Find out everything you need to know about one of the best Weber propane gas grills out there today. We give the lowdown on the backyard cooker’s BTU power, features and more with our Weber Genesis II S-435 review. Weber also made the warming rack expandable leading to a maximum cooking area of 787 square inches. The warming rack itself is over 100 square inches larger than the previous model, making it much more useful for cooking more food.
It came out pleasingly caramelized yet not overdone in the center. The side tables and the lid of the grill are made from heavy stainless steel, while the cooking grates are cast iron. Sad, but true, 2016 is the last model year in which all Weber Genesis grills can say, “Made in the United States of America with globally sourced parts and components”. The 2017 model year marks the beginning of Genesis II gas grills being made in China, just like Spirit gas grills have been over the past few years.
The lone Spirit grill that has this functionality is the new Spirit SX-315 smart grill. Driven by his passion for grilling the best steaks for family and friends, Weber’s founder, George Stephen, invented the revolutionary kettle grill in 1952.

The main cooking area of the grill rounded to the nearest 5 sq. Not including any searing burners in the main cooking area. It’s my understanding that the Genesis II LX gas grills are being assembled in the United States…for now.
Today I had a chance to get up close and personal with some of the new 2017 Weber Genesis II gas grills at a local Ace Hardware store in San Jose, CA. One was a 2-burner model, two were 3-burner, and one was 4-burner. When cooking lamb chops for example this would be cooked using the direct weber charcoal grill cooking method on the Genesis. It’s important when cooking on a Weber to preheat the barbecue as directed in the user manual and always cook with the lid down. By following the user directions you should have no issue in cooking your food perfectly and producing wonderful grill marks.
Many gas (that is, propane gas) grills also come in a natural-gas version, usually with a different model number that includes an “N” for natural gas. Some models have a conversion kit (as standard or optional equipment) that requires some modification to a propane grill in order to use it with natural gas. If you’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable with these modifications, you may need to hire a professional to do the job your retailer should be able to help with arrangements. I struggle cooking any decent steak or chops because the heating is too inconsistent across any section of the grill.
With that said, the app requires you to purchase the iGrill 3 device separately, and it costs about $100. It may be worth the money, but your budget needs to bigger to afford the grill AND the device. With this model, you won’t need to make continuous trips into the house to get things because it has everything prepared for you. It is a handy machine that works hard to keep everything centralised to its location. It comes with well-placed tool hooks on the side of the grill.
