Weber EP-330 grill: great performance and great value
By Robert C. Corcoran
The Genesis EP series is Weber's mid-line set of grills. I had had one of their lower line gas grills for about eleven years, "stored" outside the whole time, uncovered, in a winter climate. While it still works, it was finally starting to fall apart (possibly from repeatedly burying it in snow) and was showing decreased performance, so I decided to get a new grill and move up some in quality. My main criticism of the lower line grill was that it didn't do as good a job as I'd like searing fish and steak. So, I was tempted by Weber's Summitt series of grills, that have higher btu's (48,000 btu). But, I found the >$1,500 price tags for the Summitt series pretty discouraging, and was going to settle for an E-310, which has 38,000 btu's. Then, I came across the EP-330. This grill has an additional 10,000 btu burner located between two of the three standard burners, and so in that region of the grill probably outdoes the Summitts in heat/searing ability. Overall, the grill puts out the same as the Summitt (48 K btu). And, the Genesis series have a double-walled hood, which helps heat retention, especially in a windy climate. It also has a stainless steel grate, which I like. Basically, with the EP-330, you're getting all the performance of the Weber Summitt series, but at a little bit more than half the price (at this writing, ~$850 vs >$1,500). Assembly was straightforward, and build quality is extremely high: far superior to my previous (very sturdy/long-lasting) lower line Weber. Everything about it screams out sturdiness and high quality. And, the performance has been outstanding. It will truly sear a fish steak or beef steak to give nice carbonizing on the outside with a rare/medium rare interior. And, the double walled grill top has meant I've been able to use the thing even on windy days. It's hard for me to imagine a better grill than this: sturdiness, quality, performance and price are all great. VERY highly recommended!

By Brian Mattes
I've had a Weber grill in the past, and thought it was great, but this new EP-330 is simply terrific! The sear station feature cooked thick steaks perfectly in minutes -- it put beautiful sear marks on the meat and a nice crust on both sides, and the middle was still medium rare and juicy as could be. All of the controls have a great feel to them, and igniting this grill couldn't be easier (my last grill, not a Weber unfortunately, had to be coaxed with multiple tries to start). The mark of a great grill is how hot it gets, and this one had its stainless steel flavorizor bars glowing cherry red in minutes -- I've never seen a grill do that before! It gets wickedly hot, and fast, too! The stainless steel grates are not the cheap, flimsy type used by other grill manufacturers -- they're thick, heavy and solid stainless steel. The only knock I have is the two hours it takes to put this thing together, and it really requires two people to assemble it properly, but it's worth it. I wish I had replaced the old grill with this beauty a lot sooner. It's simply the best grill I have ever owned, and I've had many over the years.
