Controlled via your smartphone, the iGrill 3 uses a digital thermometer to monitor the grilling system. You can also set timers, alarms and even monitor your propane tank levels. As I mentioned before, the grates are made from porcelain-enameled cast iron, making them perfect for heat retention. When it comes to the burner system, the Weber Genesis II E-310 relies on a high-performance grilling system involving three stainless steel burners, equalling a total of 37,500 BTU per hour. One of the stand-out features of this particular propane gas grill is its compatibility with the iGrill 3 smart technology. Usually a 5 to 6 pound bird takes anywhere from 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours to finish cooking.

The grill offers 380 square inches of cooking area , which is 133 square inches less than the three-burner grill. Though small, we were able to employ indirect heat by turning off one burner and moving the items to the cool side after searing. Even though this essentially reduced our cooking area by half, we were still able to fit all the food we needed to cook to feed four people. The heat was consistently even, with no hot or cold spots, no matter where we placed the items. The grates themselves are porcelain-coated cast iron, and we found that they held in the heat well to deliver excellent grill marks. They’re actually reversible—on one side, the bars are skinnier, which is purportedly better for delicate items that stick, such as fish.
In fact, we might argue that the E2i ignition system is one of Weber’s finest achievements to date. The first Genesis grills, including the E-330, boasted an electronic ignition system with independent controls. This meant that users could control each burner individually, firing up the designated zones at the press of a button. The burners themselves feature a clever tapered design.
To turn it on, all you need to do is push a button and start grilling—this aids in the ease of use. When you turn the ignition on, you will need to let it heat up for a bit, but this won’t take too long, thanks to the meat dispersing materials that the grill is made of. Even though this is only slightly larger than the old Spirit grill in primary cooking space, it will still comfortably accommodate a family of four. The heat is plenty for the size and the grill gets up to 550 degrees in about 10 – 15 minutes depending on conditions. Rather than getting enough heat, a bigger issue seem to be getting the heat low enough for real slow cooking. The mid-range and premium models of the 2022 Genesis lineup also have a nifty vertical side compartment off to the left of the grill pedestal.
According to the Weber website, the grates offer you 513 square inches of cooking space. Both the lid and the grates are finished off with porcelain enameled cast iron, making for superior heat retention. The side tables weber genesis 2 and the lid of the grill are made from heavy stainless steel, while the cooking grates are cast iron. I appreciate how sturdy and solid the Genesis II feels. Its lid and pair of side tables are built from heavy steel.
With its shiny black enameled exterior with chrome accents, the Weber Genesis II E-210 looks handsome and solidly constructed. The built-in thermometer in the lid is large and easy to read. The propane tank gets mounted on the side, allowing for easier access as well as open storage under the grill. Two stainless steel side tables on either side provide room to place platters and ingredients, and both have three hooks to hang utensils. And if you don’t need both, the left side table folds down easily.
Since its inception in the 1950s, Weber has been an industry leader when it comes to backyard grilling. I draped the ribs across the Genesis II’s metal warming tray that sits above the grill grates. Finally I dialed all three burner knobs down to their lowest setting and closed the lid. I cooked two racks this way; the first I ran for 3 hours, the second for 3 hours 30 minutes.
Grill chicken on the main grates, sear steaks on the searing station, simmer barbecue sauce on the side burner and keep veggie burgers warm on the tucked-away warming rack. Every component was designed for ease-of-use and a satisfying grilling experience. The Infinity Ignition weber genesis 2 ensures the burners light easily every time. Smoke-infused food grills evenly and consistently regardless of where it’s placed on the porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grate. A doored cabinet and six tool hooks provide plenty of storage space for grilling essentials.
