Review: Weber Genesis II LX Grill

About 2 months after taking ownership, I added a cast iron grill to one half of the cooking area so I have the best of both worlds, I now have 1/2 stainless, 1/2 cast iron cooking surface. Grill cover has held up well and has kept the grill looking like new. Only somewhat negative is my disappointed with the Weber Grill add on lights that attached to the handle, they did no last a year. Good news is they were quickly replaced by Weber, free of charge when I called to inquire about how to get replacement parts.

In fact, the midsized Weber Genesis II LX S-340 grill is the best of the Weber Genesis II grills we tested, scoring high enough to make our list of top picks. Heating evenness was excellent, and preheating and indirect cooking were just a notch below that. • The propane tank has been relocated weber genesis 2 to the right side of the grill, making it easier to change, and two of the four casters have been replaced by wheels. Weber revamped its iconic Genesis grill line this year, rolling out eight new grills that step up in size, features, and price, from two-burner to six-burner.

As an upgrade from a starter grill, or an alternative to a full-on outdoor kitchen, this is a terrific choice. Your best bet is to register your new grill with Weber online. Should there ever be a problem, give them a toll-free call seven days a week, send an email, or use their online form to launch a warranty claim.

This is a convenient perk that’s shared by the original Genesis line and the upgraded II series. The Genesis II E-330, on the other hand, has an open cart-style design. This might be more appealing if you prefer easy access to the catch pan. It also gives you a handy shelf for storing tools or other supplies.

The grills also has a tuck-away warming rack, that cleverly folds down when you aren’t using it. Weber gas grills are designed and manufactured to stand the test of time. All models are sturdily built using high-end materials including stainless steel and enameled cast iron, and are backed by Weber’s ten year guarantee weber charcoal grill for complete peace of mind. Both grills have porcelain-coated cast iron grates and a swing-away warming rack, but Weber has a bit more primary cooking area . Weber offers more BTUs , but Char-Broil adds an infrared heat emitter, which heats objects, not the air around it—a very efficient way to heat food evenly.
