Weber 3-Burner Genesis E-315 Propane Gas Grill, Black

Just finish building new genisis and a few small differences were noticed immediately. Sheet metal sides and rear are shorter in height as my previous 2013 model which leaves things more exposed. Also ignition module is now located in the lower cabinet leaving it open to the weather due to shorter sides and rear. Propane tank gauge is no more. The heat shield on the lid used to wrap the whole lid now only protects the front half where the temp gauge is. The new redesigned genesis has been degraded for sure. Will it hold up as well as the previous generation genesis, only time will tell.

I have used this new grill a few times, and love it so far. I used to have a pellet grill that was a plug in elctric, and obviously had to add the pellets each time. I prefer the simplicty of going back to propane, and an ignighter button. Starts up so easy and heats up quickly.. It just took a couple of times to figure out where to set the dial for specefic temps. This is the Genesis E315 which is bigger than the Spirit. There is ample room to grill for a crowd. It ihas a little higher quality grates and stability than the Spirit. It looks nice and the wheels roll easily, not grinding on my deck. I reccomend this grill, and unless you are on more of a budget, I would choose this over the Spirit. Also to note, I got this in black, and I like that better than stainless. The side shelves are gray, which breaks it up a bit. Not worth paying the extra price for the stainless, besides, it is typically covered when not in use anyway.

Haven't used it but now have it on my deck, ready to go for summer. Having trouble finding the correct cover for it. Nothing specific to fit. Solid purchase.

The price is very high for what you’re getting. The burners aren’t nearly as effective as the older models were and you eliminated the fuel tank holder that let you know what your fuel level was.
