My first Weber gas grill I purchased in 1990 and tortured it for 19 years on our ranch in Nevada. I cooked a ton of food on it, rolled it 100 yards down our ranch driveway to the barn for parties, and back up again. It kept working and I only did minor repairs to it over the years.
I needed another grill for our second home in a beach town in SoCal. So we were worried about rust because of the salt air. We looked at a lot of manufacturers but saw none with quality that matched the Weber. We figured that the rust would get this one quickly, we bout a lessor priced model and planned on replacing it every couple years. Now I think this one is going to last a lot longer than I orignally thought.
What I quickly discovered is that the Spirit e-310 is as sound (if not more sound) than the original grill we bought nearly 20 years ago. With the inserted panels and doors underneath, the sturdiness of this grill is very apparent.
Assembly: Instructions estimate 1/2 an hour to assemble. With the help of my wife - we did it in about 35 minutes. My son (works for Home Depot) says he can assemble one in about 12 minutes.
As far as cooking temperature, etc.: AWESOME! I can crank it up to flash sear the outside of beef, or turn it very low and slow cook pork ribs. It has been very predictable and easy to use.
Cleaning: All surfaces and interior are easy to maintain and clean.
TIP: OK - this has nothing to do with the review. It's a tip on cooking on a barbecue. For cooking pork ribs, keep the temperature just under 300 degrees. Put the ribs on the upper shelf (a few inches higher off the heat.) Then open a can of 7-up or Dr. Pepper (coke is ok in a pinch) - place the opened can on the grill and let it boil away (in the can) while your ribs are cooking. This will add humidity to the inside of the grill while you're cooking and the meat will be tender. Babyback ribs cooked this way take 50 minutes and need no tending or turning.

This will be my second Weber grill. My first Weber grill lasted seven years and I was very pleased with durability and cooking performance. We enjoy cooking from home and grill out at least 1 or 2 times a week. With this grill I was to get a little larger cooking space and move from 2 to 3 cooking burners. The extra cost of buying a Weber grill is well worth it as well. I had friend buy another brand just 2 years ago, and he is already having to replace it. So I definitely recommend the Weber brand.
The new grill cooks great and having 3 burners I can now do some indirect heat cooking. The grill is very easy to start and the stainless steel looks great on the deck. The only compliant I have was the installation was a bit harder then I thought. The grill instructions say it should take about 30 minutes, but it took me about 90 minutes. The most troublesome part was getting the wheel base that support the cooking grill area to line up properly. Once this was done and secure however, the rest of the installation was very simple. I think this grill is excellent value for the price and performance.

We just got this grill about 3 weeks ago, and so far so good! Delivery was fast and arrived ahead of schedule. The grill was pretty easy to put together, although the directions said it would take 15 minutes and it took us more like one hour. Cooking on this grill is MUCH easier than our previous grill, which was a Charm Glow (horrible grill - never buy it!) from Home Depot. We are pleased!

I'm a little puzzled by a few things. If this 3721001 has only two burners, as Edward has it, then that would make it an E-210 rather than an E-310, no? That's the difference between the two models.
Then I'm wondering about the picture (here at Amazon.com). It seems to be a hybrid, with black exterior aside from the lighter-colored (stainless steel?) doors. Is that really what it looks like? In all of Weber's promotional material, the E-310 is supposed to have black doors. There's an SP-310 which is all-stainless steel and much more expensive. It makes me wonder whether this is either an early prototype or a hybrid, which might even account for both the problems in assembly some people have had and the reduced price.
Finally, I am very interested in the comments by Adam, lower down, about getting stainless steel cooking grates and Flavorizer bars. (Incidentally, there does not seem to be both porcelain and porcelain-enameled cast iron alternatives: there's just the one, which may be described either way.) I'd like to get the SS versions, as they seen to be better, or at least used in all the more expensive models like Genesis and Summit. Also my last grill (a Sterling) had porcelain-enamaled: the enamel wears off after a year or two and you're left with very grimy metal after that. (I'm intrigued that Adam thinks cast iron is hotter and better, though, but porcelain as cooler and worse, when there only seems to be one porcelain-enameled version now.) Weber sells the stainless-steel interior (cooking grates and Flavorizer bars) version as Spirit EP-310, and the cheapest I can find it anywhere (it's not at Amazon) is $545. That's a lot more than the $379 for the E-310 here. Again, it makes me wonder if this particular E-310 is a hybrid - it's a lot closer to $499 everywhere else. To buy stainless steel grate and bars separately from Weber costs another $135. I guess I could wait until the enameled ones wear out. Or I could shell out for the EP-310 now.
Any comments?

The Weber 3721001 is pretty much the same grill as the Weber 3711001 with one big difference: The 3721001 has 3 burners and the 3711001 has 2 burners. I recently bought a new Weber Spirit after owning my last one for 11 years.
Excellent product. I think that 2 burners are more than sufficient; I don't know why they even have this 3 burner model since the 3 burner model isn't really that much bigger. The 2 burner model has plenty of room for the needs of everyday family grilling and entertaining a decent size group. The 3 burner model just seems to be able to get unnecessarily hotter and heats up a lot faster.
There's plenty of other product info on this page from Amazon and the manufacturer, so let me tell you a few things that I do to make my Weber work best for me.
-Most importantly...keep it covered. Amazon sells a cover...get it. Not coving it will cut its life in half at least.
-Cover the funnel shaped grease drip pan with tin foil and change it regularly; otherwise build-up in the trap can catch fire and THAT does not make a steak taste very good.
-Change the disposable grease traps regularly (otherwise they start to stink).
-Get yourself a quality wire brush and use it before each use...NOT after. The build-up on the cooking grates after each use actually protects them from the elements.
-Before each use, after you wire brush the grates, put some cooking oil on some paper towels and wipe the grates down.
-Pre-heat the grill on high for at least 5 - 10 minutes; it burns off anything left over from the cleaning and makes the cooking grates nice and hot.
-Initiate cooking steaks, chops, any cuts of meat (even burgers...no, not hot dogs) on just-over-medium heat for no more than 2 minutes on each side and flip before cooking to your liking. This brief searing of each side locks in the flavor of your cut of meat.
-Cook with a closed cover; normal cuts of meat shouldn't take more than a total of 10 minutes (including the searing).
-Let your meat sit for up to 5 minutes before slicing (or biting into it!). This locks in the juices; if the juices are too hot when you slice (or bite), they'll run right out of your cut of meat.
There you go. Hope that helps. And don't forget to cover the grill after it cools. Bon appetit!
