For whatever reason, Weber has renamed the Genesis line Spirit for 2007. I just bought a new Weber Genesis 3 weeks ago (prior to the name change) after owning my last one for 11 years. There's a 3 burner model and a 2 burner model. If you're reading this you're looking at the 2 burner model.
Excellent product. 2 burners are more than sufficient; I don't know why they even have a 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.
There's plenty of 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!

I ordered the Weber Spirit E-210 online and assembled it today. Unfortunately, I failed to check out the actual product, depending instead on online reviews and photos, plus Weber's reputation. Big mistake. I dropped by a Lowe's Home Improvement shortly after ordering and saw the Weber, along with many other "entry level" grills, and realized my mistake. I have to disagree with the previous reviewer who calls the E-210 high quality. It is not. I knew it is manufactured in China, but assumed because of the Weber name that the quality would be superior to what it actually is. The construction is flimsy, with many plastic parts and thin sheet-metal type shrouds - in short, a typical discount-quality import. Weber has done what so many other high-quality product lines have done - cannibalized their corporate reputation/name, putting it on a line of inferior products ( the German knife mfgs have done the same thing ). The Weber Spirit 210, though higher priced than the other entry-level grills at Lowe's, seemed to be of the same quality EXCEPT for the actual grates, which look to me to be sub-par to anything else on the market. Check the photo on this page and don't be fooled. The grates look like your standard stainless steel or cast-iron grates, but they aren't. Instead, they are a thin, hollow-body porcelain-coated steel, like the material you'd find on for the grated tray of an oven-roasting pan. No other grill had this kind of grate. Also check out Weber's warranty list on this page for all the individual parts, and you'll see that there are several grades of grates, starting with stainless steel ( the best ), then porcelain cast iron, and finally, just porcelain, the lowest level. That's what the E-210 comes with. I have not used the grill yet, and maybe this is not a problem. However, be aware that these grates are thin and hollowed out and the quality of the grill bears no resemblance to the $500+ Weber grills you may be familiar with. Go check out the product before you buy.
One other thing. I love Amazon, and I buy plenty of products from them, but you can get this grill at Lowe's for the same price and they'll assemble it. Even if you have to pay for assembly, if you are not super-handy-intuitive, I'd highly recommend having someone else do it. The grill assembles easily enough, once you struggle through the picture-book instructions that come with hardly any actual words. I am neither handy nor intuitive, though over the years I've assembled my share of k/d furniture and other imported items. Instruction manuals vary greatly, and can make the assembly, for people like me, either a breeze or a damnation. For some inexplicable reason Weber chose to incorporate hardly any actual words; instead, they rely on drawings, with lots of arrows and lines. On some steps this is okay, but not always, and at one point they have you put a bolt in, but then, in the next step, you have to remove it and put it through again. Also, there were washers that didn't fit. I was forced to hold them with pliers while screwing the screw into the washer, before I could use them. I can't say whether the grill works well or not, since I was so aggravated after assembling it I used my oven to broil the steaks.

Pros:
Sturdy construction (other than the wheels), but not as sturdy as the Genesis.
A lot less expensive than the Genesis.
Very little flame up.
Good grease catcher.
Where many other grills have gone to a low-slung hood that makes it difficult to roast large pieces of meat, you can close the hood on this one over chickens and loins and the like.
Work surface (on one side) removes for easy cleaning.
Built-in propane tank gauge.
Condiment bins are mounted away from the box so they stay cool.
Cons:
Flame control not as precise as on Grill-Mate grills (what I had previously).
Wheels a little flimsy for the weight of the grill; they will probably be the first thing to go, and I'll have to replace them with some heavier ones.
Control knobs take up one entire side; only left side is usable work space.
Enameled grill surface is not as nice as the cast iron one on the Q.
Bottom Line:
If you're rich and your yard is secure, look at the Genesis.
If you need a portable grill, look at the Q.
If you're ready to move up from the $150 grills but want to spend less than $500, and capacity is more important than portability, then this is the grill for you.
Weber Spirit E-210 - Great Quality and Affordable March 27, 2007

This is our second Weber grill in the past 10 years. In fact the new grill is essentially the exact same grill as the one we purchased in the '90s...same size and features. We actually use natural gas rather than propane (I goofed on the order), but we were able to quickly transplant the conversion kit from the old grill to the new one. We've used it a few times and it works perfectly. Quickly heats up and grills evenly. Looking forward to many years of great meals off this grill.
Excellent Grill! April 11, 2007

This is a fantastic grill. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a high quality basic grill. Assembly was rather easy and we were grilling the same evening.
