Hey all, nice site you got here, figured this will be a good place to ask. My charbroil Tru-infrared has died again so it’s a good excuse to buy a Weber
I know this is a bit apples to oranges but I’m tossed up between the Q3200 or the S-330, which is on sale at my local Ace for $869ish and craigslist used for $600 but it's kind of far away. I’m looking at the Natural gas version because I have a line and have done the run out of propane thing. I used to have a Baby Q, but it melted and I recycled it (long story) so I’m familiar with the line.
I like the fact the Genesis has a side burner as I can use it for other items, has the stainless grates and body. The Q is also appealing being less than half the cost of the Genesis at $399, but it doesn’t have the sear burner, side burner, etc and about half the BTUs at 21700 vs 38,000. I cook steaks often, same with chicken etc. Wish the EP330 natural gas (enamel lid, stainless grates) was still around, but can’t seem to find those anywhere.
I don’t have a problem with space, but here’s my biggest dilemma- I’m a single guy who lives alone I’m afraid the 630+ sq inches is too big. I’m sure the Genesis will last for a while too, but so will the Q. I have cookouts once in a blue moon (as in, last one was over 2 years ago, but that may change). I really like the features of the Genesis and know it’ll last a while but I’m afraid I’d be buying too much grill. I grill year round, so even though it's getting cold out, I'll use it in the middle of the winter time.
Thoughts?
