Weber Genesis E-330 Review

by Jason on March 23, 2011

The Weber Genesis E-330 grill is one of the best on the market, and in this short review you will learn why and if it is the right grill for you.

First of all, this grill is new for 2011. There are other models like the E-320 and E-310 which have many of the features that the E-330 has. The only major difference in the E-330 is the Sear Station that Weber has included with this grill. Of course, all of the models have been updated for the 2011 year, are more efficient, and made and assembled in the USA.

When it is all assembled, it is very sturdy and feels like a real grill should. It is made of porcelain enameled steel, and is designed to last a long time, even if it is kept outside in the elements. The frame of this grill is welded instead of riveted together like most lower quality grills are, and the welds make this grill extremely sturdy.

The Genesis E-330 has plenty of room to cook on too. With 507 square inches of cooking space, you can cook enough for yourself and a small army if you need to. Many people like the fact that it can easily cook for one or two people and still be able to cook for a large crowd.

The three main burners that power the grill put out about 38,000 BTU’s and are very efficient on gas. This means more time grilling and less time filling up your tank. It will also save you money on propane to which is a good thing in this economy.

Ignition is instant. Just push the electronic igniter and the grill comes to life and starts to heat up. Weber claims it will take about 15 minutes to heat this grill up to temperature, but it easily gets up to 500 degrees in a little less the 10 minutes using the 3 main burners, but that depends on the outside temperature.

The burners on this grill face a different direction then the previous Genesis grills did. Weber states that positioning the burners this way will help with indirect cooking and with the ignition being able to control independent burners, you can easily turn one or two off when you are grilling indirectly.

They also cook food evenly and do not overcook on the surface and undercook on the inside like many grills seem to do because they use a standard wire grate to cook on. If you have ever cooked over cast iron on another Weber, you already know how much better it makes the grilling experience.

If you are looking for a grill that is well built and can handle almost anything you can throw at it, then the Weber Genesis E-330 gas grill is definitely for you. You will pay a little extra for this grill then you would for a Kenmore or Charbroil, but the extra cost is worth the durability and cooking pleasure the E-330 provides.

You can get this grill through Amazon.com for a little less than you would at a retail store and you get free shipping to your door so you do not have to worry about getting it home. It just shows up at your door, you put it together using Weber’s clear instructions, and you have yourself one mean, lean, grilling machine that will last you a long time.
