Weber Genesis E-310 Gas Grill Review

This model was discontinued in 2016 and replaced by the Genesis II and II LX lines.

The Genesis E-310 is the starting point for Weber’s mid-line Genesis gas grill series. Genesis is one of the most popular grills in the USA, appearing in backyard BBQ coast to coast. Like all Genesis models, the E-310 has three stainless steel burners that line up from left to right with control knobs on the front panel. This burner configuration is relatively new. Prior to 2011 Genesis burners lined up from front to back with control knobs on the right side shelf. The current design is better for 2-zone indirect cooking and frees up the side shelf for workspace.

The ubiquitous E-310 is readily available online and at all big box stores in LP and NG models. It has a double wall porcelain enameled hood and double cart doors in your choice of black, copper or green for LP use , but black only for natural gas. The cart is painted metal with stainless steel control panel and side shelves and four casters. The hood and shelves have cast aluminum end caps with tool hooks on the shelves.

It features porcelain enameled cast iron cooking grates and porcelain enamel flavorizer bars with battery powered ignition. E-310 LP models come with a “Precision Fuel Gauge” located inside the cart next to the LP tank. Hang the tank on the fuel gauge scale, it measures the weight in 20% increments and shows your approximate fuel level. An E-330 model is offered that is the same as the E-310, but includes a sear burner and a side-burner.

Black and stainless steel add-on cabinets that nestle under the side tables are optional and stainless work surface extensions are also available. The add-on cabinets have adjustable height wire shelves.
