Weber Genesis E-335 3-Burner Natural Gas Grill in Black with Side Burner

Well-made grill. I love the option to install the frame to hold the pizza stone and the griddle surface. Construction and design are well thought through. We had a stainless steel Ducane for many years (who Weber bought out many years ago), and this improves on the side-burner and the heat plates. The gas burner rods are quite intense, so it’s a bit hard to keep a low temperature on a hot day for low, slow cooking. Obviously not a problem for high-temps or searing! The aftermarket Weber brand handle light is great, especially if you live in the northern half of the U.S. or Canada, and like to barbecue year long and don’t have nearby lighting to see the surface in darker hours. The shelf surfaces are very sturdy for working on, or grabbing to roll the grill to a different location. Stainless steel version is worth it to me for a few extra bucks, so I’m glad we stuck with stainless. Overall, I am quite happy to have a new grill after 20 years with the Ducane. My only minor wish-list item would be a simple spot for smoking wood chips given the price and design of the Genesis S models (I believe it is already on the Summit models), but this is a minor niggle. I bought a gas grill….
