That is a nice grill. My parents have one and make me use it when I am over. Still trying to get used to it, I am a charcoal guy.

Let me know what you think of it when you get some steaks on her

very fancy! do urself a favor and buy a 30/40 gallon tank. not only does it last longer but the added size keeps the pressure more consistent longer and makes ur grill more efficient.

This is the first time I've invested in a decent grill. My last two only lasted a few years each. I really like some of the design decisions that were made on this grill. for example, You can easily disassemble pretty much the entire cooking area for cleaning or service and maintenance using no tools, and you can actually clean most of WITHOUT disassembling it. On my last cheap-o grill, you had to disassemble half the grill just to remove one of the gas elements. It was a giant paint in the neck.

Great thread resurrection Batman!
I thought you were getting one last year.

 

[Scutter01]

So did I, but the bank account told me to do all my cooking in the kitchen for another year.

Weber burners have like a 12 year warranty also, hard to beat that.

I'm still trying to figure out how to sneak it into bed without the wife noticing.

My WEBER is over 12 years old, & I had to change the old propane hose, for the newer one so i can used the new tanks.

We have a char broil and love it. It is stainless outside with the stainless burners. It is also the "infrared" version. Basically has a metal screen right under the cooking surface to keep flair ups from burning the food. I LOVE THIS GRILL. 4 burner with a side burner you can do just about anything with. Easily cook 8 steaks on it at one time.

Also has a self cleaning feature but it isn't all that great. I wouldn't let a salesman try to make it sound better then it is.

What model is that? I notice some have the controls on the front and some are on the side.

That's just wrong.
Besides, wifey has guns.

It's a Genesis S310. I haven't seen any with controls on the side, except for ones with a side burner. I hardly ever use a side burner so it wasn't really worth the extra cost to me. If we did a lot of entertaining with backyard cooking, I'd have bought a bigger model, but this one should be just about perfect for the volume we do. It's getting christened tonight with a couple of fat ribeyes and some bakers.

...I haven't seen any with controls on the side, except for ones with a side burner....

This is what I'm talking about:

I wonder which is preferable, front or side?

But does it have a stainless steel cooking surface?

I JUST found mine Friday. Only 15 months to find stainless cooking surface.

Yes, it does. Lowes doesn't sell the Genesis S310 (the stainless steel), but Home Depot does, which is where I bought mine. Lowe's only sells the S330, but their version of it has a sear burner instead of a side burner. The prices were pretty much the same everywhere, so I just picked the place closest to my house.

By the way, Lowe's does have a handy Weber booklet that compares all of the features of every one of their models. It's not 100% comprehensive, but will give you a very good idea of the differences between, say, the S310 and the S330, or between the E-series and the S-Series.

That, my friends, is the 16-oz ribeye the graced my grill for the first outing. I really suck at grilling steaks, but I was determined to figure it out (now that I have a fancy grill) and it turned out PERFECTLY - 160 degrees all through. It was delicious.

buy a WEBER it will last a long time
