The Weber Genesis Grills are a great value...

Last blog I went over the new Weber Spirit series grills so now lets look at the most popular ones...Genesis Series by Weber.

Weber is no doubt the most popular and best rated backyard grill by my customers and the internet. I have been a fan of Weber for many years now and I would never buy any other gas grill brand.

EP-330 Black

Lets discuss the Genesis grills:

EP310,E310,EP330,E330,S310,S330. Now just to explain a little...the difference between the EP grill and the E grill is the internal parts, with the basic E grill there will be Cast Iron Grates, in the EP version this will be Stainless Steel, also the Flavor bars down below the grates are Powder Coated in the E series and Stainless Steel in the EP.


The main difference in the EP310 vs. S310 will be the Hood and Doors. The EP will be colored doors and hood and in the S version the hood and doors are Stainless Steel. Weber has a big selection of colors to choose from although most dealers will not carry ALL the colors. You can get Black, Steel Grey, Copper, Green, and Brick Red, however you can only get Natural gas models in Black and Stainless Steel.

The difference between the 310 vs. 330 is the Sear Burner and the Side burner, I will explain...

EP310 Green

There are some new features that you may not be aware of as well like the new:

• Sear Burner which is a single 10,000BTU burner in-between two regular burners for that high intense heat for searing your steaks then once the sear is good just turn off the Sear Burner and you continue to have all the grilling space unlike infrared searing which you can not cook on, you will not loose precious inches of cooking space on a Weber grill.
• Electronic Spark Ignition which is battery driven. No more snap style cross over igniters. These igniters last twice as long.
• Optional Grill light which mounts on the Hood Handle. A very convenient light that will turn on when the lid is opened and turn off when closed. Two AA batteries power the light.



S-310 Stainless Steel

The 310/330 grills are 3 burners that have 38,000btu per hour input.

• 64.5"High
• 60" Wide
• 30" Deep
• 637 sq in of cooking area
• Controls are in the front of the grill for added shelf space
• 330 models also have a 12,000btu flush mounted side burner

All in all I like the Genesis series grills, they have a nice look to them compared to years ago and they are most certainly easy to use. You should get out to your local grill store and check them out.

"Spring Is Here, time to replace that grill"

"Spring Is Here, time to replace that grill"

Well finally winter is officially over, at least by the calender. Now it is time to once again start to think about the backyard and what to do with it this year.

I love this time of year, I finally get out of my winter funk and I am glad to get outside and feel the fresh air in my lungs.

I think this year is a great time to replace my grill. I have seen all the new Weber grills this year and they look great. If you have not seen the newer models yet you should get out and check them out. The redesigned the Spirit series this year to include front control knobs and redesiged cart. Lets look at all the new features of the Spirit Grill from Weber:


Spirit 210

Spirit 210 has collapsible side tables and front control knobs. It is a more sleek design for those people who do not have a good size area to put a grill.
Height: 25.6 in
Width:  32.3 in
BTU :   26,500 per hour input
Retail $399.00 in most stores
Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates. This model is not available in Natural Gas though. All in all a great buy for the money.





Spirit 310

Spirit 310 has 529 sq. in. of total cooking area it offers plenty of grilling space, (424 sq. in.) of primary cooking area and (105 sq. in.) of warming rack area it has enough room for everyone.
It has 3 stainless steel burners.
32,000 BTU-per-hour input
Height: 25.6 in
Width: 32.3 in

This one is my choice since I would like to have the higher BTU rating.

Either grill will bring you years of outdoor cooking enjoyment and they can be found everywhere. Parts are easily attainable thru your merchant or just call Weber 365 days a year and they will help point you in the right direction. I have had nothing but great comments from my customers about Weber and I own one myself and will continue to buy them.

Firepits- A Warm and Cozy Project

Fire pits are a great way to get outside and enjoy these beautiful cool night's. There are several types of Fire pits, wood burning, propane, and natural gas.Remember to have your fire pit on a non-combustible surface so we have no accident's. You can use patio blocks or pavers as a base. Remember to keep the wood dry if you use the wood burning version, wet wood will not burn. Also remember to set up your fire pit away from your home so you do not melt your siding etc.


Wood:
With the wood burning pits you would light these like any fireplace, use kindling to initiate the fire and you will burn firewood, being careful to mind the popping that is created with the wood fire. It is a great idea to have a screen or top over the fire to protect the people around the fire pit.

Propane:
Or low pressure gas. These fire pits are usually designed with a simulated log fire, you can light this and the propane will burn a nice even flame. You can relax around the propane fire pit without the popping of the wood like in the wood burning fire pit's. Keep in mind these operate on a 20 lb propane tank like that of your barbecue.

Natural Gas:
These fire pits would have to be installed by a qualified licensed plumber as you would for the stove in your home. The big advantage with these over the others, is that you would have an endless supply of fuel for the fire pit, with no worries of running out of propane or wood.

Many manufacturer's offer all the above designs. You just have to decide which type you prefer. I love the real wood burning pit. There are also many styles available including the chimney style. Or you can design your own fire pit and have it built to your specific needs. This is the best time of year to get outside and get that warm and cozy feeling.
