I finally rid myself of my old broken down Sears grill. It took me a long time to go modern; go gas. I like the cold weather speed and convenience.
I bought a Weber Spirit E310. Set it up last night and fired it for temperature. It reached 585*. I'm sure the old grill did not get that hot.
Going to grill a cut-up chicken tonight. Plan to get grill marks and then cook indirect.
Tips? Pointers?

So may BTUs. I don't want to be making charcoal.

I have the same grill, I find I end up with it set as low as it will go and it still gets plenty hot, chicken will be done in 1 hour or so.

Pork and chicken on my gas grill, sear it both sides about 4 to 5 min each side 450 then wrap it in tinfoil. Till probe says its done. Let it rest and enjoy. In the winter I use a welding blanket from amazon to keep temps up about $20.
Just did a Pork Tenderloin, its a way to get the boys back for a visit!

Kurt- No probe. Working with out a net here. Do have a quick-read though. srw- you gonna admit that 270 on an open forum? I figured 350 (like oven roating) would be a good target. Probably be happy to have a grill thermometer.

Remember that even if the temp says it's up to speed that preheating to ensure that the metal is all up to temp is a good idea. You'll avoid the dip in temp as you introduce the food. 15 minutes min. A paper towel soaked in a little veggie oil and rubbed on the grates helps release and get good transfer for grill marks. Before you haters roll in I'm a gas weber, offset smoker and BGE guy (and an oven!) so they all have their places

You bet Allen. WhT I do now. This one has CI grates so that's a plus.

Get the fat/skin off, so you don't have flare ups.
I got a Holland so no worries.

I'm thinking the key with alla this power is to watch temp.

That chicken looks good, our new Weber is a three burner. Some things I like to "do", indirect, the meat over an unlit unit, and the outer burners on. For just a meal for two, or three people, I just light one burner, and cook over that.

I think for at least 30 years,I have cooked elk,deer, antelope, fish or chicken on the two burner propane gas grills that usually are on sale for $100. I probably use it 4 times a week even in the winter.Food tastes the same as the one as I have eaten at friends that cook on a $500 grill.
Preheat grill 10-15 minutes on high ,throw on meat, sear, cut heat to low or medium until done. I usually only use one burner.I don't host any big cook outs either
