Just bought a Genesis S 330

I just received my new Genesis S 330. I am anxious to start Grilling right away, but i wanted to see if there is anything i should do first to prep the grill in terms of longevity.

1. Do i need to season the grates? If so, how?
2. Should i add any sort of material (rocks, etc) underneath of the burners? It just looks bare, and i didnt know if lava rocks or some sort of ceramic material would be beneficial.
3. Anything else?

I have been using charcoal exclusively when i picked up a performer a few years back, and i am just gett ing back into the gas side of things. The last time i used gas i had ceramic tiles underneath of the burners, but i do not even know where i would place them on my new grill. Thanks.

Awesome, congrats on your new grill!

1. no seasoning required, grill right away
2. you should have received flavorizer bars that go over the burners, under the grates. If not, call customer service. No lava rocks, etc. required
3. make sure you put an aluminum drip pan in the grease catch pan to help with clean up down the road.

Enjoy!

I have an S-330, just grab a beer, fire her up, and enjoy!
