and concise to follow. Strongly Recommend!


I have had this grill for about 2 weeks and am very satisfied. My last grill was a Weber and it was an easy decision to replace with another one (old Weber grill was stolen last summer). Purchased the grill pan for vegetables and fish - a must have for the serious griller. The grill arrived about 2 days earlier than expected. Assembly took about 2 hours with toddlers trying to help.
