All three burners are lit by the same ignition module and its corresponding igniter button. You have to supply it with AA disposable batteries, as you do with most other propane grills. Each of the burners have their own weather-resistant electrodes, however, to improve reliability.
Weber has used high-quality materials throughout like porcelain-enameled cast iron, and stainless steel. With this grill, Weber has taken all the features people love about gas grills and ‘premiumized’ them. The grill is also “iGrill 3 Ready,” which is to say, you can buy an iGrill 3—a type of remote thermometer—and stick it in the spot where the LED gas gauge goes. That means if you’re standing in front of the grill, you’d have to open an app just to read the temperature on the thermometer directly under your nose. Apps and Bluetooth connections can be great additions to cooking hardware, but in cases like this, they also get in the way. The iGrill 2 has an easy-to-read LED on its base that displays temperature; having no readout on the iGrill 3 is straight-up dumb.
For the most part, the grilling community seems to agree that the E-310 has impressive storage, space, and overall build compared to most gas grills. I fell in love with the warming rack area as it kept my food warm. With a surface of 156 square inches, it offered plenty of space.
The porcelain-enameled Weber Genesis II E-310 features three stainless steel high-performance burners that produce 39,000 BTUs of power. The Tuck-Away warming rack provides an additional 156 square-inches for a generous 669 square-inches of total cooking area. The Genesis II grills come equipped with a Grease Management System that makes clean-up as easy as possible.
You’ll notice a single push-button igniter on the Genesis II series, with an igniter on each individual knob (featuring easy-press design) on the Genesis II LX series.

This natural gas grill is factory built to operate weber genesis 2 using natural gas only. Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an underground pipeline system. Confirm that the branch supply line from the house to the grill is properly installed before using the grill. Using only the left burner, I tried coaxing the unlit right two-thirds up to a consistent 225 degrees, after letting the grill preheat for 15 minutes.
An NYC native, Brian now resides in bucolic Louisville, Kentucky where he rides longboards downhill in his free time. Weber Genesis II models feature a choice of three or four burners, all rated at a healthy 37,500 BTU to provide weber charcoal grill ample heating power for any ingredients. What’s more, each burner is protected by removable bars to ward off grease while spreading heat more evenly, alongside weather-resistant electrodes for reliable ignition at all times.
An exclusive world-class grilling engine, three powerful burners, with iGrill 3 smart technology compatibility – backed by the Weber 10 year warranty on all parts. With those weaknesses and—–have a seat—–the $1,400 price tag on the three-burner model, I just can’t recommend it. Results might vary slightly between the two-, four-, or six-burner models, but even still, it’s just too much money to spend on something so surprisingly underpowered.
