Main Characteristics
Weber Genesis II E-335 Grill is 145-pound grill that offers a good balance between utility and power. It is also loaded with features, which may justify the price slightly below $1,000.
The main grilling area is 513 square inches, which is decent. All three high-performance stainless steel burners pack a total of 60,000 BTU’s of cooking power. That’s reasonable for a three burner setup. The main burner offers 39,000 BTUs per hour, side burner yields 12,000. The rear burner has 9,000 BTUs.
What’s over top of the burners can often be nearly as important as the burners. Porcelain enameled cast iron grates give you a durable surface as well as cleanability only a step below stainless steel. The warming rack is also made of similar material measuring out to 156 square inches. If you are looking for the best durability of the grate, you may consider models with stainless steel grates.
