Its lid and pair of side tables are built from heavy steel. Both the grill’s cast iron grates and lid are enameled in porcelain too. My only complaint, a minor one, is Weber’s choice to use some plastic in the E-310’s construction. The ends of the grill’s side tables are wrapped in gray plastic bumpers that cheapens its appearance.

Searing for too long or at too high heat levels gives food burnt charcoal flavors I’d rather do without.
Likewise, medium power on the Genesis, especially cooking with indirect heat, was much cooler than I expected. This resulted in unacceptably long cooking times even when all its burner knob markings were parked dead center of its dial. Both grills differ in the way they cook your food.

The Genesis II relies on what Weber calls the “GS4 High Performance Grilling System,” which involves three propane burners each rated at a robust 37,500 BTU. That’s plenty of heating power to have at your disposal. The Char-Broil SmartChef, by comparison, has three gas burners as well, but they provide less oomph at just 25,000 BTU apiece. You do get a small side burner with Char-Broil’s SmartChef grill, a feature Weber includes on various grills across its product lines, but not on this one. The Genesis range also includes Weber Connect compatibility in select models.
The Weber Genesis II E-310 is among just a few backyard grills that support smart technology. Weber didn’t create this tech on its own — it acquired the iGrill brand from iDevices, a line of Bluetooth, app-connected thermometers, including the $50 iGrill Mini.
