We noted how parts were grouped and packed together in a logical way that mirrored the step by step instructions. Crossover enables one lit burner to ignite other burners. Without crossover, the ignitor must be pressed to fire up each, individual burner. A small inconvenience, but Infinity performed flawlessly throughout our tests.
This grill boasts a large 513 square inch cooking surface – enough room to fit 25 burgers. Char-Broil’s Grill2Go x200 is a super-portable, fun little sizzler made of heavy, rust-proof cast aluminum. Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared design produces searing heat while reducing fuel consumption. A 16 ounce LP gas canister is enough to keep you flipping burgers for hours. The left and right side shelves have integrated tool hooks and LP models have Weber’s Fuel Gauge, which estimates gas tank level by weight.
Barbecue enthusiasts will enjoy the handy graph that extrapolates when your meal will be done based on current conditions. My favorite feature is how the software pings you when you’re 10 degrees out from your probe’s target temp. It then pings you each time the thermometer rises by 1 degree until your food is done. When the Genesis line was introduced, Weber offered a five-year limited warranty on those grills. However, the company implemented a 10-year warranty plan the same year that the Genesis II line made its appearance. All the components of the Genesis II grills are included in the warranty, which excludes the damage that comes about due to regular use.
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. Weber brand grills have an iconic look, and the Genesis II line is no different. This portable bbq new series comes with the options for an open cart design or a cabinet design so that you can get exactly what you need from your grill. They may have a few streamlined cosmetic changes, but there’s no mistaking that these grills are Webers.
I nudged up the heat, trying to get up to a steady 325 degrees on the indirect side, but it needed constant adjustment to get anywhere close to consistent temperature. With two of three burners going on a windy day, this is a big flop. The cast-iron grates are porcelain-enameled for better heat transfer and service life. Some of them are also reversible, providing you a thin side and a wide side. Large cuts and steaks can cook well on the wide side while the thin side can be used for more delicate cuts and fish. Weber settled the case and changed the product label to “Made in the USA, incorporating globally sourced component parts”.
