The solid stainless grates on my EP310/330 will rust up like that occasionally, seems like usually after high heat grilling in humid conditions or after just sitting for awhile. I find mine tend to pit too if the rust stays unaddressed. I clean them off with wire brush and scouring pads, seems...

This is what my wife and I do - we have a EP310 with the (now out of production) right burner smoker box we use for low and slow stuff or burgers, and a matching color EP330 for steaks, fish, and more capacity if we need it. I think the matched set looks good on the deck for parties and saves...

The black scrubber things that Weber makes for the purpose actually work pretty well. They're more aggresive than a typical scrubber sponge. Typically I burn the grates off for ~15min at as high temp as I can beforehand, let them cool down then scrub them off. Seems to work decent for me

It's too bad to hear they don't work well, it'd be a cool mid-week time crunch cooker for a charcoal kettle fan! Is the apparent lack of flavor bars / flareups the issue? If so does that big saucer thing in the middle help at all? Or is that for some other purpose

I don't see these pop up often so I thought I'd post it for anyone looking for one: A seemingly nice condition Weber Gas Kettle is on Detroit CL : https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/for/d/weber-collectors-heres-your/6659440478.html I'd be curious enough to bite if it were a lower price but I...

I'd recommend the original 7107 Weber cover if going that route. I blew a seam out on a new (7130?) Genesis II cover in less than a year on my EP330, and it was mostly in the garage not outside. Weber warrantied it but I think either it doesnt fit the older grills well or it is just cheapened...

Classic Accessories brand covers seem to get good reviews although I haven't had one. I bought one of the new Weber covers (7130 I think) for my last generation E330 and it blew out a seam in less than a year. Weber did warranty it but it's pretty lightweight for the money. The older Weber...

Looking at the specs again LMichaels is right - BTU/sq-in is basically a wash between e310 and e410. I could swear it favored the 310 when I looked last year, maybe Weber changed the specs this year, I dunno. Regardless the 73-74 BTU/sq-in from either the 310 or 410 will be adequate and...

The 310 will be a bit more powerful as it has more BTU/area. And it'll also be more fuel efficient if you dont use the extra area on the 4- burner. 3 burners is a convenient and flexble layout. I don't know why Weber seems to be pushing the 4-burners at the moment to be honest, the specs...

Hi, Have you called Weber Customer Service? They can be very helpful for unusual issues like this. Has the grill ever been in an accident (like tipped over?)

I think the SE310 is a nice setup, 3 burners is both efficient for average size family meals and all you need to have flexibility for indirect cooks like ribs and pulled pork. The stainless grates and flavor bars are worth the small premium they charge IMO, they clean up easy and are...

Of the options listed, personally I'd lean toward the Genesis II e310. I have one of the last generation, we use it heavily and it has been a very versatile and enjoyable grilling machine. The Spirit line tends to have less options for upgrades like stainless grates and flavor bars...

Really nice restoration! Amazing that she was able to get the original wood cleaned up and refinished like new, makes me want to give that a shot!

That BTU sounds high for a 3-burner Genesis. Is it including a side burner maybe?

That's a really good idea, despite being an engineer by trade I hadn't thought of that before! So assuming 21,548 BTU/lb of propane, 17lbs of gas, and a typical 36,000 BTU grill, it should run for at least 10 hours. Longer than I would have thought!
