But after more rigorous testing, the grill proved to have some serious weaknesses. This thing is built like a tank, but it’s surprisingly underpowered. The updated PUREBLUE (originally called GS4) grilling system is one of the main features of the Genesis and Spirit II lines but not the Spirit line we are discussing today.
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 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.
In my opinion, the grates do not get hot enough for grill marks to happen. I have previously owned three fantastic Weber barbecues, one Weber Q and two of the previous Genesis with sear station. My last unit was damaged in a storm and needed replacement. It had no sear station, but the three burners were more powerful and that this unit would grill as well as the sear station model.
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.
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 weber q 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.
Not to mention, it can also be paired with state-of-the-art technology, which allows you to monitor your cook without even being there. While Broil King is lesser known than the other two brands, they do offer great quality at affordable prices. People seem to be very happy with their services, claiming the company was super quick to respond and fixed their issues within a few hours to a few days.
