On the other side of the size spectrum, the new Genesis series features grills with four and six burners for those who like to do some serious grilling. You can likely see the difference between these two sets of images—the old burners became more easily clogged, as well as suffering from uneven temperatures from the front of the grill to the back. The most common issue was a hotter front of the grill than the back as a result of the gas pressure not reaching the back of the grill. The new Genesis II burners solve both issues with a tapered design and larger, protruded openings to address these concerns with aplomb.

You’ll notice a single push-button igniter on the Genesis II series, with an igniter on each individual knob (featuring easy-press design) on the Genesis II LX series. The LX series also boasts an ambient light and high-heat option on each unique knob, a luxurious set of features that also serves to set the LX series apart.
All the wheels are now swivel casters making it easier to move your grill, while two of the casters have locks to keep your grill stationary while grilling. One of the smaller models, the Spirit E-310 can still be enough to serve up to seven people. The fuel tank is mounted outside with a large, easy-to-read fuel gauge. The three burners put out 32,000 BTUs per hour over the 529 total square inches of cooking space. The main cooking are is 424 square inches and the warming rack adds another 105. The Spirit line serves as a more introductory line and the grills feature 32,000 BTUs per hour as their normal operating specs.
The Genesis EX-325s utilizes three burners for 39,000 BTUs per hour to cook across the 787 total square inches of cooking space. This includes the expanded warming rack that features 274 square inches of cooking space. While the EX-325s offers a lot in the way of connectivity, it does have some limits on storage. It still features six tool hooks for your grilling tools, but it does not come with the grill locker that some of the new Genesis models have. It does have the two side shelves, but that required sacrificing a side burner for additional cooking space. As you move into a more premium price point, the Weber Genesis SPX-435 is the top premium option.
