Weber 4421001 Spirit E-310 LP Gas Grill, Black Review

Average Reviews:

Got tired of buying inexpensive grills that only lasted a few years. My wife had owned a Weber grill years ago and she thought that they were the "best". She could give a lecture on the pluses that they have.
Since there are only two of us, I found that this was the Weber for us. Not too expensive and small enough to be able to move around.
Amazon shipped it thru CEVA, and they called and delivered it on the time agreed upon. Very professional service.
OK-now for the review of the grill.
Was impressed by the way it was packed. Lots of reinforced cardboard, all the parts were tightly wrapped, and great care was apparent in the effort to prevent scratching or rubbing of parts.
HOWEVER, putting it together was a real pain. It took me about two hours, (by myself). But what I really didn't like was the assembly instructions. THERE WERE NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. The entire assembly instruction sheet was a series of photos. Found it very tiring. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I like the "put section A together with 1 inch bolts etc). I was beginning to wonder if Weber made these instructions for people that can't read.
I was impressed with the way the parts fit together. Nothing sloppy and all of the holes lined up. Everything seemed to be of exceptional quality. Heavy lid and box.
Fired it up after assembly and it hit 600 degrees in about 5 minutes. Perfect blue flame in all burners, and although the top got extremely hot, the side trays remained cool. Nice and even heat all throughout the box, with sensitive flame adjustment throughout the entire range of the individual knobs.
I liked the idea of being able to buy various parts for replacement. The warranty is a generous one, and seems to be an indication of the quality of their product. Although this grill is a little pricey, it should last years with proper cleaning and maint. Did I mention what a great price it was?
Good buy.

Take backyard grilling to the next level with this powerful gas grill. The unit features three stainless-steel burners, 36,000 BTUs of heat, and a 424-square-inch grilling surface for anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to salmon fillets, slabs of fresh pineapple, and veggie shish-kabobs. Even more, it provides a 112-square-inch warming rack (for a total cooking area of 536 square inches) that comes in handy for heating up buns or keeping already cooked food warm. The grill electronically ignites at the push of a button for easy, reliable lighting, and its porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate grease-fueled flare-ups that can occur with other grills. Other highlights include porcelain-enameled cooking grates that create perfect sear marks, an enclosed cart with painted steel doors to hide the LP tank (not included), a 10-foot flexible hose, a porcelain-enameled shroud with a center-mounted thermometer, a stainless-steel work surface, and six tool hooks to keep spatulas, basting brushes, and more easily accessible. Not sure what to grill first? Weber throws in a handy cookbook with great summer-grilling ideas. With the lid open, the propane grill measures 25-1/2 by 53 by 62 inches.

Char-Broil 4584623 4-Foot Hose and Adapter Review

Char-Broil 4584623 4-Foot Hose and Adapter

This fits perfect on my new Amazon Char-Broil Go-Grill Ice, allowing me to use a regular sized tank rather than a screw-on can. Less expensive on Amazon than going to my local Home Depot, yet identical, free 2-day delivery to my door with Prime. No, I am not related to Amazon, just a happy, steady Amazon customer. It is 4 ft. long which is great for not tripping over a longer hose. Check out the Go Grill Ice as it is a great little grill.

With its generous length and flexible design, this hose with adapter fittings makes it easy to connect refillable LP tanks to lanterns, camp stoves, and other equipment requiring propane fuel. The unit's weatherproof, low-pressure hose extends a full four feet, which means less hauling and lifting of heavy propane tanks. Additionally, the adapter's type-1 tank connection and durable brass fittings offer reliable and long-lasting superiority that's perfect for rugged hunting, camping, or backyard use. When coiled, the 4-foot hose with adapter measures 2 by 10 by 8 inches.

Weber 7404 Cast Iron Griddle Review

Weber 7404 Cast Iron Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After much confusion over which griddle would work with my new Summit 670 LP Grill I finally contacted Weber directly who told me that the 7404 was the correct product. Weber offered to sell it to me but as I'm an Amazon Prime member I could not pass up the "free" 2nd day shipping I could get direct from Amazon on this product.
This is a very heavy porcelain enameled griddle that is reversible (you can see both sides of it in the product photo). I gave it a very light and fast wash with some dish soap and warm water and then dried it thoroughly.
The first time I used the griddle I gave it a heavy spray of olive oil and let the grill get up to about 400 degrees. I have observed you will get very fast and thorough heat by applying direct burner heat under the griddle as well as turning on a different burner to medium temperature for ambient heat.
Made some fish on this and it came out wonderfully (I used the textured side for the fish and there was no fall apart of the fish as is typical when being cooked directly on the stainless grates on the grill itself). I really look forward to using the smooth side of this for making breakfast items, fajitas and other things that will cook great on the grill.
Clean up is a bit of a headache as you must take the heavy griddle off of the grill, bring it into your kitchen and clean it up. Arguably if the griddle is well seasoned you can just give it a quick wipe down with a cloth.
So why only 4 stars? Well, the griddle fits the grill so tightly that you actually can't put it at either end of the grill, due to the bolts on the back of the grill pushing the griddle forward just a bit so you can't close the lid of the grill. You need to scoot the griddle a couple of inches over to clear this bolt if you want to close the lid (which you probably do).
The other issue I have is that there is no good way to store this. It would have been nice to see something like a liner, etc, that could be used to encapsulate this so you could store it in the grill cart. If you just slide this in it will scratch up the finish on your grill, you don't want that!
All in all this is a reasonable value for money paid, it's a great addition to your Summit 600 series and makes even more flexible cooking on the grill possible.
