 "Weber is Tops" 2007-05-21
By A. Cerqua (Monroe, VA USA)
I've never met a Weber grill owner who didn't remain completely loyal to the brand. Weber customers will never buy anything else. I can't speak to their less expensive lines (some are made in China), but the premium lines are first rate made in the US of A and the EP-310 is a great example. This is a grill which I own and it will last for many, many years. This unit is made of 302 stainless steel, the GOOD kind, not the inferior 420 stuff most of the grills at Lowes are made with. Some parts are cast alumnium and a few cabinet parts are painted metal but nothing that will rust. Without going on feature by feature, this grill was designed to cook well and very efficiently and last a long time to boot. The thick stainless steel cooking grates are key. Anything else (cast iron, porcelinized iron etc) will rust away too soon and they are not cheap to replace. These will last virtually a lifetime. Many cool looking grills you see are affordable because they chince on the grates. You get a grill for $200 and a year later you are buying grates for $100. Take my word for it...buy a Weber grill. This model is a top shelf choice. The Genesis S-310 is the same but the cover is stainless and it costs $100 more. I find stainless too hard to keep nice looking. The black porcelin cover is easy to keep clean. Oh, and there is a sister model to the EP-310...the EP320. It is the same but has a side burnr. Happy grilling!

 "A cook's dream" 2009-06-07
By Barbara S. Pearlman (Walled Lake, MI USA)
We have had the Weber EP 320 for about 3 weeks now and it is a dream. It is our fourth grill. The last two grills have been Weber's and they were our favorites. We were so thrilled with our last Weber (the Genesis Silver) and wanted to repeat the experience with a larger cooking surface.



Our old Weber never needed repairs but we are comforted by the fact that the Weber Grills are modular and you can inexpensively replace any needed part.



We have put our new grill through its paces these past few weeks cooking fish, pork, steak and vegetables. I used the side burner to heat the sauce. It holds the temperature beautifully, is easy to clean and easy to use. You won't regret buying this product.

 "Great Grill!" 2009-08-29
By Randall G. (Southern California)
Purchased this propane grill to replace a 3 year old non-Weber grill that stated needing an overhaul. I am very impressed with every aspect of this grill. Very well engineered by the Weber folks in suburban Chicago. Assembly was fine -- no words; just pictures which was OK. Looks fantastic and heated up to 500 degrees in less than 15 minutes. That's plenty hot enough for me. At this point,I have no suggestions for the Weber folks. Buying through Amazon made it easy for me with the free shipping through Amazon Prime. It was a very large box and would have been very difficult transporting from my local hardware store. Another great Amazon experience and thrilled with the Weber Product. You will not be disappoined. I got the grill cover too but have not opened it up yet.

This grill is awesome. I've had it a couple weeks now and used it about 5 or 6 times and it cooks very well. It replaced my 10 year old Ducane which was falling apart. While I was putting the grill together I was very impressed with the quality of the parts and how solidly built the grill is.



It gets very hot and can sear meat, something my old one could not do. I really like having three burners too.



I'm looking forward to many year of great grilling.

 "The newest Weber at our house" 2009-05-17
By David K (Chappaqua)
I just put together the Weber 310 and it is cooking well. Our old Weber came with much better instructions & cookbook all enclosed in a 3 ring binder. The new instructions are printed on a large piece of newsprint paper and the pictures can be confusing. I needed to call Weber many times to clarify instructions. I was missing one nut and Weber substituted another type that works. When I called, they said that the missing nut is backed ordered and I would be receiving it as soon as it is available. It came about 2 weeks after I had the grill together and the nut is part of assembly instruction # 8 in instructions that run to # 22. I have not undone the work to put the correct nut in place.

The grill works great. It is a pleasure to cook with.

I got the non Weber grill cover and it fits perfectly and keeps the rain out. Apparently, the Weber brand cover allows the rain to get in.

Cooks food to perfection-excellent quality-Only complaint is the "easy to follow directions". I am generally pretty good at putting stuff together but these directions drove me crazy. Weber should definitely re-evaluate the directions. Other than that, very pleased.

When reviewing the Weber Genesis E-320, before purchasing, I saw a report that when it's shipped, it is almost totally assembled...just a few nut & bolts and then it's ready to go! NOT EXACTLY! It was a nightmare to put together...about the only thing we didn't have to do was weld the firebox...be aware that you will spend hours in assemblying this "surprise"...works good tho'! Also arrived two days later than promised. AND, the igniter failed to work on the SECOND use!!! The Weber folks were great about sending a new one but it's not what I expected from the Weber Quality Control department.

I got my Weber on sale at a store that had it sitting in the weather for months. It looked bad and was missing parts. I made them an offer and to my surprise they took it. The E320 cleaned up great and one call to Weber (they had all my info from my previous Baby Weber purchase)and they sent me all the parts I requested FREE! It still looks new and works great. You won't be sorry to buy the best. Trust me.

 "Awesome Grill" 2009-06-10
By Steve in PA (Boalsburg, PA)
This grill does everything you would hope for. Big thick porterhouses to steak house perfection; veggies, chicken, burgers, you name it. Get a good wire brush and it's a snap to clean.



About the side burner: if you're not sure whether to get a grill that has one (this grill does), I'd recommend it. It's great to have a burner outside for skillet dishes that could smoke up your kitchen.



The green color is really sweet, too. It's kind of nice to have something other than black or stainless.



Update:

1. The Large classic Veranda Cart BBQ cover Veranda Cart Barbecue Cover, Large, Pebble, for Cart Barbecues up to 64" Wide is a must-have addition for this grill.

2. The optional rotisserie Weber 7519 Gas Grill Rotisserie works very well. I don't know how other grills do for rotisserie, but this one is outstanding.

I recently purchased the Weber Genesis E-320. Its extremely rugged & well built. You definately get what you pay for with a Weber! I would suggest buying the Weber grill cover if your grill is kept outside in the weather. This grill comes very well packaged in a heavy duty box.

I would highly recommend this grill to anyone that needs a premium quality midsize grill.

 "Weber Doesn't Disappoint!" 2009-06-08
By C. Soto (Miami, FL)
First time use was a pleasure, all that I expected. I have used the grill once with huge success, based on the crowd pleasing ribs it produced. It got very hot, very quickly, but also maintained a nice low heat once I got used to burner adjustments. I'm new to Weber gas grills (I love my kettle) but I'm no stranger to their reputation of quality and consistency.



I looked and looked at the competition, half hoping to find something that would sway me away from a Weber, but I kept coming back to "old" reliable Weber. Sure lots of other grills offered more bells and whistles(searing burners, fridge, IR rear burners)at the same price point, but none seemed to offer the material and build quality of the Weber line. Plus I feel confident that when it's time for parts, I'll actually find them for my Weber, not so with some discontinued brand X competitor.



Now I will admit that I wish Weber had gone to front-mount controls by now on the Spirit and Genesis lines as they have for some time with the Summit line. If I have one knock on the grill, it would be on burner layout. Time will tell if it becomes an issue or not. Based on reviews and product demos on [...], I don't suspect that it will.



Overall great grill but not cheap, at the end of the day you end up trading features for quality. I'll take quality all day.

 "Top of the line" 2009-04-17
By J. C. Adkins (Pittsburgh, Pa)
Based on other reviews and the high caliber of the Weber line, I purchased this grill. The shipment actually arrived the day before it was promised. No damage.

The instructions, once I figured out how to use them, were the best I've ever encountered. It took 10-15 minutes to figure them out, since they were pictoral and had virtually no narrative explanation. For each step, one had to consult three different sheets. Weber would do a service by including a sheet explaining this to the assembler. Once the assembly instructions were understood, it took only about 1-1/2 hours to put the grill together. The materials are solid, and the design is appealing.

The grill works like a charm! Heat control is accurate. A nice cookbook is included, and it includes tips on how to maximize the utility of the grill.

I couldn't recommend it more highly!



7/14/09--I've edited this review to reflect 3 months of hard use. I continue to be delighted with it. It is very, very easy to clean using just Windex. I bought one of the griddle accessories (Weber 7532 Cast Iron Griddle)that Weber makes specifically for the grill, and you can turn out dozens of sliders in no time. (We made 180 for a graduation party!)

Doing chicken, burgers, steaks, and fish is a snap. I did need a bit of time to appreciate how hot this natural gas model will get, but the heat controls allow both direct and indirect heat.

Finally, I elected to buy the Veranda Cart Barbecue Cover, Medium, Pebble, up to 58-inches Wide cover rather than the Weber cover. The large size fits this grill perfectly. This cover is sturdy and very attractive.

 "Shipping damage" 2008-11-28
By TedT (Ventura, California USA)
Great grill, cooks well, however...



1)Box arrived with exterior damage. The grill has a gash in the stainless steel lid. Now every time I cook I get to contemplate what CEVA trucking could have stabbed through the box. Weber could also do a better job of packaging so that the most visible part of the grill is not the front bumper for this type of abuse. If the package arrives in damaged condition don't accept it.



2) Weber decided to put the in the clevis pins holding the lid to the oven with out the securing clips. The result is disastrous. One pin fell out during shipping. When the lid is opened it twists side ways and drops over the back, bending the sole pin 90 degrees. If this had broken the pot metal hinge on the oven it would be the end of the line for Weber S-320



3) Don't undertake assembly unless you get a true sense of accomplishment from that sort of ordeal. Took about four hours. Get and electric screwdriver and a socket wrench.



Good Luck!

The Weber Genesis gas grill was an instant favorite in this house! It replaced a 14-year old Weber grill, but it has many upgrades.

The Weber Genesis S-310 is worth every penny spent. It is built to last and works to perfection. The burners are truly adjustable for a quick sear as well as low temperature slow cooking. Assembling took an hour. Again the investment, in this instance in time, is well worth the effort. To put this thing together is to understand just how well built it is. If you buy this model you will be impressed in every way.

By W. Burks (Mountain View, CA USA)
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.

 "It's pretty good but there's a lot of hype in other reviews" 2008-06-30
By C. R. Miller (Los Angeles, CA)
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!
