Great Quality worth the extra price

By el tigre

Great grill!!! Overall there are quite a few choices when picking a weber grill. 1st things 1st, if you are debating between another grill and a weber genesis – stop. Don’t spend your hard earned money on the cheap grills that lack quality but offer extra features. I fell for that too, bought a $700 Perfect flame grill from Lowes two years later it burned up, and the company wouldn’t do a thing about it. Weber grills typically last 10-20 years, mind you after 5 years you may need to get some parts, but nothing last forever, not even SS burners. NOW, for the details. There is the E-310, E-320 and E-330 models, all come in stainless like mine, but to be honest I wouldn’t have paid the extra for it if they had a black one in stock. Now, for features. If you don’t need a side burner – get the 310. Now the E-320 and E-330, all you really get with the 330 is a sear burner (just an extra burner) Is it worth the 50 bucks? That is in the eye of the beholder. It does heat up faster and is nice for searing, besides your already spending 750 what’s an extra 50(mine was 950 for the stainless, definitely not worth the extra 150 especially since the enamel doesn’t scratch easy – go ahead and take out your keys and try it on a floor model, very impressive). Overall, I am very satisfied with the grill. Construction is way better than any other grill I have seen for the price(I built mine myself and it went together well). Only thing I would change is the plastic washers on the cart, which I will replace tomorrow(plasi-dip some metal washers). Grill preheats in less than 5 min. at 50 deg F, that was to 550. Basically, it looks nice, cooks well, and will last a long time!!!

 

Worth the Money

By Dave

After several years my old cheap Charbroil grill was on its last legs. I love to grill and I live in New England and I am the guy who shovels a path to his grill after a snowstorm. A few years ago I bought a Weber Smokey Mountain was very impressed at the quality. Thick gauge steel, very well designed, and easy to use. So when I decided to get a new grill I knew it would be a Weber and I wanted something that would last me 10 years plus. I would rather spend more money now than to rebuy something new a few years later. This led me to the Genesis S330. I wanted stainless because more to avoid rot than for the aesthetics (it is a good looking grill) and I needed one with a side burner. I have a glass-top electric stove in my kitchen and the side burner will let me use my cast iron pans for certain recipes. Plus I can cook beans at cookouts, corn on the cob, lobster, etc. without going back and forth to the kitchen. It was extremely well packaged, read the instructions when you unpack it because it also tells you where each part is in the box so it is easier to put together. Assembly took about 3 hours with me taking my time to make sure I put it together right. A few parts are easy to install backwards so retrace your steps if something isn’t fitting right.
Cooking on the grill is nothing short of amazing. It heats up fast and the sear station is excellent. I cooked filet mignon to the perfect medium rare by turning on all burners and using the sear station to high. Put the steak over the sear station and cook for1 1/2 minutes, rotate 90 degrees (for diamond grill marks), cook for 1 1/2 minutes, flip and sear for an additional 3 minutes. Next turn off the sear station and middle burner, move the steak to the center of the grill and cook for an additional 3 minutes (indirect heat.) Rest for 5 minutes. It had an awesome crust, great texture, nice and juicy. Better than what I can get at most restaurants. If you are thinking about spending the money on a good grill I would go with the Genesis 330. If money is an issue check out Weber’s Spirit line. Either way you really can’t go wrong with a Weber product.
