Weber Genesis E-325 Liquid Propane Gas Grill

Overview

A freestanding 4-burner propane grill with 641 square inches of cooking area, model 1500533, finished in stainless steel and black. Built for a full-size backyard cooking area rather than a compact patio, given its 188 lb weight and 57.7 inch width.

With four burners spread across 641 square inches, this grill covers enough surface to cook a main protein and side dishes at the same time across separate heat zones. The stainless steel cook box paired with a black cart is a common combination for keeping cost down while the exposed steel resists surface rust. At nearly 190 lbs it is meant to stay in one spot on a patio or deck rather than get wheeled around for tailgating.

• 4-burner propane grill
• 641 sq in cooking area
• Stainless steel cook box, black cart
• Freestanding design, 188 lb

Who it's for

Suits a household that grills regularly for a family or small gatherings and wants separate burner zones for different foods at once. Not a fit for anyone short on patio space, since the footprint runs nearly 58 inches wide.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Four burners let you run different heat zones at once, searing on one side while holding food warm or cooking slower items on another. Stainless steel construction on the cook box is meant to hold up to the heat and moisture a grill sees over a season, though the black-finished cart parts stay more exposed to scratches than the steel itself. A 641 sq in cooking area is large enough for a full spread without cooking in batches.
