cheaper than this one

[ushdadude]

Please report back. I've been sitting on the fence about these for years

not bad. still learning how to use them. they keep saying how much hotter they run so i've been keeping the gas low but i think i'm being too cautious. I actually like the flat site better

The S 335 or 445 will cook much better
But this one should be great as well

Lol wish i could have gotten that one the s-445. One day

Whats the main difference between the spirit and the genesis (not the S models. Only the E)

Do you mean cover or lid?

Cover as I grill all year long. All the other covers would crack during the winter.

I have my e-310 for 5 years now, besides the even cooking I love the warranty. I already replaced my flavor bars twice burner tubes and grates all under warranty. ( clearly I don’t cover my bbq)

When did change the tubes?
How was the process, did they make you show proof of damage or was it just a complaint

I didn’t get the tubes yet, I had to email pictures showing the damage to the tube. As far as installation the CS rep said it’s not hard and it comes with clear instructions. (Side not I also replaced the igniter twice)

Maybe you should get a cover?

True. I’ve had one in the past my issue is I don’t want to cover it right when I shut it off Bec it’s still hot and once I go inside I never made it back out to cover it.

It seems in the long run it would be less work than replacing these parts all the time.

Of course. But I have the same situation. Even when I own a cover I never remember to go back out and cover the grill after letting it cool down. I should contact weber for some replacement parts though

Cook dinner
Eat dinner
Cover grill
This isn't rocket science. 

If you forget ever now and then it is not the end of the world.

+1. I'd say I remember maybe 75% of the time - much better than just not using one at all.

OOS. No need for Weber brand though. I got this one a while ago on sale for ~$7:

Actually, beyond the grill itself, I find it hard to justify the Weber premium. Sure, they make high quality grill covers, but you can find no name brands maybe a notch down for a third of the price.

I have had no success with them and tried many. They all cracked during the Chicago winters.

You have the weber brand cover?

[CountValentine]

You have the weber brand cover?

Yes
Bought it with the grill. Received the employee (from a friend) discount of like 40-45%. So it eased the sting of the high price. Even at regular price I would buy it again.

you actually stuff or just use it to shape?

[CountValentine]

Shape to keep them together when grilling. I found putting them in the fridge after making them helps a lot to keep them from falling apart on the grill. I make the patties 6 oz each.
