Often, you will find that big BBQ systems are bulky and appear to be built simply for purpose, but this Genesis II stands out stylishly. Weber’s Genesis II series has been one of the their most successful to date. As propane grills go, this has style, power and fuel efficiency in abundance.
While the Spirit line is full of modern features, Weber has stepped up their game with the new Genesis models. This generally means that the grill comes with a dedicated rotisserie burner; the motor and spit are usually purchased separately. A dedicated rotisserie burner is usually located on the back of the firebox, slightly above the cooking grates; some models use the grill’s main burner(s).
I bought a small wood chip box that sits nicely under the grates, load it with wood chips, and can add a nice smoky flavor to foods, such as with this spatchcock chicken. All these parts are high-end, featuring superior construction and functionality. They portable bbq aren’t individually groundbreaking, but together they provide a noticeable step-up from your average gas grill, and even from lower-cost Weber barbecues. If you’ve ever lit a gas barbecue with a match, you know how great a push-button ignition system is.
Porcelain-enameled, cast iron cooking grates and Flavorizer bars ensure a consistent temperature for succulent, juicy meat. This 3-burner gas grill is framed by two large, stainless steel tables for all your grilling needs. You’ll have plenty of room to cook steaks, burgers, hot dogs, kebabs on more. One of the smaller models, the Spirit E-310 can still be enough to serve up to seven people. The fuel tank is mounted outside with a large, easy-to-read fuel gauge.
If you run out of batteries for the display, you have no quick way to check the temperature of the grill. We may earn a small commission through products purchased using links on this page. George’s innovative mindset and goal of grilling a perfect steak lives on in everything we do.
Searing for too long or at too high heat levels gives food burnt charcoal flavors I’d rather do without. Unfortunately the insides of these burgers were also on the dry side. By contrast I found the burgers from the Char-Broil grill juicier, and with more flavor. Perhaps the highlight of this model is the flavorizer bars. Designed by Weber back in the 1980s, these bars’ purpose is to catch drippings, vaporize them, and send them back to the food for extra flavor.
If you are a grilling enthusiast and have been looking for the right new gas grill, you have most likely already heard of the Weber brand. Another handy feature on this Weber grill is its fuel gauge which allows you to determine how much fuel is left in your tank. Another thing I love about Genesis II is the wedge-shaped bars, designed to protect the burners from grease and drippings. Our R&D department develops high-quality, fairly priced grilling equipment. Most small and average-sized grills have two separate burners, controlled independently, or one burner with independently controlled halves.
Plus, each burner ignites independently, with infinite adjustments between “on” and “full,” giving you total control over your heat distribution. I’m liking the look of the twin stainless steel side shelves, too as it feels like something from a professional kitchen. Weber has used high-quality materials throughout like porcelain-enameled cast iron, and stainless steel. Well, I suppose it’s true that you can get the job done with the most basic equipment.
The design of the grill is in the form of a cart having two sides and four all-weather wheels. These will allow you to manoeuvre the grill without too much hassle easily. Try as I might, I couldn’t get the temperature to stabilize.
