I'm a little puzzled by a few things. If this 3721001 has only two burners, as Edward has it, then that would make it an E-210 rather than an E-310, no? That's the difference between the two models.
Then I'm wondering about the picture (here at Amazon.com). It seems to be a hybrid, with black exterior aside from the lighter-colored (stainless steel?) doors. Is that really what it looks like? In all of Weber's promotional material, the E-310 is supposed to have black doors. There's an SP-310 which is all-stainless steel and much more expensive. It makes me wonder whether this is either an early prototype or a hybrid, which might even account for both the problems in assembly some people have had and the reduced price.
Finally, I am very interested in the comments by Adam, lower down, about getting stainless steel cooking grates and Flavorizer bars. (Incidentally, there does not seem to be both porcelain and porcelain-enameled cast iron alternatives: there's just the one, which may be described either way.) I'd like to get the SS versions, as they seen to be better, or at least used in all the more expensive models like Genesis and Summit. Also my last grill (a Sterling) had porcelain-enamaled: the enamel wears off after a year or two and you're left with very grimy metal after that. (I'm intrigued that Adam thinks cast iron is hotter and better, though, but porcelain as cooler and worse, when there only seems to be one porcelain-enameled version now.) Weber sells the stainless-steel interior (cooking grates and Flavorizer bars) version as Spirit EP-310, and the cheapest I can find it anywhere (it's not at Amazon) is $545. That's a lot more than the $379 for the E-310 here. Again, it makes me wonder if this particular E-310 is a hybrid - it's a lot closer to $499 everywhere else. To buy stainless steel grate and bars separately from Weber costs another $135. I guess I could wait until the enameled ones wear out. Or I could shell out for the EP-310 now.
Any comments?

The Weber 3721001 is pretty much the same grill as the Weber 3711001 with one big difference: The 3721001 has 3 burners and the 3711001 has 2 burners. I recently bought a new Weber Spirit after owning my last one for 11 years.
Excellent product. I think that 2 burners are more than sufficient; I don't know why they even have this 3 burner model since the 3 burner model isn't really that much bigger. The 2 burner model has plenty of room for the needs of everyday family grilling and entertaining a decent size group. The 3 burner model just seems to be able to get unnecessarily hotter and heats up a lot faster.
There's plenty of other product info on this page from Amazon and the manufacturer, so let me tell you a few things that I do to make my Weber work best for me.
-Most importantly...keep it covered. Amazon sells a cover...get it. Not coving it will cut its life in half at least.
-Cover the funnel shaped grease drip pan with tin foil and change it regularly; otherwise build-up in the trap can catch fire and THAT does not make a steak taste very good.
-Change the disposable grease traps regularly (otherwise they start to stink).
-Get yourself a quality wire brush and use it before each use...NOT after. The build-up on the cooking grates after each use actually protects them from the elements.
-Before each use, after you wire brush the grates, put some cooking oil on some paper towels and wipe the grates down.
-Pre-heat the grill on high for at least 5 - 10 minutes; it burns off anything left over from the cleaning and makes the cooking grates nice and hot.
-Initiate cooking steaks, chops, any cuts of meat (even burgers...no, not hot dogs) on just-over-medium heat for no more than 2 minutes on each side and flip before cooking to your liking. This brief searing of each side locks in the flavor of your cut of meat.
-Cook with a closed cover; normal cuts of meat shouldn't take more than a total of 10 minutes (including the searing).
-Let your meat sit for up to 5 minutes before slicing (or biting into it!). This locks in the juices; if the juices are too hot when you slice (or bite), they'll run right out of your cut of meat.
There you go. Hope that helps. And don't forget to cover the grill after it cools. Bon appetit!

Have only had it a couple of days but it works great - heats quickly and evenly. First Weber, but I only payed 199.00 at Home Depot for this grill (was 1/2 off of regular 499.99). If you have good mechanical skills putting it together was not that bad even with the bad pictures that they give you for instructions. It took me about 45 minutes. Be careful not to over tighten the bolts and screws. The actual instructions are not quite the same as what it really takes to put it together. Would not recommend ordering on line as the box is not that great. Safer to buy locally as pointed out by several other posts. This came with porceline grates, but you can easily get cast iron or stainless after these wear out.

I just bought a Weber Spirit E-310. This is my second Weber in 34 year's. I went with the entry level model as we are empty nester's, but my first Weber lasted over 30 years. Yes, I did replace the grates and flavor-riser bars a couple of times. Don't waste your hard earned cash on something else... do yourself a favor and buy a Weber. Maybe they should pay me for this endorsement! Have fun grilling and be safe.
