When Weber first launched the original Weber Genesis in 1985, it
revolutionised the gas BBQ world. The pitmaster purists who were so used
to cooking over fire were skeptical, but they soon realised in a life
where time matters more than ever – the speed of firing up a gas BBQ and
the incredible barbecue flavour made the Genesis BBQ a real
consideration for folks’ backyard grilling.
We have one of these Genesis BBQs on display in our Hitchin Showroom,
so that you can easily compare with our other gas bbqs. Showroom opening

Cased inside the great looking exterior of the Weber Genesis is the
BBQ’s engine. The BBQ’s main components include the ignition system, the
stainless steel burners, stainless steel Flavorizer Bars and the Grease
management System. Working together you have an incredibly consistent
system that makes BBQing life easy.
The 3 stainless steel burners cased inside Weber’s cast aluminium
cookbox are tapered, meaning gas is distributed evenly from front to
back, spreading the heat equally around the cooking surface.
The new and improved Grease Management System means that you spend less
time cleaning and more time cooking! The shape of the Flavorizer bars
means that fat and juices are funnelled away from the burners into an
easy to remove catch pan. This means that you’re less likely to suffer
flare ups which can ruin food, and you don’t have to spend hours
cleaning the barbecue. Fat travels through the grease management system
into a disposable drip tray – we recommend keeping an eye on this and
changing when it goes past half full – one is included in the BBQ and
replacements can be bought separately, at a reasonably cheap price.
What are Weber Flavorizer Bars? The Weber Flavorizer bars sit straight
above the burners – they get extremely hot so once fat hits them, it
vaporizes that fat and turns it into BBQ smoke – this is where the BBQ
flavour comes from. Fat that doesn’t vaporize is guided by the shape of
the Flavorizer bars down into the Grease management System and into the
catch pan for easy disposal.
Functionality is important, but so are looks and the new Weber Genesis
version wins on that front too! Solid front doors enclose an expanded
storage area that can now house a large 13kg Patio Gas bottle. The
Brushed Steel look of the control panel, knobs, handle and trim makes
this BBQ ooze class.
Barbecuing should be effortless, and Weber’s work towards that has taken
a massive leap forward. Above the normal cooking grate there is an extra
Cooking level – feeding a bigger crowd than normal? This grate can allow
you to barbecue even more food and it has the capacity to smoke a
brisket or just double up as a warming rack. The latest Weber Genesis
has a squarer looking lid and it has more height than its predecessor
(Weber Genesis II E-310) and this not only gives you head space when
using the top cooking grate but it also means that you no longer have to
remove the cooking grates when using a rotisserie – the Weber Rotisserie
can be purchased separately.
This Weber Genesis has two side tables to prep dinner and serve outside.
The large side tables can accommodate multiple serving trays and cutting
boards, so everything is within arm’s reach. All Genesis BBQs have an
electronic Infinity Ignition button for reliable and easy igniting.
