Weber 3780001 Genesis S-320 Propane Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Review

I did a lot of research online before deciding on purchasing this grill. I was replacing a "Capt'n Cook" (from Barbeques Galore) 4-yr old larger grill, for which I had paid almost 0, had already replaced the burners, and it would no longer get enough gas and heat up (I had a professional look at it, and it was not fixable). I thought that grill would last me 10 years . . . So, I wanted to make sure the next one was better, and from the reviews of most Weber gas grills, I get the impression they are very good and longlasting. I also waited about a year hoping the price would go down--it did, about :-)
Although I've only had the grill for a little over a month, I will provide some feedback:
Pros:
- Heats up quickly and it cooks evenly.
- Like the stainless steel.
Cons:
- As many other reviewers have stated, there is not enough surface to place dishes. In fact, I would say that the side where the knobs are does not have much more space than to place a couple of utensils. Since on the other side I have a burner, if I am using it, there would not be any space to place a dish. It would be nicer if the sides were extended to double their legth, or the knobs would be positioned in front instead (this may be difficult without a lot of redesign since the burners are configured along the width of the grill, ending in the knobs).
- This grill is really pricey for just a three-burner configuration with not much of a work area.
- Although I am mechanically-inclined, I paid sobody to put it together. It took two people who really know what they're doing two and a half hours to set it up. I wonder how long it would have taken me . . . ?
A couple of other comments. First, I can't say much about the "flavorizer bars" because I don't have a way to compare this feature to other Weber grills without them. Secondly, I read another Amazon review where the complaint was the delivery. The company they used for this purchase was very good at contacting me and setting up a time for the delivery; however, apparently because of traffic, even if they gave me a window of 1 to 5 p.m., the item was delivered at 7 p.m.
I hope this grill lasts longer than my previous one. So far so good; however, I've seen some of the latest reviews from Amazon customers, and I am not so sure (cheap parts, grease pan fires, flavorizer bars went bad, rust). I'll provide an update in the future.
