If I find that a more expensive model will last longer, work better, and in the long run have a better cost/benefit ratio then why not spend the extra cash? Dude, that Mantra is printed on a sign above my desk! Still, though, my wife won't let me date new models.

The big box stores will usually request a modified version with cheaper parts. VERY common up here. I'd be surprised if it WASN'T porcelain coated.

Somehow I missed this reply but I'm thinking Lowes has their model mixed up in that particular add, the Genesis S-320 is indeed all stainless with stainless cooking grates and flavorizer bars ... Click here for the Genesis S-320 specs, this is the grill that we have and are extremely pleased with it. They have the price and pictured grill right, they have the specs wrong, we paid $850 for our S-320. I'm betting the description Lowes is advertising is for the Genesis E-320 ... Click here for the Genesis E-320 specs, I'm thinking that particular grill went for $699 at Home Depot, but as usual I could be wrong. I'm a very firm believer in the Weber grills and I'm hearing and reading their Smokey Mountain Cooker is one badazz smoking machine that a lot of folks who know their way around a smoker highly recommend. Click here for the GSM specs ... if your at all into smoking.

I have been very impressed with my Weber iQ-120(?) portable gas grill. It works great and has a nice even heat all around something very hard to find in portable BBQs, it even has an electronic ignitor.
For home I have a Vermont Castings and it works great too I like haveing the 4 burners makes indirect(heat) cooking very easy.

I have that Genesis S320 as well (natural gas model), and it is fantastic. Yes, it is all stainless--cooking grates, flavorizer bars, exterior. I think I bought mine for like $650 a year ago, but it seems that the price has actually gone up quite a bit on this model. It's great though. If you want to save a few bucks, I think the Weber EP models (not the E models) also have stainless steel grates and flavorizer bars, but are not the all-stainless exterior.

found a summit s-650 on sale at a local store for $1499, which retails for $1999... if I was wanting to spend that Kind of cash and had a need for a 6 burner grill I would grab it.
Man I wish they had the summit s-450 on sale for like $1000 from its $1499 retail price instead!
Still debating over the genesis for $850 or a grill around $300 that will probably be sufficient and last for several years.

Bought the Genesis S-320 today!!!! I also got one of the weber covers to go with it, and the weber genesis 300 series rotisserie accessory!!!!! Bought it from a local charcoal/grill store that sells hasty bakes/webers/ect. here in town... have to wait a week or two for the model to show up though They only had 1 on display and it was the natural gas version not propane... My girlfriend is paying for some of it, and my dad offered to pitch in some on it for my Birthday as well.. so now I wait until they call me and I can pick it up (and pay the hefty portion that is left over)! Are these things difficult to put together?
