Warm, soapy water is your best bet for plastic and enameled parts. Grease also helps to muck up the inside the lid; greasy vapors and smoke collect there and carbonize, hanging like black stalactites in a cave. Just knock off these flakes and scoop or vacuum them up to prevent them from getting onto your food. While you’re at it, use a plastic scraper to clean out the cook box.
Grill shrouds are now slightly shorter, giving each grill a wider body profile and a more luxurious look. If you have a large party the extra space and cooking power will be handy. The new lineup is objectively impressive, decisively differentiating Weber from its competition in terms of quality and versatility.

Full-blast was too much; if I backed off, the temperature quickly dipped.
We’ll also explore the updates that Weber has included with the newer models. With the original Genesis grills, the pressure toward the back of the grill would often be weak, making the portable bbq front section much hotter as a result. The new design attempts to solve these problems with style as well as efficiency. Also stainless grill racks are rusting after 18 months use.
Which of these you’ll really need will vary depending on how you like to grill. By the way, Weber has installed bug screens over the ends of the burner tubes to prevent unwanted guests from taking up residence. No charcoal, no lava rocks, no wood, not even electricity to worry about. However, it’s a versatile grill, so you won’t outgrow its simplicity down the road.
The main cooking surface of the E-330 comprises 507 square inches, with the remaining 130 inches taking up residence on the warming rack. For the II E-330, the main surface covers 513 square inches and the warming rack adds an additional 156. While the Flavorizer bars on the original Genesis E-330 have the same porcelain coating as the cooking grates, the ones on the Genesis II E-330 are made of stainless steel.
The series ranges in size from 3 to 4 burner models, with the option of upgraded models, and either a sleek open cart design or grill cabinet for storing tools. Overall very happy with the Weber BBQ grill purchased last year. I really like having the extra searing burner option, works well.
The Weber Genesis is also available in both natural gas and propane variants, meaning you can have options when it comes to your personal setup. Then, it’ll be up to you to decide portable bbq if this gas grill is all it’s made out to be. Another advantage the iGrill app has over SmartChef is a simple wizard to setup probes to actively monitor your food while it cooks.
I had centered a temperature probe on the indirect side, allowing me to keep the lid down for consistency in testing. Less necessary are little LEDs that light up the dials. As far as I know, it’s still stuck and the lights are still on.
