    You are exactly right on all accounts. I bought my E-310 in 2013 and haven't looked back. The warranty is enough to justify the expense as it won't be done till I am retirement age.
    Excellent video! :)

    Had this grill for 5 years. Replacing the flavorizer bars now for the 2nd time. That's the only thing that it has needed. It still cooks like a champ and looks almost new. My old Char Broil rusted out after 2 years and was unusable. This grill even got tossed through the back yard during a really bad wind storm. Picked it back up and put it all together and it still works perfectly.

    good choice.. I have had the E-210 for nearly 5 years and live in Socal so use it year round several times a week... the regulator on mine did start to go wonky replaced it for $25~ ..otherwise super solid and working great after pretty heavy use for almost 5 years.

      I just upgraded to the Genesis II S-310. I was able to sell my Spirit for $300 even though it was 4 years old. Never had a problem with it, still looked very good.

    After visiting Lowe's today and seeing the Genesis... I agree. It looks sharp. I bought your grill for $500. I can't believe the packaging. The engineering for this thing is amazing, from the product all the way to the boxes and packaging. We didn't think it was lighting because it's so quiet. We'd been using a 20-year-old Char-Broil with a broken igniter. No loud "woof" upon lighting. Thanks again!

      Excellent. You're going to love it.
      One thing. Not sure where you live or the climate, but if you're in an area where it get's cold. Don't bother buying the cover from Weber. The cover is made of a brittle material and does not respond well to the cold weather. After one season, it's already cracked and torn. I'm very dissapointed, it was a huge waste of money. I'm going to post a video of it in the next couple of weeks.

    Just recently bought the same Model. I have BBQ'd and smoke on it. It's the best damm gas grill I've ever own . Only thing is I wish I would have found a E330 with the added sear burner and side burner. Easy to clean, cooks very even and slow, eliminating the grill dance. no flare ups. Love It.
    Also the grates can be used either way. The pointed side is more for nice cross marks on your steaks. The flat side is better for general BBQing. Good review.

    I had similar Weber for 11 years and it is finally giving up...the igniter went first in a few years which is replaceable... things I’ve replaced the most is the flavor bars and grates but overall the grill worked fine... it does get up to temp quickly and it survived outside in northeast weather with a cover....hopefully when I get this one will do well

    I bought a Dyna-Glo from Home Depot at a cheap clearence price. I noticed how cheaply made it was as I was assembling it. First time I lit it it went up in flames. I'm so lucky the tank didn;t explode on me. I threw a towel over the tank which was on fire. Took it right back for a refund. I later bought a Weber E-210. The build quality was so much better. Every hole was pre-drilled perfectly. It actually was a pleasure to assemble. I can't say enough about how well it was engineered and packaged. I will never buy another grill other than Weber. In this case, you definitely get what you pay for!

    I have one of Weber's Genesis Silver B NG grills. It's going on 20+ years. A few month ago I had to do a refresh on the grill. I replaced the burners & Flavorizer bars. As well as the starter. The parts were inexpensive & easy to replace. I have SS grates, SS Flavorizer bars & SS burners. I paid $550 years ago. It's been the best grill I've ever owned.
    I live in North Texas & we grill year round. I also bake in my Weber.
    I hope you have as much luck and enjoyment as I've had with your Weber.

    Thanks for the thorough review. I am currently debating between this grill and the Broil King Baron 420. I love the spirit, but I find myself leaning towards the Broil King since it has more power (40,000 BTUs on 4 burners vs. 32,000 on 3) for the same price. After grilling for over a year with the Spirit, were there any times you wished it offered slightly more heat?

    • @StreetersGarage
      @StreetersGarage  Před 9 lety

      I was stuck in the same scenario. The Broil King is a great grill. It reminded me a lot of the Genesis. In the end I went with the Weber mainly because of the great customer support. Broil King was new to my area and i didn't know anyone that owned one but everything I had read was very positive.
      As far as heat, I've had no issues with it. I cook a lot of NY Strips and Rib Eyes and it will heat up to 600 degrees with all 3 burners on in about 10 minutes. Cooks the steaks perfectly.
      Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!

    I am about to buy my 3rd Weber grill. Why? Not because they needed to be replaced, simply because I love Weber grills
    and I feel they are the best money can buy. I bought my first one probably sometime in 1999 or 2000, I built a new house in 2001, and I know I had it prior to that, just can't remember exactly when I bought it. That one is still working well and I have it at our camp, which I am about to sell and will leave there only because most of the sales in my park include the grill. I bought my Genesis 4 years ago and brought it with me to y winter home in Florida. The only thing wrong with it is a dent in the door that happened when the wind caught the cover and blew it into my neighbors yard. (forgot to lock the wheels) I am in the market for a new one as I purchased a home for our summers up north and will probably buy the 310. Everything in this video is accurate, I can't add one thing. Yes, they're on the pricey side. You can get cheaper grills, and they're just that...CHEAPER. Consider the one at my camp. It is over 15 years old and I would definitely keep it if I was keeping the camp. It still cooks the best steak I have ever had. So how many grills have you bought in the past 15 years?

      Done! I'm going to replace my old heat plates and burners with a $20 stainless steel rebuild kit from Amazon. And post it on Nextdoor and see if anyone wants it for free. They will need to replace grates or thoroughly clean them. I left it partially uncovered during the raining season and there is some rust on the grates. She served me well but it's time to upgrade to a real grill.

    I had my Sears grill since 1984. I have only replaced the fire tubes every other year or so. After watching the video from kitchen review which they gave this product great recommendation ratings.
    It's getting hard to find the fire tubes and I suspect sears isn't going to be around much longer looking for another grill is on my mind. So I liked the way your grill looks and the positive comments you have for the grill along with the comments below. Now that it is a few years from 2014 what are your comments in 2016? Cleaning, replacing any parts, removing the tank to refill, etc etc.

  • @deli1013
    @deli1013 Před 10 lety +3

    Dirk your thoughts between the spirit line and the genisis. The spirit series has good quality parts and material but, the genisis being the god of grills should you invest in a grill that will out live the griller? Second question, what are you thoughts on the exclusive home depot spirit e3 with the gourmet system. Gimmick or innovation?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    • @StreetersGarage
      @StreetersGarage  Před 10 lety +1

      I struggled between the Genesis and Spirit for about 2 weeks. The main difference between the two is the overall capacity and the Genesis has a killer look with the cabinet design. I ended up with the Spirit just because I knew I would never use the extra capacity of the Genesis even though it would have looked amazing up on the deck. :)
      As far as the Home Depot version, I looked at that one as well. I would recommend that you take a look at it before you buy it. The grate system is interesting, but I don't think I would ever utilize it. Also,the door on the cabinet is different and honestly it feels like it's made out of plastic and would break within a year.

    • @deli1013
      @deli1013 Před 10 lety

      I don't understand why add a cool feature like a gourmet system only to down grade the door to a flimsy access panel. I might be the price point they tried to stay to. I think the spirit series is good enough for me I don't think a side burner is a must. I think they have a model with a "sear" section again gimmick? I want to stay around the $500 range so the 310 or 320 might be the way to go.

    • @StreetersGarage
      @StreetersGarage  Před 10 lety +1

      Todd Saccullo I've had the side burner on my past 2 grills and I think I've used them twice so it wasn't a feature I was looking for. Regardless of the model you go with, you'll be happy to be grilling on a Weber.

    • @deli1013
      @deli1013 Před 10 lety

  • @sticktoyourdrums8177
    @sticktoyourdrums8177 Před 9 lety

    One thing he didn't cover is how the Weber uses an actual replacable fuel line to connect between each burner. My Brickman uses a sheet metal rail system that rusted and broke off. I had to actually rig them up with aluminum foil so that when I light the grill the fuel makes it to all the burners. Its either that or spray cooking spray between the burners to carry the flame over. I am torn between the spirit and the genesis. Don't know if the genesis is worth the $250 more. Can anyone shed some light on the key differences? I rarely cook for more than two, but is size the only difference? Your thoughts are greatly apprecieated.

    • @StreetersGarage
      @StreetersGarage  Před 9 lety

      It all comes down to your needs as far as the Genesis. I was concerned about the capacity from the Spirit as well. However I've had a bunch of cookouts and I've never had an issue of not enough cooking area. No doubt the Genesis is a beautiful grill but you need to weigh the cost versus your needs or are you just buying it as a trophy piece. LOL

      I just bought my second Weber grill just like yours. One thing I noticed was the grates made no sense with the points up and corrected it before the first grilling. Then I noticed 50% of others on you tube were dong just what you did at first. lol. What I like most are the burners are horizontal rather than vertical like my Genesis was. This makes direct and indirect cooking so much better. It's a 15yr grill I can say that.

  • @darenleeper1644
    @darenleeper1644 Před 5 lety

    The aluminum box is the a problem. After a year of use we turned it on and flames came out of the box where the burner tubes go in next to the knobs. This melted a substantial hole into the aluminum. When we put the fire out it stained our deck and melted metal and plastic into it. Weber will not cover damages and they replaced the minimal parts to get it working but left all the metal parts that had the paint burned off. call customer service at weber and ask them if they are familiar with the aluminum tubs failing.

The one I have has been excellent and still works but is getting pretty tired. To buy this model in Australia costs $1000.00. WTF?

Had to order and wait for it to be delivered to the Webber Agent then I can pick it up myself and assemble it myself, and that's despite the Aussie Webber web site stating clearly that delivery and assembly is included in that price. Gouging all round is my assessment, and even the official dealer has no problem ignoring the Webber site promise.
