This review is from: Weber 6631001 Genesis E-330 Natural Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio) Through a confluence of circumstance I was in a hurry to get this grill in and installed right when this new model came out. Other than the pain suffered through paying full retail (ouch), it has been a great experience.
Assembly: Everything fit together as it should. Get an 11mm socket on a real wrench though - the 'tool' that comes with the set is great for adjusting the doors, but don't count on using it for primary assembly unless you have a few days to spare. Hint: Use the 3 silver headed screws for the drip tray - the black headed screws are for the side burner. NG vs Propane: If you're going to grill year around in a climate that can get cold and can get the hook up done - go NG. Seriously. I'm loving it. Pre-heat: 40* ambient to 600* in 9 minutes (NG version). I took it up to 650* (13 min) just to clear any remaining mfg oils on it. This is WAY hotter than any reasonable use would entail. All 4 burners running...Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Weber 6631001 Genesis E-330 Natural Gas Grill, Black (Lawn & Patio) I was very reluctant to spend $800+ for a grill. We just moved into a house which has a natural gas line and I wanted to be able to use that. None of the hardware stores in our area sold NG grills, nor would they put them together. I was expecting a nightmare putting this thing together. That couldn't have been further from the truth. Just follow the step by step instructions and you'll be grilling your first steak in a couple of hours.
My only issue didn't relate to the grill, but the connection from my house. I had to visit a hardware store to get a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter for the gas connection. Once all that was taken care of, I fired it up full blast and it got up to 500 degrees in less than 10 minutes. I cooked my first steak on this grill tonight and the outcome was perfect. If you're like me and debating the steep price, you get what you pay for in terms of quality of the materials and perfect food perparation. I highly recommend this grill, if...Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By John ChiTown (Chicago) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

First let me say that anyone who owns there own home (and has natural gas service) should spring for the NG version. Some say that LP burns hotter than NG - I can't comment about that - but I can tell you that with the 4 burns wide open the unit reached almost 800 degrees in less than 15 minutes, air temp was at most 60. Plus you'll save a boatload of money and never run out of fuel again. Next, I strongly recommend you buy the E 330 not the ES 330. The E comes with porcelain coated cast iron grates whereas the ES grates are SS. SS may be resistant to rusting but they are inferior in their cooking qualities. SS takes forever to get hot, does not retain heat like cast iron. SS grates won't mark the meat like Cast Iron does...Read more |
