This is a fantastic grill, we have been cooking on it every other day for the past two weeks. It is a big improvement over the pellet grill we had been using for the last 5 years. What I really like about the grill is the sear zone. It makes quick work of getting color and marks on the meat. The Grilling Pan is a must to cook veg. The design works a treat to get a good char. The wife loves the technology part of the grill, turn on the grill, start the app and it tells you how the food is cooking, if it is too hot, it will alert you. It is pretty awesome. We have owned gills that cost double and the quality of this grill goes beyond the price.
1. When I first fired up my new Genesis II SX-335 the center burner would not ignite because the igniter was positioned too far from the burner. 2. Because of its shape it is very difficult to line the drip pan tray with aluminum foil and have it remain in place while sliding it back into position. 3. The LPG fitting leaks at the swivel when in certain positions. Otherwise I like this drill.
I have been a Weber fan for years. My recent upgrade to the Genesis II Smart Grill has been awesome, upping my barbecue game with outstanding results. As a sous vide advocate, I love the sear zone feature, and being able to control and track my grill temp and timers on my iPhone is a game changer, with winning results every time.
Excellent grill, gets super hot and retains heat. WiFi works great. Monitoring the temperature remotely was more useful than we expected. Steaks have been perfectly cooked.
