Grill is excellent but assembly instructions are vague and if you follow them it will be hard. Only has photos and doesn’t really identify the parts very clearly.
After dealing with a cheap propane grill for years, thought I would make an investment in a Weber. The working parts seem to be of heavier duty, and I shouldn’t have to replace them every 2 years like on previous model.
I like the quality of the construction. The grill works great without hotspots. It starts every time without issue and heats quickly and I’m able to maintain a constant temperature easily. I would recommend this grill to anyone wanting a simple to use BBQ.
We have several Weber grills, for home, our vacation home and our RV. This is our 3rd Genesis in the last 26 years. It is okay but I like our previous one better. This new one does not have the hanger for the approximate weight for the tank so we do not know how much is left in the tank. It is also hard to get a consistent temperature. My old one I could get a steady 350 degrees by setting it to LOL. This new one burns really hot. I can't get it down to 350 unless I turn 2 burners off. We still have our old one but the cabinet is rusting out. This was the second one that this happened to. I loved the brown/ copper color but we went a different direction this time. I wish that there were drain hole in the cabinets because this new one also holds rain water in the bottom. It is on a covered kitchen patio but the rain blows in so we do use the cover. The pros for the S-315 is the ignition is much better.

We appreciate your feedback on the Genesis S-315 Gas Grill and are sorry to hear you are getting inconsistent heat. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we want to help. Please look for an outreach email from our Care Team soon. Thank you!
I had a natural gas Weber many years ago, with which I was very happy. When I moved to a house that did not have NG, I switched to another brand of propane BBQ. It seemed fine. However, now that I'm back with Weber, it clearly offers superior performance compared to most other brands: from the quality of construction, ease of cleaning, uniform heat distribution, speed of heat up, etc. It really is a quality product.
