E-320 compared to the E-310 and the E-330
For the sake of comparison, the E-320 is a bit different representing a cross between the E-310 and the E-330. As it compares to the E-310, both have three stainless steel burners and run with 38,000 BTU input. Both also have the trademark individual electronic ignition and porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars. Even the porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates are similar, and the cooking area is 637 square inches on both Genesis grill models.
Weber Genesis E-320 also offers a 10-foot flexible hose for natural gas grills and is available in the same colors as the E-330: Black for natural gas grills and a choice of black, copper or green for the liquid propane versions. The only difference between the E-320 and the E-310 is that the 320 model has an added feature – a 12,000 BTU-per-hour input flush-mounted side burner, similar to the E-330.
The Genesis family of grills offers both stainless steel and porcelain-enamel products to give you, the grill master, a choice. Both materials are used for outdoor grills because they are rust-resistant, hold up well in harsh weather, are durable, and have heat-conducting properties. Do you like the look of shiny silver or stylish black porcelain enamel? Or maybe you prefer a porcelain painted color, such as copper or green. The advantage of a stainless steel grill, it will last a very long time if cared for properly. The porcelain-enamel has a tendency to chip over time. If properly maintained, there is not much difference between stainless and porcelain-enamel. It’s a personal choice.
Weber Genesis S-330 is backed by a rock-solid warranty. You KNOW your Weber Genesis S-330 is going to be around for the long haul.
