I love owning products that are near the top of their class, yet not much of what I own falls into that category. I’m usually a ‘value’ buyer – I buy reasonable quality stuff at a reasonble price; rarely do I opt for the high end with no consideration to cost.
So this time I did just that: choosing to pay $600 for this grill when alternatives existed in the $180-$250 dollar range. We’re only a family of four, occasionally have visitors, live in the Northeast so our season isn’t very long. Why did I buy this?
Well after putting it together today, and using it for the first time, I know why I bought this. I bought it because the assembly instructions were perfectly clear and understandable; because everything fit together like Lego(tm) – as advertised – with close tolerances, high quality components everywhere, even the small details like nylon washers to minimize marring and corrision. I bought it because it has nice thick baked on powder coat to minimize rust. Its clear someone out there ‘thinks’ about this process of grilling, and they work at Weber.
Now I only bought it and used it today for the first time, so I have no long term experience, but from what I read, hear, and see for myself, this grill will provide me years of enjoyment. Consumer magazines rate Weber as a consistently high performing brand, and I don’t deny it a bit.
You’ll love the build quality, grilling, ease of use and solid feel. And you’ll like how big it is because you will be inviting people over. Don’t forget to buy the grill cover. I also bought the electric rotisserie with the hope of grilling some Chicken or Lamb at Easter. Opa!

I’ve wanted a new grill for my lake cottage for several years. It had to be of high quality & also versatile because it is our primary cooking area during the summer months. It had to be large enough to handle a crowd yet easy enough to use for just the wife & myself. The cottage is on an island, so reliability was extremely important – I didn’t need to be shacking about for parts or God forbid, returning the unit.
This piece is quality! Quality! Quality! It is a TANK! If this unit was a SUV – it would be a Hummer! The controls are easy to use & precise. The cooking is even with no chance of flare-ups. I have grilled, done a rotisserie, and even baked a jumbo chicken in it – it is a dream.
I was going to spend almost twice as much until my wife put in her 2 cents. I read the reviews and this unit consistently came up on the best of the best under $1500. I can not imagine what one would want or expect a grill to do that has a price tag of $2K? — But they’re out there. No, it isn’t the biggest, but I cooked for over 25 people at an all day picnic and there were no issues. No it doesn’t have a fancy radiant heater – who really needs that?
I am simply a frugal New England Yankee (and Red Sox fan!) that insists on getting my money’s worth. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED if you choose this grill.

If you are reading this then you are in the midst of doing product research and want to make the best decision with your hard earned dollars. You want to make sure you are getting a quality product with a good set of features that will last for a long time. I did the same thing over a year ago and I can tell you that if you can swing the price tag, then you will not regret your purchase.
Obviously I do not have a backyard full of grills, so I cannot compare this grill to other brands. So if you are trying to decide between this Weber 320 grill and some Kenmore, I can’t help you there. What I can tell you is what I love about this grill.
First off, as far as shipping goes. You should be prepared for a very large shipment. This thing is very heavy and depending on your physical fitness you might need someone to help you. After you get the box where you want, plan on at least a couple of hours putting this thing together. It is packed very well and it is a little intimidating when you get it unpacked. Just take a deep breath and follow the instructions.
As you put the grill together you get a true appreciation for the craftsmanship and the pride Weber has in its products. Every piece is solid. From the casters to the cooking grate, each component is crafted well with the right materials. The cast iron cooking grates are the best and help differentiate it from the other, less expensive, Weber grills.
Once it is all put together and ready to go, operation could not be more simple. Push a button, and instant flame. It takes about 15 minutes to get to 500 degrees which is appropriate to sear in those grill marks so symbolic with perfectly grilled food. Providing you do not lift the lid too much, this grill will maintain its temperature. It is almost like setting an oven. Over the past year I have grilled just about every cut of meat from whole chickens, pulled pork, ribs, whole trout, ahi tuna, filets mignon you get the idea. Each and every time the grill has performed spectacularly. The only mistakes were my fault for one reason or another (beginner).
It is important that you maintain this grill. As with any grill, it is necessary to do some regular maintenance. The folks at Weber have done a good job of making this as easy as possible. Throw away the disposable drip pan, put a new one in. Slide out the bottom and scrape off the debris. Done!
One year later, I can honestly say that I have been very happy with my purchase and often site this grill as my most prized possession. The Weber grill is one you can take pride in and put on display for guests. No need to hide it over in the back corner of the yard. It is really amazing how a quality grill can make such a difference. I will warn you, after getting this grill, eating out will never be the same. Forget about going out for a steak!
In addition to the grill, I would recommend getting one of the Weber grilling books by Jaime Purviance. They do a nice job of introducing you to grill ownership & maintenance, grilling techniques and they have some really good recipes to boot.
So if you are looking for one more positive review to push you over the top, I hope you have found this review helpful. The Weber Genesis E-320 is a spectacular grill.
