We grill year-round (even when it's snowing) and love this grill. It was a replacement for an old Weber Spirit that served us well for many years but could no longer be saved regardless of how many replacement parts we threw at it. I agree with some other reviews that it would be nice to have the hanging gauge to help estimate the level of remaining fuel but as long as you keep an extra tank on hand it's no big deal. I assembled it myself and the only painful part was one of the very first steps to get the bottom shelf to align and fit correctly, otherwise everything went smoothly using the printed instructions and available app. Very pleased that the flavorizer triangular bars and other inserts are stainless steel, and the burners are impressive and a big improvement over the Spirit model. Also, the design of the slide-out drip tray makes cleaning much easier. And we always prefer coated cast iron cooking grates to wire racks so that's just another plus. We don't miss having a side burner (we only used it once during a superstorm Sandy power outage) and don't think a sear station is necessary since this grill gets very hot. Would definitely recommend it as a superior, basic grill with more than adequate grilling surface area if it's within your budget. You will not be disappointed!
The best BBQ thst I have ever owned, great even heat sears the food as it cooks, large cooking surface, for big family or guests. Great for roasting as it heats up like an oven. Very happy with it.
So far the Genesis 315 has been great. The only complaint I have is there’s a big hole where the propane tank would be. I have an underground propane tank and my grill is connected to that. How do you recommend filling in that hole so varmints don’t visit our grill?
I had a Weber charcoal grill for years and absolutely loved it. I've always wanted a Weber gas grill, and decided to get a 3 burner stainless once my other grill rusted out. The power of these burners combined with even cooking and minimal flairups is worth the cost.
Purchased our new grill in May. Assembly was fairly easy and the quality was easily identifiable. Heavy duty grates heat evenly and grill perfectly. I would highly recommend because of quality and thorough cooking.
