Best Grill In This Price Range, Period!!!!
While I do agree with Michael B's observation that the instructions for assembly are horrible, it really isn't very difficult to assemble,.. it just takes a lot of time!!! An addition to that comment, We were very impressed by how well this grill is put together! Steel, aluminum and stainless steel!! Very nice!!

Also agree the handle gets pretty hot when left on 'high' for long periods of time, but the temperature is still well within acceptable ranges for your hands, .. just a bit uncomfortable. Don't know about the other models and if their handles are stainless like the S-320's.

ALWAYS preheat on HIGH for at least 15 minutes,..to get the Flavorizer Bars real hot!!, .. everything after that is AMAZING!!! WARNING - Your food will cook much quicker than you are used to on ANY other grill!!! Weber is famous for the efficiency of their grills!!!

Best even cooking grill ever owned and to top it all off,... best warranty for parts!!,.. 5, 10, or 25 years, yes, 25 YEARS, depending on the part!!! This thing is made solid, and in the USA, for those of you who care about that, and will last at a minimum 10 years, probably more like 15-20 years!

This is probably the best LOOKING, best COOKING, best MADE, best GRILL in this price range. I know some of you will be hard pressed to spend 700-900 buck for a grill with only 42000 btus,.. 36000 without the side burner,.. but trust me, and the people on this review site, this grill cooks better than cheaper grills with twice the btu's. It's not about the btu's, its about how efficient the grill is, and Weber's are VERY efficient!! Trust the reviews,.. buy this grill! Also, less btu's = less fuel used = less trips to replace the tank!!! You will LOVE this grill!! I DO!!!

We got the grill last Saturday and have cooked on it everyday since with fantastic results each and every time!!!

BEST 850 Bucks ever spent!!! BUY IT!!

Buy it Assembled!
This is a really good grill.
Only have 2 complaints.
1. Unless you regularly work with assembling complex appliances with less than perfect instructions, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT unassembled in a box!
In an attempt to save space, the very lenghty unpacking and assembly process has NO WRITTEN instructions. Just very small Pictures that several times did not contain enough detail to specifiy the orientation that pieces were supposed to be bolted together in. This caused BACKTRACKING (unbolting) to where the ambiguity appeared and resuming the assembly process. Took almost 6 hours to assemble.
2. Handle placement on Front of lid is dangerous if you are used to grills that have knobs on either side of the lid.
If you are cooking something at the hottest setting 600+F (like steak).
The front-located handle gets very hot. My old Ducane had two bakelite knobs on the left and right sides of the lid. No matter how hot the grill got, you never were in danger of burning yourself because you lifted the lid from the side of the grill. The knobs didn't heat up much, and becuase you did the lifting from the side, you avoided that initial blast of superheated air when you first lift the lid.

stop wondering --- just buy it.
I did a ton of research before buying this. Outstanding grill. DEFINITELY worth the price. You can get cheaper grills at the local box store, but they will not come close to this one.
- Solid construction
- well engineered and manufactured
- even heating / easy to control heat / gets very hot
- propane scale/guage is a nice plus (give you an idea how much LP you have left).
- will last forever

If you're comparing this to the E320, there's more to the difference than just the stainless outside. The internal parts are also different (7mm solid stainless grate, stainless flavorizer bars...). The difference is worth the price. It is possible to get the good internal stuff with the enamel exterior (black, green, blue, copper) if you buy the EP-320, which I believe is only sold by Ace Hardare and similar stores. The E-320, which is sold at all the box stores is inferior to both the EP-320 and S-320.

Bottom line -- you can't go wrong with a Weber Genesis. I recommend the EP-320 or S-320 if it fits your budget. Otherwise, you're still getting a good grill with the E-320.

About Weber: these guys are professionals. I called with a questions and A PERSON answered the phone. She was very patient and helpful. The packaging, instructions, and assemply exceeded all expectations. It was actually a pleasure to unpack and put together compared to anything else I've ever purchased. I also recommend Weber accessories -- much better than any other brand I've purchased.

I bought it from Amazon and it arrived quickly. the shipping company called me to arrange delivery, and I recieved it a couple days later. They placed the big, heavy box where I asked (in a detached garage behind my house). A little damage to the box during shipping, but the grill was fine.

I can't say enough to endorse this grill. You will not regret the purchase.
