Weber 3780001 Genesis S-320 Propane Gas Grill, Stainless Steel

Weber 3780001 Genesis S-320 Propane Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Last summer this grill replaced a 17 year old Genesis which was still working. It looked and worked fine, but I was redoing the patio and wanted something snazzier with a stainless body for easy cleaning.
I bought a new Genesis because the old Genesis was a real workhorse and other than replacing wooden tray slats and grill plates once I never had to repair any mechanism in the grill. I also bought this because we inherited a new Ducane natural gas grill when we bought another home and it was inferior by comparison. The Ducane has required numerous replacement components in the past 8 years. The costs involved in repairing the Ducane could have easily replaced it a couple of times.
This grill is easy to use and easy to clean. It has an automatic ignition system and is easily cleaned with a garden hose. I have also used my power washer on it and it was a snap. The thermometer gets the heat up and keeps it consistent. I'm not much a cook or grillmaster, but it does a fine job on steaks, burgers, portabello mushrooms, chicken, corn on the cob, potatoes, grilled vegetables, hot dogs, sausages, or shrimp. The side burner is great for any side dishes which may require a warm-up, but I really don't use it that often. The actual grill surface is more than adequate for the average family.
The stainless steel exterior is the big draw for me. It is sturdy, easy to keep clean, and attractive.
This is a good grill for the basic bbq'er. I have friends who own larger grills with fancy rotisseries and woks, higher btu's, and larger grilling and work surfaces, but this really does fine for most families and entertaining as many as 15 people.
While this grill is a tad pricey compared to some models that are found in the big box hardware and/or discount stores, you get what you pay for. This grill is made to last a long time.
