I grill almost everyday in summer and quite a bit even in the winter. So I tend to be a bit hard on my grills and I had never really spent much on my grills and I replace every 2-4 years. This time around though, I fell in love with some of the newer stainless steel grills out there and on some of them it appears that you get more than from Weber: more grilling space, or more BTUs, or just bigger. So I decided to go digging a bit.I checked consumer reports and this Weber grill is rated the #1 grill out there for the following reasons:a) very even heatingb) quick heatingc) very solid constructiond) low propensity for flareupsConsumer reports brought out some of the more glaring shortfalls to other grills that were not easily apparent then blinded by all that stainless steel at the local warehouse store. Armed with some consumer reports data I went back to the local stores that have these grills and I started to see what they were saying: plastic where Weber was aluminium, solid doors vs thin with empty backing, open cabinets where Weber has fully enclosed cabinet, cast steel casing where Weber's is Aluminium. Try as I might, I couldn't find the exact model I wanted so after much deliberation I bought the Webber Genesis S-310 from Amazon. I always order from Amazon but I was a bit hesitant to order due to a review of someone getting a dented grill. But since I really wanted the S-310 and I trust Amazon, I went ahead and ordered and everything arrived perfect (Thank you Amazon and Eagle - whoever you are).The Bad:1) It arrived in a box factory disassembled into a bunch of partsThe Good:1) It was very well packaged in the box (additionally, most stainless parts had a plastic film to keep from scratching)2) It shipped and arrived very quickly (within 3 days of ordering - standard shipping)3) No dings or scratches on the grill or even on the box (Eagle did a great job on this one)4) The fact that the grill was disassembled - which allowed me to get to know the grill as I assembled it and raelly appreciate the construction5) Instructions were clear6) I have to say that in putting this grill together took about one hour of work and it really had me appreciate the strength of Weber's construction on this product. Its frankly amazing how well constructed this grill is.7) Construction of this grill is made of stainless steel and cast aluminium with plastic only in the wheels (which are very tough), hose, knobs and a couple of small fittings.8) The undercarriage is enclosed on all four sides with gorgeous stainless doors which are thick and fully whose back is also stainless.9)Many details were taken into account, there are adjustments so that the knobs are fully centered.10) There's a chain to hold a lighting match and the lighting hole is neatly placed on the front right corner of the grill although the grill has electronic ignition.11) The temperature guage was placed in the front center of the grill and is large and easy to see.12) The knobs are located on top of the grill which is fantastic if you have small children. It makes it much harder for children to reach the knobs and turn them13) It doesn't come with a tank (I have 3 so that wasn't a problem)14) Comes with a drip pan15) It doesn't have brickettes but comes with very highly angled triangular baffles to cover the burners...the angle of the baffles lessens the likelihood of flareups because grease falls down before it catches on fire16) Very good warranty on all materials and workmanship17) It has a tank measure so you know when you're low on propane18) This grill gets hot. I turned it on high and turned around for a few minutes and it was up to 650 degrees and the flavorizer bars were glowing bright red hot....wow -- never had a grill do that before!19) Very even heating. The burners run left to right on this grill vs front to back. Always in the past, I've had a problem with the back of my grill being hotter than the front. With this grill the heating is more even. There are pros and cons of left to right arrangement of burners vs front to back and probably beyond this review just be aware potential buyer --- left to right works very well for me and I find I can do indirect cooking nicely too.Grilling with this product is fantastic. This is the best grill I have ever owned and I'm glad I own a Weber Genesis S-310. You might find cheaper grills or bigger grills for the same money or higher BTUs but overall, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a "better grill" out there.I was apprehensive at ordering such a large product from Amazon but amazed at how fast I got it and the store perfect condition it arrived in. One very happy Weber Owner and Amazon shopper.

I spent 6 months doing extensive research on grills before purchasing this unit. At the time of this writing, I have cooked on it approximately 20 times.Every design aspect of the grill has been thoroughly thought out. It creates over 600F of heat. Due to thick metals, heat is maintained when the top is opened. It can sear steaks effectively. The heat is consistent across the surface without hot or cold spots. Even the doors open and close like a solid, quality appliance. Nothing on this grill is flimsy.I am extremely happy with this purchase.My only complaint is that they put the control knobs on top of the right tray, eliminating valuable surface area.I would also suggest that you buy a recent copy of "Weber Way to Grill", an OXO meat thermometer, and tongs.A few grilling tips:Never stab your food with a fork. You will create exit holes for the juices.Oil food, not the grates.Before cooking, heat your grill to over 500F for 10 minutes and thoroughly clean grill with stainless steel brush.Hamburgers should be 3/4" thick. Never push down on them while cooking. They are ready to flip when they remove easily from the surface.Foods should be salted, oiled, and left on the counter for 30 minutes before grilling.Allow foods to sit between 5-10 minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.When using a meat thermometer, take the food off the grill 5-20 degrees less than your target temperature. "Carry Over" is when the outside of the food continues to cook the inside of the food after it has been removed from the heat. This additional cooking is substanial.

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.
