Heat was fairly well-distributed across the cooking surface and the temperature range was very good, but you’ll need a bit more than 10 minutes of preheating to get it nice and hot. It’s easy to understand why when a gas barbeque will help you cook evenly, they are easy to light and they look so stylish. No longer will you have to spend your time lighting coal and waiting for it to be at the right temperature.

I have a 1/2″ stub-out, but have seen Weber has both a 3/8″ and a 1/2″ natural gas hose. You want the all-around best Weber Genesis ll gas grill from Weber, the biggest name in BBQ. All Weber Genesis ll Gas Grills come pre wired for the iGrill 3.
The Weber Genesis II E-310 gas grill stands nearly 4 feet tall with the lid closed. We would recommend comparing the used prices of both grills before deciding on what model to go with that way you’ll always be sure you’re getting the best value for your money. The weber genesis weighs about 70 pounds, which makes it easy to move around and store during bad weather. There’s a stand that gives a stable base for storage, a nice tray table that extends from either side of the grill , an easy access propane tank holder, and even a convenient drip pan.
Digging deeper, gone are the old tube burners, replaced by tapered shape stainless steel burners with heat deflectors that should provide even heat across the entire cooking space. The new burners look good, giving a tidy and quality feel to the bowels of the grill. But is isn’t just the addition of the extra burner in this grill that makes it both new and an excellent choice. The entire cooking system has been redesigned, most notably, the burners with what they call the GS4 cooking system. In the past, burners on a Weber gas grill were the typical stainless steel tubular burners. What this means is that the fire shots directly up into the “flavorizer” bars and are tapered to provide an even heat front to back.
If a burner seems to be running cool or creates patchy flames, use a thin piece of wire to clean out the gas ports, the little holes. There’s nothing inside the burners to break, so don’t feel like you have to be delicate. Check the grease trap after portable bbq every use , and don’t let it get too full. If it spills over you’ll be cleaning grease out of the inside of your grill for an hour. The entire Genesis II line, like the Spirit II line, interfaces with Weber’s iGrill 3 “smart” thermometer .
The first is the propane tank holder on the side – this lets you easily access a propane tank without needing to lift it over a bulky grill. When huge is simply not big enough, then the Weber Genesis II E-610 is the grill you need. This gigantic 6-burner grill is a steel monster that will probably cook all the food you need for those family gatherings where 3 generations all get together at once.
For $200 more, you get a third burner and a larger cooking area, bumping the Weber Genesis II E-310, $700, into our midsized category. Performance was similar to the E-210, and indirect cooking was even better. Similar to Aelio, Retem has 6 Cocoons that will grant you 1 new skill point for completing them and a tower that will grant you 5.
The burner hoods are usually the first to go, after a couple of years (these are the metal “tents” that sit over the burners and guide grease away from the flames, preventing flare-ups). You can replace them in-kind, or find third-party options that claim higher performance and long lifespans. Moving the tank to the outside also frees up space below the grill, which Weber fills with a generous and sturdy storage shelf.
