Main Characteristics
What makes the Genesis II S-310 so appealing is its durability. It is made of materials that if properly maintained, will last for a lifetime. You can hardly say that to other gas grills, but with the Genesis II S-310, it really is true. The natural gas grill boasts of cast iron grates and a lid that is enameled in porcelain. It is also considered as one of the most efficient gas grills on the market today. That’s because it can reach up to 75 BTUs per square inch (in terms of burning power). If you don’t know what we are talking about, basically, the burners of this grill will be able to cook almost anything you will place on it without having to waste too much fuel. Basically, it has a powerful heating system that will not eat up a lot of fuel. That’s why it is considered by many as an efficient gas grill.

Design
Now let’s talk about design. This is where Weber really made its mark. As you can see above, the S-310 really isn’t made of the highest grade of materials. But despite of that, if you care for it properly, this gas grill will last a lifetime. This is mostly due to its design. Have you ever seen a grill where every part is where it should be? That’s how the Genesis II S-310 is. Unlike its predecessor, the burners of the S-310 are now placed perpendicular to the front panel of the grill. That way, it makes much more sense when you fiddle with the controls.
This natural gas grill also uses wedge-shaped bars to protect its burners from grease drippings. If you ask us, this is a welcome design addition that will help the user maintain the longevity of the grill. The best thing about it is that it also serves as a deflector so that heat can be spread more evenly in the grill. The grill is also designed in such a way that you have to provide disposable AA batteries in order to ignite the burners. Basically, the grill will need those batteries for its ignition mechanism. Another design feature that makes the grill a great choice is it doesn’t have a lot of large parts. That makes it a lot easier to clean. Plus, the spacing of the parts is immaculate that you won’t have a hard time assembling and disassembling them.
Thoughtful Design
Great features for a grill that’s always ready for a great BBQ 
Special Features
The crowning glory of the Weber Genesis II S-310 Natural Gas Grill is the GS4 High Performance Grilling System. This system includes three burners each with a rating of 37,500 BTU. That should be powerful enough for you to grill any kind of meat you want. This is the life and blood of the grill. Without this feature, the Weber Genesis II S-310 will just be any ordinary gas grill.
