lllopez's Full Review: Weber-Stephen Products Genesis E-310 (LP) Gas Gril...
Its grilling time, perhaps one of the great perks of Spring Summer and Fall; just how ready are you? Lets think about this for a minute. Gas is approaching record highs; folks are rethinking their vacation plans and staying at home, so why not splurge a little and treat yourself to a new grille? Hey, youve been tinkering and patching up the old Charbroil all these years and it looks like it! Seeing that you are going to spend a little more time at home, why not do it with a Weber Genesis E-310 ?
Weber changed the way we grille and what we have come to expect from our grilles; the Weber Genesis E-310 carries forward that great expectation with honors. The updated look aside, the new Genesis is much like the old Silver Series and every bit as good, just a bit dressier.
Available in red, green and vibrant blue the E-310 features three stainless steel burners that are easily maintained and require little more than a good brushing or blowing out with a compressor every year to open any clogged burner ports. Each burner is controlled by an individual control mounted on the right stainless steel side table. Individual burners allow for more control on the heat Weber Genesis E-310 which translates to great results! A left table provides much needed prep and condiment space though I miss the pull-up table on the old Genesis grilles
Equipped with porcelain enamel cast iron grating, preheating the grill to cooking temperature is suggested to prevent sticking to the grates. Cleaning the grates requires an extra long bristled brush as the depth of the grating is deeper than conventional grilles, though this is a minor inconvenience for the added benefit of grates that evenly distribute heat adding making efficient use of the 42,000 BTU per hour output.
The primary 507 sq. inches of cooking space is ample and can service a fair sized event quite comfortably. In addition there is a 130 sq. in. stainless steel warming area which comes in for warming breads, vegetables and holding small steaks, burgers and chops but not much else.
Aesthetics and function meld nicely with the color coordinated enclosed lower bin doors, color matched to the lid with attached thermometer, that house the tank and allows for some enclosed storage of utensils condiments, drip pans and the like. Four casters (two Locking) allow easy placement of Weber Genesis E-310 .
You will appreciate the tent like Flavorizor barscover the burners and burner chamber transforming meat drippings into smoke added yet additional grilled flavor to your foods. This is not meant to be a substitute for charcoal but simply a better way to accentuate your own seasoning. Flare ups are a thing of the past providing the grill is kept clean. The Weber Genesis E-310 is all about control which is a help especially when you are entertaining.
One of the nice things about three separate burners is that you can zone your grilling surface allowing you to keep parts of the Weber warmer than others which works if you are mixing meats and vegetables for instance.
Weber has been the one constant in grilling and the E-310 is but another consistent product that is packed with quality, build integrity and value. It is easy to recommend!
