Evenness of heating over the grill’s surface at the highest and lowest setting using all main burners plus the evenness after a 10 minute preheat, using thermocouples. Pair the impressive power with plenty of grilling space, excellent heat distribution, and an portable bbq abundant amount of storage – the Genesis II E-310 really seems like it’s worth the price. That being said, it has less storage space than the other grill, as well as less cooking space. People tend to go for this grill over the Genesis due to the lower price.
The side burner on the Genesis E-330 II is particularly effective, to the point where you need to keep a close eye on it to avoid overcooking your ingredients.

However, it has side tables to provide you with an extra workspace to prepare food and place utensils and anything else that you may need as you cook. They are made of stainless steel, which makes them easy to clean. The Genesis II range of grills from Weber remain the best gas grills around.
This brings us to the LX grill with the largest cooking surface, the six-burner Weber Genesis II LX S-640. It costs $2,000 and scores almost as well as the four-burner model above, although its temperature range wasn’t as wide. At 6 feet long, it takes up about as much space as a couch. The two-burner Weber Genesis II LX S-240 is a small grill, and at $1,000, it’s one of the most expensive small grill in our tests. Heat was fairly well-distributed across the cooking surface and the temperature range was very good, but you’ll need a bit more than 10 minutes of preheating to get it nice and hot.
