Weber Genesis EX-325W Smart
The smart 3-burner Genesis in Weber's current "W" generation, which replaced the 2022 E-325s generation the existing catalog entry refers to. It carries the same 513 sq in primary grate as the old E-325s but adds a built-in WiFi thermometer with one wired food probe reporting to the Weber Connect app, and a Sear Zone that Weber rates to 750°F. LP as priced; natural gas is $949.

Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓WiFi thermometer and food probe are built into the grill, not a $100 aftermarket accessory
- ✓750°F Sear Zone from two dual-row PureBlu burners is hot enough for a real steakhouse crust
- ✓49,000 BTU over 513 sq in is a notably higher heat density than the Spirit line below it
- ✓12-year cookbox and lid warranty, with 10 years on burners, grates and Flavorizer bars
- ✓Grates flip to accept Weber Crafted griddle and pizza inserts without a separate frame kit purchase
Cons
- ✗4.1 stars is the weakest rating of any Weber in this batch, and across only 68 reviews
- ✗No side burner at $899, which several competitors include well below this price
- ✗Only one food probe included; multi-cut cooks need more channels
- ✗Weber Connect components carry a 3-year warranty against 12 on the cookbox — the electronics are the short-lived part
- ✗The renamed "W" generation means parts and accessory guides written for the older E-325s do not always match

Weber Genesis E-325s
The Weber Genesis E-325s is a 3-burner premium propane gas grill with a dedicated sear zone and side burner, part of Weber's redesigned Genesis line. Weber is the benchmark brand for backyard gas grills. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Weber Genesis E-325. (2024 refresh dropped the 's' (stainless flavorizer bars became porcelain); weber.com E-325s NG listed $849 'Currently Unavailable', new E-325 $899)
Weber
Weber Genesis E-415
The four-burner Genesis with an enclosed cabinet, and the volume seller of the Genesis line. 646 sq in of primary grate — 820 sq in with the warming rack — makes it roughly a third larger than the 3-burner Genesis models, at the cost of the Sear Zone and smart thermometer those carry. Porcelain-enameled steel lid and painted steel doors; the S-415 is the same grill in stainless for $100 more.

Weber Spirit E-325
The top of Weber's non-smart Spirit line and the model directly above the Spirit E-310 already in this catalog. It adds a Sear Zone — two Boost Burners that concentrate roughly 40% more power over one section of the grate — plus 360 sq in of primary grilling space against the E-310's 424 sq in total. Priced as the LP version in black; natural gas runs $549.

Weber Q 2800N+
The grill that replaced the Q 2200 in Weber's US lineup and is now effectively the whole Q series here. Against the old Q 2200 it adds 14% more grate area (320 vs 280 sq in) and 50% more heat (18,000 vs 12,000 BTU), plus a separate 4,000 BTU "Plus" burner that lets the dome hold a genuine 250°F for roasting. Priced as the tabletop unit; the rolling stand is a separate $129.99 accessory, or $599 bundled.

Weber Spirit E-210
The Spirit E-210 is the compact half of Weber's best-selling gas grill family - the current Snap-Jet generation of the 2-burner that thousands of small-patio owners have run for decades. The formula hasn't changed because it works: a porcelain-enameled cookbox that won't rust through (and is warrantied for 10 years against it), cast iron grates, Flavorizer bars that turn drippings into flavor instead of flare-ups, and burners that light on the first click years in. At 48 inches wide it fits patios and townhome decks where even the 3-burner E-310 feels bulky, and the 2025 refresh added per-burner Snap-Jet ignition and Weber Works rails for accessories. The honest limits: 26,600 BTU across two burners means preheating takes a while, a hard steakhouse sear takes patience, and two burners make real indirect cooking cramped - a whole chicken works, a brisket doesn't. Owners also note the current generation's lid can drip rainwater into the grease tray if stored uncovered. Against value rivals like the Char-Broil Performance, you pay roughly double up front and get a grill that routinely outlives three of them; used Spirits famously hold resale value.
