But also don’t overpay for extras you won’t use, such as a rotisserie or a side burner. A good gas grill should last a decade or more, provided that you clean it after every use and protect it from the elements. Weber, which makes all three of the grills we currently recommend, guarantees all major parts on our picks for at least 10 years. With almost no fiddling on our part, the Spirit and Genesis grills we tested both produced perfect barbecue chicken, while other contenders produced either flabby barbecue or charred chicken and burnt sauce. And in our indirect-cooking test, the Spirit II E-310 turned out a pair of flawless roasted birds that were deeply browned with skin so crisp, it puffed up like a balloon. The total count on three-burner grills tends to vary between 30,000 Btu and 40,000 Btu.

The knobs on this Weber are in a smarter location- on the front, which gives more room on the side table as a work space. The 1.0 version had the knobs on the side table which took workable space away. (As an FYI, Weber changed this burner configuration back in 2011 which was a smart move).
This set includes everything you’ll need to make sure your new griddle stays in pristine condition for years to come. The 10-piece set includes a heavy-duty scraper, a scrub pad handle, a refinishing stone handle, 6 replacement scrub pads, and one refinishing stone. Cedar grilling planks add a beautiful presentation and robust, smoky flavor to any grilled meal.
The Sear Zone on the Genesis E-325s has an extra burner between the middle and right-side burners, which puts out the same 13,000 Btu as the others do. We’re impressed with how well this concentrated heat zone created a dark and flavorful crust on ribeyes and burgers—possibly better than our top pick can. It’s probably the most important upgrade from previous Genesis models.

Freight orders are orders that are either too heavy or too large dimensionally for normal FedEx/UPS shipment. All freight shipments will require access for a semi-truck and trailer to deliver. If this is a concern in your area, your please contact our customer service team and we will be glad to discuss this with the freight company before the item is purchased. Similar to how this Weber grill treated burgers, the Genesis II pumped out more heat than was necessary. On both the 3 hour and the 3 hour 30 minute runs, the ribs were good but too crisp and dry for my taste.
Without a natural gas hookup limiting its mobility, a Genesis propane grill can be moved around your yard more easily for greater convenience during backyard cookouts. My new Weber Genesis has some features I’m really loving over my 5 year old Weber Genesis. Back in 2011 Weber changed the burner configuration on the Genesis. My Genesis 1.0 (which I got back in 2008) had the burners in a horizontal configuration, ie, left to right.
