Weber Propane Grills Gas Grills

We also compared each grill's average cooking time for chicken and burgers over three identical tests. We run the clock until the last burger reaches 145?F and the lowest chicken breast reaches 165?F. Burger testing points out any hot spots across the grill's cooking surface if one burger consistently reaches 145 F before the others in every weber charcoal grill round. We remove the outer membrane on a rack of pork back ribs and season it with an all-purpose rub we use for ribs and chicken. Then, the ribs are placed on the grates for at least three hours with the lid closed the entire time. It's an anecdotal round, so there isn't a connected thermometer set or software capturing specific data.

That makes it much easier to install a new tank and unhook an old one, because you’re not scrabbling around a small, dark enclosure to find the hoses and brackets. This design also allowed Weber to put a sturdy shelf under the grill—a handy place to store pans, bags of wood chips, a small cooler, and other stuff you may need while grilling. Plus, one of the side tables folds down, making the grill more compact for storage when it’s not in use (it’s 43 inches wide with the table down).

This lets you step away from your grill and mingle with your guests or tend to other food that needs your attention. This is the most affordable Genesis model to include Weber‘s new smart grill system. This model is identical to the entry-level E-325s except for the built-in Weber Connect WiFi temperature monitoring system.

When space is limited, finding the right grill to give you the taste you want can be hard. This gas grill from Monument is compact on the outside but surprisingly large on the inside. It's big enough to cook a spatchcocked turkey weber portable grill or several large steaks, and because it's a gas grill, it's ready as soon as you want to use it. “I installed a thermometer, installed handles on the side of the unit, replaced the legs, and used the door from my other WSM.

The double doors feel substantial, and they swivel smoothly in their hinges. We also like that the base sits on four casters—as opposed to the combination of two casters and two fixed wheels on its predecessor, the Genesis II. And compared with the Spirit II’s two fixed wheels, the casters on the E-325s make it easier for folks with varying abilities to maneuver the cart. However, we’re bummed that Weber decided to move the propane tank hook and gauge from the side (where they sit on the Spirit II and previous Genesis models) to under the firebox inside the cart.

And, of course, if you're looking for a portable gas grill or an indoor grill, these won't be right for you. Grilled chicken should have a crispy skin and meat that is cooked through fully but not dry. We perform this test in three rounds, giving us a solid average cooking time for each grill.

We preheat each grill on high for 10 minutes before turning it down to low, indirect heat. Depending on the grill size, that means turning one or two burners off completely. Thanks to on-board Weber Connect support, this grill has smart abilities too. Linked to your home's Wi-Fi network you can use the Weber Connect app to monitor grill status from your phone.
