Weber Spirit E-310

[Okie State 3889]

My Dad is giving me his barely used Weber Genesis so it's time to get rid of my old Spirit. Ten years old. Been outside its entire life either covered or under a covered patio, but still showing its age some. Replaced burners with genuine Weber parts and flavorizer bars with a heavy duty aftermarket stainless set last Summer. Grates are also heavy duty aftermarket stainless, but maybe a year older. Does not include propane tank. I didn't do a professional detail, but tried to clean it up some.

So, I too have a Spirit E-310.  

I just replaced the flavorizer bars in mine this past saturday, in addition to a major cleanup. 

When at Home Depot buying the bars, I discovered that the model number doesn't mean shit.  

My E-310 has the control knobs in the front, the burners run north-south (instead of east-west like yours) and my flavorizers are only 15" long. 

I have no idea why the kept the same model number for two entirely different products. 

Anyway, after Saturday, I've decided to squeeze two more years out of mine.  Fuckers are $449 now.  

[Okie State 3889]

Agreed. The naming convention used by Weber is bullshit. Makes it very confusing to find parts.

 

I would not be upgrading if I wasn't getting the Genesis for free. This one still runs like a champ.

My old next-door-neighbor was a good guy (for an arkie), and ran a gardening service.  Just him and a couple of mexicans doing the mow and blow thing.  He made a great living. 

I mentioned to him that I was looking for a new grill one time...about this time of year.  He tells me not to buy one.  That he will have a nice weber genesis for me in the next couple of weeks.  Sure enough, one day he comes home with one that's a little dirty, but otherwise in terrific shape.  I ask him WTF.  

He tells me that he's been working for the same folks in La Costa for years, and that every year they buy a new genesis and ask him to haul away the old one.  Turns out that 2 or 3 of the other neighbors had all gotten one of their throwaways in the past.  

I had the fucker a good 10 years after they tossed it.

Amazing. My FIL tossed an old Genesis a few years back and I'm still kicking myself for not taking it. It was old, but still in great shape.

 

I know these Spirits are the bottom tier, but I'd still hate to toss it when it has a few good years left at least. Hopefully someone comes and gets it.

They  are the lower-end of the price scale, but they are still weber quality.

My EP-330 fell over on its face during a windstorm, shattering buttons/valve stems and vomited all its internals out of the cook box...a new manifold/knobs installed in an hour, took the opportunity to clean it out + install a replacement ignition set I got under warranty...runs like it never happened.

The prices on new ones are crazy now

I sold mine for $40 at the last garage sale before we moved because I didn't want to haul it.  Bad move ex lax.

Good deal. Some lady from work said she wanted it, but has gone silent since Tuesday. I'll post here if it's gone. Otherwise it's yours.

dammit. should have clicked on this earlier.  If midtown and work lady flakes, I can remove from Katy easily.

[midtown 3354]

I will defer to fatty if he wants to grab it now.    First come first serve.  If it's still there on Monday let me know.  Ill be swinging through Katy around 130pm on my way back to SA.

Alright, I'll send him a PM. The weekend would work better for me. If it's Monday, I might just have to leave it on the side of the house and trust that you don't burgle me.

Thanks OP, you gave me the incentive to replace some parts on my Weber Genesis Silver.  New grates and flavorizers in, waiting on the burner to arrive next week.  Will be basically brand new and ready to roll for at least another 12 years.  Love my Weber.

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

My Weber Genesis Silver is dying. I bought it in early May of 2001, and the parts in need of replacement are now structural. What do I win for 18+ years of abuse? 

I’m getting a new Weber for Fathers Day, but I’m not supposed to know. 

[Okie State 3889]

Sold to midtown.
