Webber genesis ii11/1/2023 ![]() ![]() While the cast iron grate is wonderful it simply is not as nice as the stainless steel option. The cooking grate on the “E” version of this grill is made of porcelain enameled cast iron. As a general rule, whenever I have found an SE model of any Weber grill at a brick and mortar retailer it was ridiculously over priced. The SE grills are not listed on the Weber website or anywhere else online so consumers cannot do any price comparisons. The SE is designed to be a high end money maker for Weber dealers and not a value play for consumers. While I love the grate I hate the cost of the SE. The cooking grate on the “SE” model is the same stainless steel grate found on the “S’ model. These grates are just slightly less thick than you get on the premium Weber Summit 670 but are every bit as nice. The rods will not rust, give great grill marks and are ridiculously easy to clean. The cooking grate on the “S” model is made from 7mm stainless steel rods and is spectacular. Stick with me here…I can make sense out of this for you! Of the three models available the only one that I recommend is the stainless steel “S” 335. Here is a great video that shows all of the details for the Genesis II SE 335. It also comes with a grill light attached to the handle. The SE model has a porcelain enameled lid and cabinet with a stainless grate. The “SE” model gets its name from the fact that it is a “S”pecial “E”dition that is not available online and is only sold through a Weber Alliance dealer. This grill has cooking grates made from 7mm stainless steel rods. The “S” model gets its name from the fact that the lid and cabinet body are constructed from “ S“tainless steel. This grill has cooking grates made from cast iron. are constructed of porcelain “ E”nameled steel. The “E” model gets its name from the fact that the lid and cabinet body. While the functionality is identical between the grills there are some design differences. The three different versions of the 335 are the E, S and SE. The only one of these grills that I would buy is the Genesis II S 335 ( Here is the link to buy on Amazon).ĭifferences Between the Genesis II 335 E, S and SE Models There are three different versions of the grill and while I like them all there is only one that I recommend. While the 335 grill is spectacular, buying the right one can be confusing. The much cheaper Spirit grills were the best decision as the quality of Spirit has sky rocketed in recent years and there was no clear performance advantage in the Genesis grills. ![]() However, instead of people making the upgrade to the Summit 670 they decided to downgrade and buy a Spirit. I suspect the Sear Station was removed from the Genesis series in 20 as a way of getting people to upgrade to the Summit series. While the Sear Station burner was included on the Genesis 330 from 2010 through 2016, it was not available on any of the the Genesis II grills from 20. ![]() The core feature of the 335 is the fire power supplied by three primary burners, side burner and, most importantly, the Sear Station burner. Now, for the first time in years, there is finally a reason to buy a Genesis instead of a Spirit. The folks over at Weber finally caved in and brought back the grill that everyone really wanted, the Genesis II 335.
