This is my favorite toy. We have a once a month family birthday gathering , and I use it for all the meat, corn, asparagus, Brisket, burgers, dogs, chicken, pork tenderloins, you name it We have a family gathering of 21 people. The grill is perfect size. Then the next day I baby it by cleaning and polishing
Purchased this grill to replace our old 3-burner SS Genesis, which lasted 18 years in our coastal climate. This design has been thoughtfully improved in nearly every way - moving the controls to the front freed up the table on the right for more usable surface; the sear station is great for steaks and burgers, and the storage cabinet on the left holds all of my cleaning supplies. The electronics and Weber app makes it much easier for me to monitor cooking progress remotely. We will enjoy this grill for many years. My only complaint is a lack of built in lighting. The add-on lights seem a bit kludgy.
Overall, I have found the drill performs really well. I find the grill temp sensor to be accurate and very helpful when cooking delicate meats such as fish. The searing option is invaluable after smoking meat to give it that wonderful texture and grilled finish. The next option is to try the meat temp probs & possibly pickup the pizza flat grill option.
Assembling the grill was made easier by placing all the parts separately on the floor, you will need a LOT of space for this. It took about 2.5 hours with the help of my teenage child. The instructions cover multiple models, so there was some confusion when a particular step covered different instructions based on the model and/or upgrades your grill came with. That said, I've used it 2-3 times a week for about two months now. Outside of standard burgers and steaks, I made a pork roast using the Weber Connect temp probes and it came out perfect. Yesterday I made pizzas on a 16 x 16 steel that I already owned and again had great results. Haven't owned a grill in about 20 years and I'm still learning about the different ways to use this, but the continued, consistent results I am getting are making it easier and easier to find new ways to use it.
From instant start to superb temperature control, immediate digital notification of internal temperature to superior design for cleaning and maintenance, phone app monitoring for cookong times and practical recipes that bring the good cook to superior levels. This is truly in All-Star in the grilling game.
New isn’t better. The EX335 is a bit larger however it’s difficult to control the temperature on this new version. Also- the electronics, sensor probes and the app are not easy to use and not trustworthy- have to use a hand held thermometer to make sure food is cooked. Save your money and get a base model with a thermometer in the cover and you’ll be better off
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
