Weber Genesis

Amazing BBQ – This Webener BBQ is amazing. Easy to use and clean. I get to make tasty meals. This is a wonderful thing to have at home. I get to spend time with my family and friends while enjoying the scrumptious food I serve.

Love my Weber – I had a Weber barbecue and loved cooking on it. When eldest son moved out, I thought it was time to upgrade so he commandeered the Weber and I purchased an outdoor barbecue kitchen - that was a mistake Unfortunately the kitchen did not cook as well as the Weber and within three years it had rusted . So back to Weber . Purchased the Weber Genesis… Read more ·  1

E-325s , mine is a bottled gas unit, there is a natural gas version as well Colour black. Dimensions - Lid Open (centimetres) 160.02cm H x 157.48cm W x 78.74cm D Dimensions - Lid Closed (centimetres) 123.19cm H x 157.48cm W x 68.58cm D Top grill (square centimetres) 1768 cm² Primary cooking area (centimetres) 3310 cm² It is advertised as a three burner barbecue , but the sear station actually makes it a four burner. This barbecue actually has a cooking area larger than my previous five burner. My barbecuing is so much better I sear the steak both sides on the searing stain then place the steak on the other burner close the lid and ten minutes later perfectly cooked steak. Our steaks are now so delicious I have cooked kebabs , chicken skewers , and even a piece of roast pork All have been cooked to perfection This barbecue comes with a fantastic hot plate (see photo) and a silver stand that allows you to cook with a wok or a pizza stone (see photo) Both of these are very easy to install just remove the right hand side grill and place in either the hot plate or the stand. I have advised my family that Weber accessories are now on my Christmas wish list -the pizza stone and vegetable grilling basket are high on the list. The right hand side has a prep table that folds down if required. I have found it very easy to clean this barbecue It comes with a plastic spatula, after cooking I generally scrape the grill, Leave it to cool after w have eaten and the barbecue has cooled down I give it a light wipe over and leave it. Next time I use it I will fire it up with the lid open it has a great ignition system, Put the lid down for 10 minutes to burn off the remnants of the previous grill, then scrape with a Weber grill brush , wipe down the grill and it’s all red at to go. I know oil my food directly rather than on the grill this is recommended by Weber. There is a slanted grill drip tray that just needs scraping to clean the barbecue I have found it very easy to clean I highly recommend this barbecue. Barbecuing is now a regular activity in my house I am so glad I am back with a Weber Also purchased the recommended Weber cover

Stunning results on this bbq with exceptional after sales service – Where to start? The double layer hood and the cast iron enamel coated grills set this bqq apart by a mile. As an oven the heat is even and however you want to cook, long and slow or high and fast either is possible. A roast, a small cut, steak or vegetable can be placed straight on the center grill and cooked indirectly (middle burner off) without… Read more

burning the bottom. Alternatively the sear station allows the high heat of the grill to make perfect marks on just about anything. Char grilled capsicum can be done this way without the need for the extra sear burner. The temp can be managed from 100 to 300 C. Its important, like any manual oven (no thermostat) to monitor the temp and minimize hood opening. The meringue on a pie I cooked even worked and I'd do a pavlova or a cake on a trivet in this oven its so controllable. Roast pork had the best crackling but retained moisture in the meat.

The gas bottle hung on the outside makes turning on/off and swapping it a breeze - no need for wresting into a cabinet. The gas level measuring gauge is a handy guide.

The after sales service and warranty was friendly, helpful, suprising and exactly as described on the website. Due to humidity and closeness to the beach my bbq did develop some corrosion in the first 3 years. Yeah well you expect that near the beach! That corrosion was noticed on a picture I sent to Weber Australia to identify the model for some accessories I was inquiring about. They said corrosion shouldn't happen that fast and arranged a technician to come out and change all the parts effected. Excellent service!

Cleaning. Best fat management ever! Fat drains into the large receptacle perfectly. I have also used a bucket that fits under. That is handy when washing out the cooking box from time to time. The grill wipes almost clean with an enjo oven cleaner rag after the bbq is cool. Any burnt residue almost completely brushes off with the Weber stainless steel brush when hot. Its great to be able to get the bbq clean for changing cooking from meat to fish or baking.

So there you go that's been my experience. Weber bbq's are more expensive, (well a lot more) than most but really when you average it out over 10 or even 5 years its not that much really. People I talked to before I got my Genesis said its hard to appreciate the differences without using one but I would love it. They were right!

LOVE this BBQ! – Despite this model being discontinued I am so happy with it that I felt a review was still needed. After 20+ years of charcoal BBQ's we finally bit the bullet and splashed out on a Weber, mostly because of all the excellent reviews as well as wanting the convenience of one touch ignition and ease of cooking, and also so that we could get away from… Read more ·  1

the caveman notion of dad being the only person able to BBQ. I never expected that we would be using it as often as we do, at least once a week. A big family means a mid week BBQ is the norm, and with this it's no big deal because it couldn't be easier to use. I've played around with slow cooking and roasting, both something I would never have tried on our old BBQ. Results have been excellent and I'm only sorry we didn't buy one of these sooner.

My one and only gripe is that cleaning it isn't fun. We scrub the grills before every use once they're nice and hot, but I also try to give it a big pull-everything-out clean every few months, mostly because we use it so often. Avoiding using abrasive cleaners like oven sprays makes it a pretty tough job and it's never looked like brand new even though I know that it is clean.

Worth The Expense, Only Time Will Tell – So I finally got talked into retiring the flat top three burner we bought shortly after we moved in together, 20 years ago. I had replaced the hot plate and grill from cast iron to stainless around the 10 year mark, and that was after one cast iron replacement for each. Plus all three burners have been replaced at least once but still the same BBQ… Read more ·  2

right. Always had a cover and seemed to do the basics. After some (ok, a lot) of research, tire kicking at BBQ shops and talking to mates with big hooded jobbies, we finally took the plunge.

It came down to two, a Brown and Ziegler or the Weber Genesis E330. The sub $1000 BBQs just felt flimsy and while the B&Z are very sturdy, I just couldn't justify the extra in comparison to the Weber. Sure the burners look funky but not 400 bucks fancy and let's be honest, who cares as long as it gets hot right.

I put mine together myself. A couple hours in the garage being supervised by my four legged (mostly asleep) supervisor. The only bit that could have done with a better caution, is removing the protective wrap from the side shelves and how handling the SS edges might be like putting your hand in a shredder. A few nicks and what looked like a lot of blood later, the beast was assembled (clean) and ready to fire up.

I took out the cast iron plate and grill, replacing with my previous SS from topnotch, I'm not tossing that out. Well what can I say, it was amazing. Got to 300 C in about ten minutes flat. I cooked steak that night and did salmon and veggies tonight. A little on the over done side but I'm still getting used to it. Nice cover (costs extra), wheel locks, sturdy as, what more could you ask for. Stop wondering, go out and buy it and yes the sear station is worth it. I couldn't care less about the side burner but it's there if I need it.

My only gripe is the pricing, same as Apple, Dyson, etc. They won't budge. Oh and the colour range in Australia versus the US, here it's black or nothing. In the US there are a few different colours to choose from.

Excellent product backed up by excellent after sales and support – By far the best BBQ on the market, you buy you are buying a lifelong product backed up by suburb after sales support. Can't fault the Weber 320 for performance. It will do roasts to perfection and will do the crackling on pork brilliantly. It is a chefs BBQ. Holds the heat well, large capacity and can cook for a crowd. Nothing compares.  Show details

All you read is true, the E330 is BBQ Awesomeness – I decided to take the plunge on a decent BBQ, I got this one discounted as it is a discontinued model. It is by far the best gas BBQ I ever owned. It's a heat monster that allows me to cook a pizza at 700°F in about 3 minutes. Getting the exact temperature you want is a piece of cake wether you want to dial a low and slow cooking or volcano… Read more

like heat to sear your meat.

I keep my Neff oven for baking, everything meat is now cooked in the Weber.

Good but not perfect! – On the whole this model is satisfactory,we have had others over the years and find the Weber on par with the rest.But I want to draw prospective purchasers attention to one design flaw in this model,we have mains gas hooked up to our barbecue.When I finish I normally turn the knobs off and put the cover on the barbecue,what happens next is that a … Read more

gas smell can be detected.Apparently in the process of fitting and adjusting the cover over the barbecue the knobs are nudged and turned on very easily.This is a major design flaw which could easily be rectified for future production.In the meantime I have had to call out a plumber to install an off /on control on my gas outlet independent of the barbecue.Apart from this issue we are happy with the performance and results from this model,hope this helps future buyers of Weber.

Delivery plus installation – Hi, i purchased a Weber E330 yesterday, and reading comments here, you had mentioned that Weber includes free delivery and installation, well not by where i purchased, only if it was to be wall mounted, is this the case, as was not happy Jan to pay an extra $200.00.

Not totally impressed – Gas bottle sits on outside of bbq only on Australian models to meet Australian design rules at least put some strength in side panel weight of full gas bottle bows panel. 1599 dollar bbq to have an ugly bottle on side not impressed plus the lid would of been much better if it was a roll back design you need to much wall clearance when opening lid. Let's hope the cooking results makes up for these issues.

Taking the BBQ to a whole new level and amazing after sales support – The quality of the BBQ is very high and this makes it easy to clean and the cooking performance excellent. They are more expensive up front although I would not hesitate to buy again. Friend of mine have bought them as well and feel the same way. The igniter button had an issues and within a week a service person arrived and replaced the entire… Read more

mechanism - it was great service. My dog chewed off the button (yes the new one) and again the customer service team were very prompt and service was excellent.

They are a premium brand, with a product and customer support to match.

Great quality bbq. Food tastes better – Easy to use and clean. We use it more than the oven. Food cooks better and tastes better. Have been really happy with it. The gas bottle indicator is not very accurate though but don’t really care as it’s just a gimmick I think. Best bbq that we have owned.  Show details

Great BBQ – This is a great BBQ--- far surpasses any BBQ i have owned in the past. Great features for ease of cleaning and everything is great quality. Steak searer is a great feature and also cooks a roast to perfection. Yes it is not cheap however you get Weber American quality which makes you feel great just using it. Paid extra and had weber come out… Read more ·  1

to assemble as well give you a thorough run through on how to use its features together with cleaning tips. Well worth the extra money for piece of mind .

Best BBQ I've ever owned – I was at a friends house who partner owns one of these. I was so impressed with it, I convinced my hubby who was looking for a new bbq to get the same one. Build quality is great. The base could have been slightly sturdier but the bbq itself is solid. It replaces the oven and gives meat a much better texture and flavour. Not to mention… Read more ·  1

its super easy to use and has so many functions to make each meal better than the last.

The booklet it comes with is detailed and a great bonus.

We are really happy with our Weber, it lives up to the name without a doubt.

Dinner sorted – This is the best B B Q that we have ever owned. My husband is in his element when he is in charge of dinner and this beauty can do it all. It heats up quickly and and can produce great steaks, snags and vegetables in no time or can slow roast a large joint and feed a crowd. this barbeque was a little more expensive than some but it was well worth every dollar.The genesis takes pride of place under our pergola and is easy to maneuver around.  Show details ·  2

BBQ boss, yes that's me – yes mate! bought this monster a year ago when bbq'ing i am the boss, sear station is where it's at when searing steaks (ya all dreaming if you buy anything else) pay the mun & enjoy the power need extra heat, lamb chops? turn up the sear station to smash them chops over the grill this thing has power so turn it up! every now and… Read more ·  1

again i put the big butt webber on the ute and rock upto long weekend beach, park party's (toss factor = big)

but i am the boss when everyone is quit being cut at me for the overkill & i'm bbqing everyone loves the quality of the gas bbq, the flavourizer bar smashes the fat n oils back into the recirculating heated air under the huge double insulated hood

and that flavour?

just like charcoal

i am the boss!!! thank you webber.

[gas management is great]

Early days but I am in love – I pondered for a while before I bought my new Weber Genesis and I am so so happy. It is easy to use. Heats up beautifully - fast and hot. The gas bottle hanger with the gauge to indicate how much gas is in the bottle gives me confidence before I start. It is early days but I have been barbequing non-stop. I love it.  Show details ·  1

Possibly the world's best BBQ! – I had an existing four-burner hooded BBQ that had given me satisfactory performance for a decade, but prone to flareups, heavy use of gas and not very good at all for roasting, etc. From the top, the E330 is expensive, costing not quite double a cheapie four burner BBQ. But it is exceptional, very high quality, and economical on gas. It cooks… Read more ·  1

a whole stuffed chicken & vegetables perfectly with the lid down in 90 mins. straight on the char-grill (indirect, with outside burners only) with no pan or turning necessary. It cooks pizza also straight on the grill in the same way, and no need for a pizza stone. And it cooks traditional BBQ with no flareups and with minimal attention. I'm going to cook the turkey on it this Xmas! Its almost impossible to make it stuff up!

Downsides? Took a bit of assembling. The gas gauge is only an approximation. And Weber accessories like covers, lights, etc. are expensive. But otherwise faultless. I love it!

Decent BBQ with some flaws – Finding it to be a well constructed BBQ that was simple to assemble , gets up to temp reasonable fast even with a decent breeze and maintains it , cooking time is vastly decreased with hood down convection method comparative to your open top BBQ . Gas life is excellent. Flaws that i have found Needs a better fat deflector in rear of hood… Read more ·  1

right where hinge pins are as it manages to run down the back of bbq on outside

For the price wouldve been nice to have high grade stainless(20% chromium) wings/side benches to avoid the rust that will invariably develop over time

A bigger plate option , its to small to do your bacon eggs tomato brekky on all at once for more than 3 people , this is what i dislike about it most

A viewing window would be a great addition

I will give it an 8.5/10 and recommend it

This must be the king of the range – All meat is cooked to perfection.Better than a steakhouse.The seering option makes a great difference to the product.It is easy to keep clean, and there is no fat spill outside the barbecue. The direct and indirect cooking method available allows for a variety of different ways to cook and bake.  Show details ·  1

E330 - Plse explain the price difference btw the States and AU. I have noticed several Qs but no ans – Hello re: E330 Genisis Can anyone explain the price difference btw purchasing in the States and Australia. $US699 @ 1.3255 = $AU926.52. (Prices based on purchasing from Amazon and Home Depot) I understand importing costs and gas regulations in Australia but this is absolutely ridiculous. Why is the difference approx. $AU672.48 ($1599-926).  Show details ·  2

Brilliant....cooks magnificently – I needed a new BBQ, had a quality Beefeater for years but moved house and it was too hard to transport. So, I researched BBQs for months. Ended up going for the Genesis® E-330. It is absolutely brilliant. I was dubious at first, suspect of the sales spin and the sear station. However, after the first night cooking fish and beef I was absolutely… Read more ·  1

sold. I am not a big red meat eater, but I am now. Everything just works - especially the sear station, and it does what it says. Great work on the recipe book as well, it is superb and if you follow the instructions, you will end up with perfectly cooked fish, meat.

Weber make the best BBQ's in Australia and back it up with the best after sales service imaginable – My Weber Genesis is now 14 years old. The only reason I haven't bought a new one, is that they still carry a full parts catalogue at very reasonable prices for this OLD BBQ! I have just this week ordered a new frame. (the old one had nearly rusted through) They give away replacement ignitors for free (even when your bbq is 14 years old) If you are looking to purchase a BBQ, buy a Weber, you won't regret it, no matter what the price!  Show reply

My Webber 330 – I am very pleased with my Webber Genesis 330, had great service from Coastline Barbeques and Webber with the on site assembly. Have been able to cook some great steaks. I can recommend this barbeque it does a great job. Check out Coastline at Oxenford you will get a good deal.  Show reply

Good BBQ, has 2 faults. bad follow up service – Good barby but would want to be for the price, look out Weber your competition is catching you. Rang Weber Aus with 2 suggestions, got the usual "all our managers are in a meeting, will ring you back" spiel. Still waiting. First suggestion was put a right angle connection on the hose that connects to the gas bottle so that the hose can actually be… Read more ·  1

fitted to the bottle while on the scales. Second suggestion was eliminate the need to push the gas control knobs in to turn off the gas. It's ok to have to push the knobs in to light but it an accident waiting to happen to come up to a hard stop and then have press the knob in to turn off the gas.

Edit, did get a phone call about 24 hours after the first so that is good. She was surprised about the gas hose not being long enough and is sending out a technician regarding the knob issue, they are not supposed to stop before the gas is cutoff. So all good, Weber lives up to it's good name and service.

Amazingly Good – We did not intend to pay as much as we did for a BBQ but purchasing the Weber Genesis S330 was well worth the money. We have not used it to its full potential; have used it just a few times and have found no fault with it as yet but I guess time will tell. So far we have no regrets and would recommend this product to any foodie who is interested cooking a good steak, chicken, chops and even grilling potato chips - the outcome is near perfect.  Show reply

An amazing BBQ – We had an old unit which had serviced us well, but it was ready for the "great BBQ in the sky". I knew I wanted a Weber as its replacement, due to their renowned reliability and durability... so I did my research and settled on the Genesis E330. Well, I christened this 3-burner beauty last night for a family BBQ and I have to say that I'm very… Read more ·  1

impressed. The meat was flavoursome and tender. Sure, this BBQ is not cheap, but it is so easy to use and will last the test of time. The quality of food it will churn out for us in coming years will be second to none. I'm already salivating at the thought.

The main burners and side burner all work very well... but for me it's all about the Searing Station. What a feature and so easy to use. My first crack at it last night and it was nothing short of superb. The whole BBQ is easy to clean too. We're having friends over tomorrow for an afternoon BBQ. Can not wait to show off my new toy..!! Easy to use, easy to clean, quality searing station for the best home cooked steaks... and of course Weber's famed reliability and durability. Very expensive... (but worth it!)

Great but we are getting screwed on price – Ok, great BBQ , weber is a quality brand, if your in the market for a high end unit ...Genesis will be your answer there no need to get any of the summit range as frankly the genesis does what it does for half the price , leaving extra cash to get a decent pellet grill ( green mountain ) , For the top of the range Summit you can get the E330.… Read more ·  1

Green Mountain pellet grill ...and you will still have $1700 left for meat and pellets

my main issue is the Australian mark up on the units themselves. Double what your paying in the states, I received a detailed email from someone at weber to justify the charges...and in there own mind I am sure they think it fair. I did the math 60-70% mark up fair but double ????

All this said the E330 is a great BBQ - if they were nice they would throw in a cover or some tongs or similar....bit stingy...c'mon send me something Great...you will love it Expensive...but a quality BBQ

Quality all over! – Although I was a bit disappointed that we in Australia are paying a massive premium over the US when it comes to this BBQ's its clear that there is a reason apart from exchange rate, import taxes and so on. The service Weber Australia provides is second to none. Once you make your purchase a Weber guru comes out to where you live and assembles… Read more ·  3

your BBQ for you, gives it a test and some pointers on how to best use it and takes all the rubbish and boxes with him.

The BBQ itself is of fantastic quality, made in Chicago and finished beautifully. I plan to keep this BBQ for the long term, i know parts will be easy to come by if something needs to be replaced many years down the track.

It cooks faster, more even and less guessing. What you produce is fantastic meals every time.

They also have a great range of accessories to compliment you're BBQ. Faster even cooking, less gas means less cost. Built in the USA with great fit and finish, will last a life time if taken care of.

Exceeded expectations – This is the first review I have done. I love this bbq so much I decided to share my experience. First of all If you love steaks.. This is the one to get. The sear stations works wonders and if done right, you pretty much get the same results you would at the Keg or any steakhouse. Heated up to 500F in 5 mins. Keeps the hot air warm. Scale… Read more ·  2

underneath to tell you amount of propane left. Every piece I put together was high quality metal, plastic washers to avoid rust. Fit and finish is 98% made in USA.

Cons little pricey ( you get what you pay for) maybe difficult to put together if your not handy. Stainless steel grates kind of stick compared to cast iron. (was told will last longer) Other than that sear station is perfect for steaks. If you dont like steaks than you can get the E-320 model for cheaper. Exceeded all my expectations in performance and quality of build. quality parts pricey

Best BBQ ever – I have owned my weber for 11 years now it just keeps going. I have burnt through 2 sets of grills which have been replaced free of charge by weber with there 25 yr warranty, I will never buy another brand of BBQ, for long after the price is forgotten the quality still shines through. Weber is a great company and they stand by their product. I use… Read more ·  10

mind nearly every day, it looks a bit forlorn on the outside but the engine is still motoring. I would love the new one with the searer but my hubby won't budge while this one is still cooking. Quality keeps on going

This would have to be the best BBQ experience – Like most who are looking to spend a bit more on a quality item I did a lot of research as I was replacing my 10 year old 6 burner. My investigation led me to the BeefEater and Weber Genesis E-330 however the finish and versatility of the E330 was just appeared on the shop floor that much better, at first I was concerned as I was used to open… Read more ·  2

grill cooking but after the first steak with the Sear station I was convinced. Since then it has been used nearly every other day, Roasts take half the time to cook and with perfect results, all foods which are marinated or rubbed have a juice flavour throughout.

The quality is astounding and the finish superb I cannot recommend this highly enough. I believe it has just taken out the 2012 Choice BBQ review and after using it understand completely. It is built well with a 25 year warranty, also for the price they come out and install it for you. Can't beat that for service and quality.

If cleaning was always a pain then the Genesis is built in such a way that you can just lift every thing out and wipe it down. I use a wire brush and cold water and after 5 minutes pre heat everything just wipes off the grille. Quality build, sear station,versatility, maneuverability , long warranty period and service They are expensive, accessories are also on the pricey side but it will last

Bad customer service – Worst customer service have been stonewalled multiple times wanting parts replaced that have been defective Show details
