Weber 3841001 Genesis E-310 Natural Gas Grill, Black

I'd give this grill five stars if it weren't for the following design flaw: the ignition switch parts are made of cheap, flimsy plastic. So flimsy that the third time we used it the ignition completely fell apart. (The grill was assembled by Barbeques Galore, so I assume they knew what they were doing.)

It was easy enough to re-assemble the ignition, but this seems like one of those parts that I will be replacing in a couple of years. If this were a cheap grill, I would not mind so much. But it's not a cheap grill, and at this price one expects quality parts.

Kind of frustrating, because Weber could have spent an extra dollar to use better materials and make a switch that would not be so flimsy...

Very solid and sturdy grill, easy to use, cooks great, actually lights up with the push of a button. Looks great on the deck, too.

This is one terrific grill. After 35 years of using a double Charmglow grill, which was showing its age, this Weber is a revelation. Sturdy and substantial are two adjectives that leap to mind. Instant lighting and rapid warmup and cooking are features I've come to love so far. Plus it doesn't go out in winds like my Charmglow did.

Everything tastes better, even plain old hot dogs and hamburgers. And, oh those prime ribs I grilled Sunday on the rotisserie (an accessory purchased separately)! Cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious.

Highly recommended.

This is a NATURAL GAS GRILL- NOT A PROPANE TANK GRILL. I ordered this thinking all gas grills are the same but I've now learned they're not. I'm now completely screwed having assembled the entire grill only to find out my propane tank doesn't work with the grill.

Weber has NO conversion kits and there is NO WAY this can be converted to use propane tanks, even though every thing about the grill looks identical to the Propane Tank version.

Personally, I feel like it should be made PAINFULLY CLEAR in the text of this product description (in big flashing red letters) that this is not a NORMAL gas grill that you find at the local Home Depot. This is one hell of a 700.00 mistake to make if you're not savvy in all the intricacies of gas grilling types and in reading the details carefully.

Be sure you're ordering the correct grill. This grill is for attaching to a hard-run gas line in your house, not for use with portable propane tanks.

UPDATE: I did end up returning the grill to Amazon. Minus the shipping charges (120.00), but at least I'm not out the whole 700.00. It did take the courier about 2 weeks to come pick up the grill but I don't think it was Amazon's fault and they were very apologetic about it.

So far, this is the best BBQ I have used. In all fairness, most all BBQs I've had were pretty good from the start but in the past, they only seem to last about 2 years since the burners rust out (living near the coast). The longevity of the burners remains to be seen but the quality of the BBQ is pretty good and the strength of the heat and how evenly it is spread is better than my previous experience.

It was pretty easy to assembly (took about 2 hours) and everything was in the package. I would highly recommend getting the Weber cover from the start as well as other Weber accessories (the grill brush is the best I have ever seen and the reason I went with Weber in the first place).

It was shipped through Eagle and though I read some bad stories of late deliveries, mine was ready to be received exactly on the estimated date.

You will enjoy this medium level BBQ.
