Weber Genesis E-325s: What to Know

The Genesis line is Weber's mid-tier gas grill family, sitting above the entry Spirit series and below the electronics-equipped Genesis Smart models. The specific listing we're pointing to is the liquid-propane, black-finish E-325s (Amazon ASIN B09MV26KZV) — Weber also sells this same platform as a natural-gas model and in other finishes like copper under separate ASINs, so if you land on this grill through a search engine, double-check the fuel-type field on whatever listing you actually click before buying, since the photos can look nearly identical across configurations.

Per Weber's own spec sheet, the E-325s runs three 39,000-BTU main burners plus a separate 13,000-BTU sear burner, with 513 square inches of primary porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grate and a 128-square-inch warming rack for about 641 square inches of total cooking space. That's a genuinely large cooking surface for a three-burner grill, and the extra-large dedicated sear zone is the feature that differentiates the 's' models from the plain Genesis E-325 — it's meant for searing multiple steaks at full heat without dragging down the temperature of the rest of the grate.

The current listing bullets also call out an expandable top cooking grate for a second grilling level, compatibility with Weber's Crafted accessory system (sold separately), a redesigned pull-out grease tray, and extra-large stainless steel side prep tables. None of that is unique in this price bracket, but Weber's aftermarket parts support — replacement burners, grates, and igniters that are still stocked for models a decade old — is a real, verifiable advantage over some of the smaller brands on this list, and it's the main reason this sits at the top of the list rather than a spec-sheet comparison alone.
