You can also optionally purchase this grill — as I did — with the GBS grate system. But, this grill does all that with high-end parts, engineering, and construction. This means you get precision control over your ‘cue and elevated performance. The Weber Genesis II E-310 Outdoor Gas Grill promises a superior grilling experience compared to many of its competitors. In 1999 they opened a second location in Easton, PA leasing a space from a nursery company.
Most orders under $199 will receive $6.49 flat rate shipping. Some irregular shaped or oversized items may include a special handling charge. The charge will show on the product detail page weber q of applicable products. One point we are always stressing is the importance of owning a good digital probe thermometer. Since the grill rests on an open cart, it doesn’t feel overly bulky.
It will certainly take the guesswork out of learning its temperature settings. Still, $950 all-in is a heck of a lot of cash to spend on a grill, especially for the more casual outdoor cook. After that I arranged the patties on the grill in a rectangular pattern (two patties high, three across) with 1.5 to 2 inches spacing between them. I inserted one of the iGrill probes into the center, front patty. I closed the hood, and gave the burgers a flip after 6 minutes. With the lid closed again, I recorded how long it took the internal burger temp to hit 145 degrees.
As you move into a more premium price point, the Weber Genesis SPX-435 is the top premium option. The Spirit line of grills does not have representative products in the same size category. This model is a larger grill with four stainless steel burners that can deliver a total of 994 square inches of cooking area, divided into various segments.
A few days later, when it was warmer and less breezy, I tried again. It took took 20 minutes post preheat, but I finally hit my 225 degree benchmark using just the left burner. More than that, though, was too much to ask of just one burner. Two burners could reach higher temps quickly, leaving just a third of the grill available for indirect grilling.
While versatility may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of gas grills, the new Genesis line is built with the new CRAFTED Outdoor Collection in mind. This allows you to swap standard grill grates out for special sear grates, a baking stone, a flat-top griddle, or even more. A powerful grilling engine, impressive features, and an outstanding 10 year warranty on all parts of the grill to back it up. The immense space and sear station will execute as many steaks as you need to perfection, while the side burner sautés veggies. Those are just a few features that set the Genesis II S-435 apart from your typical grill.
Ever since Weber came out with their Genesis II E-310, there has been quite a lot of skepticism surrounding this gas grill. Most grills have a mechanical igniter of either the push-button or rotary design. More convenient is a battery-operated electronic igniter, which usually ignites the gas on the first try. Some grills also have lighting holes, on the side of or beneath the grill, that can be used with a match should the igniter fail. While burners remain the grill’s most-replaced part, most are warranted for only 3 to 5 years.

But, there’s lots of storage space between the slatted lower shelf and the wire shelf that holds the grease drip pan. Weber’s reputation for building durable, practical outdoor grills goes back decades. Now the company wants you to think smart, too, when you think Weber. To that end, the $850 Weber Genesis II E-310 has lots of what you expect from a Weber BBQ, plus a side of app connectivity. Compared to many of the other products you can buy from this manufacturer, this one is almost triple the price of all of them.
