My husband has had weber grills since way before I met him. He started gas grilling with an old RED genesis. Anyone remember the red ones? with the teak sideboards? He still used that one till last year. But his 2002 genesis "C" was in need of a new set of burners. It had a hot spot in there, that makes it interesting to grill stuff. So we looked at this one. We found it locally for $849. No shipping, and the tax is less than the cost of shipping by far. He specifically wanted the "EP" series, which is only available through a Premier dealership. The Premier models have stainless grills, and flavorizor bars. You can't get them at Home Depot, or Lowe's. They have told me they can, but thier catalogs don't have the premier pages in them. The catalogs actually are different for a premier dealership. Trust me, I have been looking for a long time.
I bought it locally, and got free assembly. That is a major deal too. They would have delivered to too, but we have a truck, and it is only around the corner.
Okay, this thing gets hot. I mean really hot. It was well over 700 degrees in just a few minutes. The sear station is just another burner. Right between two regular burners. However, it is a slightly smaller BTU burner. Why? I don't know. But it does work great. The three inch rib eye steak was perfectly seared (grill marks are for more than just looks people). The Beer can chicken was a lot easier to move to a cooler area in this grill than the '02 model, because of the burners orientation of N-S instead of E-W. So we (he) can get it started, and move it aside, to get another one going. Believe me, this thing is BAD @$$. But, look locally to see if there is a premier dealership, before you look online.

I bought this EP-330 in black from a local store, like previous reviews have stated, the price points for Weber products are tightly controlled (the margins are plus/minus $50) meaning you won't find this grill for $600, period. Although I love Amazon and buy everything I can here, I wanted the grill already assembled and thus I used a brick and mortar store to facilitate that process. This Grill is amazing, there's really nothing to think about, just buy it (unless you need additional real estate in that case buy a larger Weber) The heat it generates will surprise you, the sizzling station works, if you want to put some serious grill marks on a porterhouse, rib eye or NY Strip, trust me you can. I have a built in charcoal/wood burning brick and stone grill in my yard and although nothing can really match the flavor and temperature level of that type of grilling, this grill is most certainly the next best thing. Buy the cover or make the store you buy the grill from give it to you for free (I did), I also got the Weber Apron, Glove and grilling tools, all very reasonably priced. The Apron is Cool, it comes with a built in beer opener and completely matches the color of the black and silver grill :)Best Deals for Weber Genesis EP-330 Grill - Black - 6631301 - Natural Gas
Purchased this from Ace Hardware at lower price than posted on Amazon Purchase included free setup and delivery. I also bought the rotisserie attachment. In the few weeks I've had this grill I've made burgers, steaks, rotisserie chicken, and lots of roasted vegetables. Everything has come out as I hoped.This is an excellent grill that is even better than the very good Vermont Castings one it replaced after 8 years of use. The EP300 heats up very quickly and the temperature is easy to control. I wasn't sure that the searing bar (really just another burner) would matter, but it does. It allows you to sear meat very quickly. I then turn that burner off, lower the heat on the remaining burners and cook food the right temperature. The side burner works very well and is handy for making sauces, keeping liquids warm, or boiling water while using the rest of the grill.
The grill seems very solid and uses high quality materials. The stainless steel grate is already losing its luster with use, but that was to be expected given the very high heat generated by the burners. They are, however, easy to keep clean and oil. I much prefer them to the enameled cast iron grate of my previous grill.
The only minor deficiency is built in propane tank gauge is a good idea, but it's not really particularly accurate, but it does give a general indication of how much gas remains.
Lastly, it looks great!
