Weber Genesis S Series Gas Grills The Right Stuff From its generous cooking space to its 7mm diameter stainless-steel rod cooking grates, the Genesis S series gas grill literally shines with quality and craftsmanship. What’s more, its front-mounted control knobs free up both side tables to provide expansive prep space on this vision in stainless steel. Weber’s Original Gas Grilling System Notice how sturdy the shroud feels as it opens smoothly on its hinges? See how the burners roar to life on the very first try? Delighted by how simple it is to achieve a mouthwatering meal every time? It’s no accident. Weber spends countless hours perfecting the grilling systems on its gas grills, assuring easy assembly, an evenly heated cooking surface, and precision controls so you can tone things down or up to the perfect heat level for direct or indirect cooking. Cookbox and Shroud The cookbox houses the components of the cooking system: cooking grates, burner tubes, Favorizer Bars, and the grease management system. Made of cast aluminum, Weber’s gas-grill cookboxes are durable, efficient, require minimal care and maintenance, and can withstand the heat needed to grill at any temperature. In addition, the shape of the cookbox, when combined with the shroud, allows for the proper circulation of heat around food for even cooking whether you’re using direct or indirect heat. Cooking Grates Weber gas-grill cooking grates come in three exceptional materials: porcelain-enameled steel, stainless steel, and porcelain-enameled cast-iron.

The Right Stuff
From its generous cooking space to its 7mm diameter stainless-steel rod cooking grates, the Genesis S series gas grill literally shines with quality and craftsmanship. What’s more, its front-mounted control knobs free up both side tables to provide expansive prep space on this vision in stainless steel.
Notice how sturdy the shroud feels as it opens smoothly on its hinges? See how the burners roar to life on the very first try? Delighted by how simple it is to achieve a mouthwatering meal every time? It’s no accident. Weber spends countless hours perfecting the grilling systems on its gas grills, assuring easy assembly, an evenly heated cooking surface, and precision controls so you can tone things down or up to the perfect heat level for direct or indirect cooking.
Cookbox and Shroud
The cookbox houses the components of the cooking system: cooking grates, burner tubes, Favorizer Bars, and the grease management system.
Made of cast aluminum, Weber’s gas-grill cookboxes are durable, efficient, require minimal care and maintenance, and can withstand the heat needed to grill at any temperature. In addition, the shape of the cookbox, when combined with the shroud, allows for the proper circulation of heat around food for even cooking whether you’re using direct or indirect heat.
Cooking Grates
Weber gas-grill cooking grates come in three exceptional materials: porcelain-enameled steel, stainless steel, and porcelain-enameled cast-iron. Each type retains heat evenly and sears food beautifully. Porcelain-enameled steel cooking grates are durable and easy to clean. Stainless steel rod cooking grates make lovely sear marks, hold heat very well, and clean up with ease. Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates combine the ease of porcelain-enameled with the superior heat retention of cast-iron–no need to season and easy to clean.
Burner Tubes
Weber’s burners are made of high-grade stainless steel, which will stand up to the small amounts of water found in liquid propane and natural gas. The burner tubes are made of a singular piece of steel with no welds, making them stronger and more resistant to rust and burn-through. And while they are protected from grease drippings and food by the Flavorizer bars, Weber cart gas grill burner tubes can be cleaned easily by gently brushing with a Weber stainless-steel grill brush.
Controls for each burner give you the ability to grill by the direct or indirect method. Even more, the burners are spaced to provide heat across the entire cooking grate, and the burner valves have infinite control settings, so you can fine-tune the heat levels.
Flavorizer Bars
The innovative Flavorizer bar system, originally created by Weber, is designed perfectly to perform a variety of functions on the Spirit , Genesis, and Summit gas grills. Angled just right, the Flavorizer bars catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding flavor to your food. Any drippings not vaporized by the Flavorizer bars follow the slope of their unique angle and are funneled away from the burner tubes, down into the grease management system. Not only does this help prevent flare-ups inside your grill, but it also protects the burner tubes from becoming clogged.
Made of either porcelain enamel or stainless steel, Flavorizer bars are durable, long lasting, and easy to care for. Periodically brushing them clean with a Weber stainless-steel grill brush will help keep Flavorizer bars performing at their best.
Grease Management
When juices drip off the meat, they funnel down to the Flavorizer bars, and then what doesn’t vaporize into wonderful smoke goes down into the grease management system. The grease management system consists of an angled grease tray and catch pan. The grease tray rests beneath the cookbox a safe distance from the burner tubes to prevent the grease from catching fire. Grease is channeled down the grease tray and into the catch pan. Both the grease tray and catch pan are easy to clean. The tray easily slides out of the cabinet for cleaning, and when the catch pan starts to fill, simply remove the disposable drip pan, toss it in the trash, and replace it with an empty pan.
Fuel Gauge
A fuel gauge lets you know exactly where you stand on fuel at all times.
Sear Station Burner & Side Burner (Model S-330 Only)
Maximize the heat without minimizing grilling space. This high-powered sear burner is designed to step up the heat on demand for searing. Even more, a flush-mounted side burner lets you multi-task while grilling.
As part of the Genesis S series, the S-310 gas grill has a front-mounted control panel with three stainless-steel burners and an individual electronic ignition system.

As good as it gets I did plenty of online, and in-store research before settling on the Weber S-310. Over the years, Weber has made several changes in their grills, but retain the same model numbers. So pictures and reviews of the S-310 might be confusing, or obsolete, if they were for a model sold a year or two ago. I believe this grill (6550001) is the latest model of the Genesis 310 series (as of April 2011). The S-320 includes a side burner, and the S-330 includes a sear station burner. Other than that, I think they are all the same. This grill also comes in several colors (E-310), as well as stainless steel (S-310). What was a bit disappointing to me, was that not all surfaces are stainless. The cabinet sides, back and interior are all gray baked enamel. It’s only the doors, table extensions, and grill lid that are stainless steel.We had an older grill with a side burner that we never used. Since the grill is on our back deck, it is just easier and faster to do side burner…
Will last for years! I too was tired of replacing the grill every couple of years. This certainly will not be the case here, this one looks and feels like it will be around a long time.Very solid, heavy, flawless finish, and it just plain works.Now the only issue I have found is that you have to be very carefull while covering the grill. I have returned to the grill to find that somehow while covering the grill the burner knob(s) have been turned on. So far this has happened twice. I only discovered this due to the natural gas smell while walking past the grill. Maybe a case of just having to be more carefull, but seems to me this should be a no brainer and the burners should not be able to accidentally be turned on so easily. Maybe a stiffer detent spring on the knobs?Still, the finest grill I have ever owned.UPDATE 7/15/11: Weber customer service contacted me regarding the knob issue.Basically there is no fix and Weber seems to know this is possible. They…
Good grill but flawed cart design-beware! Weber upgraded their Genesis line by putting the burner controls upfront, thus giving you 2 large side surfaces for plates and other items. I had an old Summit Silver with s side burner I never used. Although this is a 3 burner variety it gets very hot and does a good job cooking food fast.My main compliant, and it is not a trivial one is that the bottom of the cart has all these vent slots cut into the sides and back. This lets any rain water pour into to the bottom and you get a mess of a pool of water in the bottom of the cart. Plus water makes its way into the grill drip pan and you get a pool of grease and water in it. Just lovely. Why do you need vent slots on the bottom of the cabinet? If you say it is for gas venting then they should have been configured the slots differently. Water should not pour into the bottom cabinet. I am thinking of getting plexiglass cut and bolt it to the back and sides but it would alter the grill look.Essentially you…
