Our Review of the Weber Genesis II line of Gas Grills:
The Skinny:
Best Weber Genesis ll available; excellent value; Thick 9mm Stainless Steel Rod Cooking Grates; Stainless Steel Flavorizer Bars; motion activated handle light; outstanding service & warranty.

Things To Love:
The 2019 iGrill ready Weber Genesis II Special Edition gas grill is an upgraded version of the iconic Genesis II base model. As a proud Weber Alliance Dealer, we can offer you the Genesis II Special Edition, which is not available from most other Weber Grills dealers. Choosing this grill means premium features, including a motion activated handle with lights and thick 9mm stainless steel cooking grates. The Special Edition comes with a 10 year warranty, instead of 5 years like the Genesis II, which come with porcelain enameled cooking grates.

The tried and true Weber Cooking System is great at providing even heat distribution and minimizing flare ups. Within the durable cast aluminum housing, are the triangular-shaped stainless steel Flavorizer Bars with a flame view window. They shield the burners by catching drippings and turning them to smoke, adding flavor back into your food. Weber pioneered the Flavorizer Bar in 1984, and since then they’ve proven to do their job extremely well, which is why they’re still preventing flare-ups on all Weber gas grills today!

The 2019 Genesis II Special Edition is powered by stainless steel burners that get more narrow towards the back of the grill. This shape reduces heat in the back, producing more consistent heat across the cooking surface. The burners are lit by a reliable push button infinity ignition and produce around 13,000 BTUs per burner on the 3 burner models, and are lit by a reliable electronic infinity ignition.

All Weber Genesis ll Gas Grills come pre wired for the iGrill 3. The iGrill 3 Smart Grilling Thermometer (sold separately) is the ultimate grilling tool that makes it easy to achieve grilling perfection. It mounts to your grill allowing you to monitor your food straight from your phone.
The Genesis II Special Edition SE-310 and SE-335 come in black, and the SE-330 gives you the choice of four hot colors, including black, crimson, copper, and smoke.

The 2019 Genesis II Special Edition grills are packed with features. The SE-330 and SE-335 come with a side burner with a 12,000 BTU burner, and a sear station with a 9,000 BTU burner. The sear station creates a high heat zone on the grill that’s hotter than other areas of the grill, creating restaurant quality sear marks on your food. SE-310 and SE-330 come in an open cart design for easy access to your storage under the grill. Like the Genesis II, the Special Edition saves you valuable storage space with its propane tank storage area, located under the right side shelf. This area conveniently allows you to connect and mount your propane tank underneath the side shelf and features a handy gauge which allows you to monitor your fuel level. As an upgrade the SE-335 comes with an enclosed cabinet with two shelves giving you ample storage, perfect for storing dinnerware and utensils.

With over 50 years in business, Weber customer service is as good as it gets. They have a 10 year warranty on the grill body and stainless steel parts parts, like the cooking grids, burners, and flame tamers. They have reputable service and quickly handle any service or replacement part situations.

Things To Consider:
The Weber Genesis II Special Edition does not score well for high heat due to a low maximum BTU output, when compared to other grills in the same class.

  1. Thanks for the nice video! It looks like the S-345 at Costco has all of these features plus lighted knobs, stainless steel top, iGrill system, and grill cover included for the same price (unless I'm missing something).

  2. I have a Genesis 330 which has the side burner. You can't turn the flame down low enough to simmer. Even at the lowest setting, you are approaching, if not hitting, a boil. Are they all like this, or is something wrong with mine?

  3. We have had a terrible time getting in touch with Weber. I have called and left messages along with phone number a day and a half ago! No contact yet. We certainly will not recommend Weber to anyone!!! Supposed to be the best; we’ll we have a problem every year. Will we be able to barbecue this summer???

  4. Hey I own a Genesis II Gas grill, works good until you have a problem. I will not purchase another Weber Grills! I currently own Weber Genesis Gas Grill. Spent almost a grand on it. Company isn't what it used to be. Have had issues with the ignition switch and have contacted Weber on multiple occasions. Grill is still under warranty. Spent over an hour on the phone, only to be told I would receive a call back and not hearing from them. Sent many emails over two months, receiving only automated messages saying they will review the issue and get back with me only to hear nothing from them. Guess they are waiting for the warranty to expire. If you purchase a Weber Genesis, good luck getting them to help you with any issues that occur.

  5. Dont buy this we have it My family bought a while back what a waste of money i would say And is a pain in the butt to clean this grill

    Expensive get something simple better

    Cheaper too I hate this one

  6. This is a perfect example of marketing at its best. They(because it's clearly a team effort) covered EVERY SINGLE aspect and detail anyone could POSSIBLY want to know about with this product, highlighting the mind blowing features(even for something simple/basic) that gives them the cutting edge, and constant visual audio demonstration.

    Whoever they hired for the outcome of this video is clearly the best at what they do. I don't(didn't) even like gas grills and this has got me seriously considering.

    I'd like to see something that has the best of all worlds; gas, charcoal, wood fed, rotisserie, side burners, and the whole works.

  7. Hi there! Awesome content ! Really enjoying your videos! I'm in the market for a new grill and cant make a decision between the Napoleon Prestige 500 (with sear station and rotisserie) and the Weber Genesis ii CSE-335. Can you help please help me!

  8. You guys do some thorough reviews. I am leaning towards the Napoleon Prestige Pro 500. Can you recommend any videos that do head-to-head comparisons between natural gas and propane models on the prestige Pro 500

  9. Is there a difference between the GS4 ignition on the Genesis vs the current ignition on the Summit? Also, is there a difference in the burner design between the two? Will a Summit update be out soon? Thanks, love the reviews.

  10. Hello community, is it possible to add a smoker box to this grill? I though there would be an opening/specially designed place for it but from what I saw in this video they place the smoker box on top of the grill next to the food. Is that the only way to do it? Thank you!

  11. Great video. I am thinking about purchasing one on the site soon.

    Question: can this unit and or the se 435 model be installed outside for a custom built bbq setup? I’m new to that so was just wondering. Thanks a lot.
