2017 Weber Genesis II: First Impressions

I decided to test the response time myself, emailing Weber to enquire about warranty details. There was an email in my inbox in less than one hour, answering all my questions and more. Weber has a large FAQ section that covers a huge range of topics such as warranty, problems with the grills, and how-to guides. Thanks to the app, you can head inside and watch the game, without checking on your burgers every couple of minutes.

Most orders under $199 will receive $6.49 flat rate shipping. Some irregular shaped or oversized items may include a special handling charge. The charge will show on the product detail page of applicable products. One point we are always stressing is the importance of owning a good digital probe thermometer. Since the grill rests on an open cart, it doesn’t feel overly bulky.

The new Genesis E-335 provides some quality upgrades over the last version of this grill. Gone is the 9,000 BTU sear station and in is the larger 13,000 BTU sear station. Weber has also added extra storage with the grill locker, perfect for storing any unused CRAFTED grill items and larger grill tools. All the wheels are now swivel casters making it easier to move your grill, while two of the casters have locks to keep your grill stationary while grilling.

The grill comes with a handy two-door cupboard under the grill which will no doubt be handy for keeping utensils, saucers and plates. The lid can be opened and closed as per need, meaning that you can maintain the temperature efficiently, allowing your food to be well cooked inside and out. As far portable bbq as I know, it’s still stuck and the lights are still on. So, there are two fuel gauges right next to each other, which display exactly the same information. A few nights after I got the new Weber Genesis II LX grill on my roof deck, I texted my buddy Ted, proposing beer and burgers at my place.

As you move into a more premium price point, the Weber Genesis SPX-435 is the top premium option. The Spirit line of grills does not have representative products in the same size category. This model is a larger grill with four stainless steel burners that can deliver a total of 994 square inches of cooking area, divided into various segments.

The Genesis II took 10 minutes and 10 seconds for its burgers to finish, just 5 seconds faster than the Char-Broil SmartChef Tru-Infrared. It is the flagship product among the Weber catalogue for a reason. In the end, this grill is everything one could ever hope for in a grill. It has prepared everything you portable bbq didn’t even know you needed. From the moment you buy this grill, you will be satisfied with what it can do from its beautiful, stylish stainless-steel design to its powerful food searing abilities. This grill really can do it all, and if you can afford it, I would not waste my time looking at other grills.

I love cooking outdoors over live fire and smoke whatever the weather, using various grills, smokers, and wood-fired ovens to produce epic food. My goal with this site is to help as many people as possible enjoy and be good at doing the same. Like most gas grills, the Genesis II E-310 scores big in this category.
