Weber Genesis s330 Gas Grill

This model was discontinued in 2016 and replaced by the Genesis II and II LX lines.

Genesis is one of the most popular grills in the USA, appearing in backyardBBQ coast to coast. Like all Genesis models, the S-330 has three stainless steel burners that line up from left to right with control knobs on the front panel. This burner configuration is relatively new. Prior to 2011 Genesis burners lined up from front to back with control knobs on the right side shelf. The current design is better for 2-zone indirect cooking and frees up the side shelf for workspace. The S-330 also includes a 10,000 BTU sear burner located between the left and middle main burners. Use of the sear burner with all three main burners boosts the E-330 Heat Flux number (BTU/Primary Cooking Surface) from 74.95 to 94.67. A 12,000 BTU side burner is added to the right side shelf as well.

Genesis E and EP models are colorful porcelain coated enamel whereas the S models are 430 stainless steel.  The S-330 is readily available online and at all big box stores in LP and NG models. It has a double wall stainless steel hood and double cart doors. The cart is painted metal with stainless steel control panel and side shelves and four casters. The hood and shelves have cast aluminum end caps with tool hooks on the shelves.

It features 7mm stainless steel rod cooking grates and stainless flavorizer bars with battery powered ignition. S-330 LP models come with a “Precision Fuel Gauge” located inside the cart next to the LP tank. Hang the tank on the fuel gauge scale, it measures the weight in 20% increments and shows your approximate fuel level. An S-310 model is offered that is the same as the S-330, but without a sear burner and a side-burner.

Black and stainless steel add-on cabinets that nestle under the side tables are optional and stainless work surface extensions are also available. The add-on cabinets have adjustable height wire shelves.
