Of all the smart appliances we have reviewed on this channel and webinars,
the Weber Smart SX-335 is the best, most functional and easiest to use.
In this video, you'll learn about the Weber Smart system,
as well as all the improvements in this year's Genesis grill.
You'll also learn about some issues as well,
and in the end, you'll know whether the SX-335 is right for you.
Although Weber's smart functionality is the best, it's also pretty simple.
Weber uses Bluetooth temperature probes inserted into the food.
It provides real time monitoring of your
food, along with exact temperature of the grill displayed on the exterior.
You'll receive real time alerts on your phone whether to flip your burger or take
it off your grill completely so you don't have to be tethered to your grill.
However, unlike smart appliances,
you cannot turn on, off or operate the grill remotely from your phone.
A few years ago, Weber introduced their
new GS4 ignition and grease management system and became one of the most reliable
brands sold at Yale, which is important given with wind weather.
The burner specifications of the Genesis have also remained the same at 13,000 BTU,
for a total of 39,000 BTU's over three burners.
The side burner if you like to broil corn or lobsters while grilling is the same
at 12,000 BTU. They did increase the sear zone in the middle from 9,000-13,000.
It's more powerful, but it's still just another row
of burners, not an infrared like the better yet more expensive grill types.
The square footage has increased to 787
square inches, but some of that is from a larger, fold down, top rack.
The SX series at $1,499 differs from the less expensive E series
with lights on the hood, so now you can see while you're grilling and better
9-millimeter stainless grates.
Stainless grates will wear better but also
retain heat at a better sear than cast or porcelain.
Weber also added better side tables to fit larger plates in a tank monitor,
so now you don't have to guess how much gas is left in the tank.
You also have additional storage under the grill.
However, Weber's biggest improvement is their OGS system,
allowing to fully accessorize your grill and cook differently.
The OGS system is a frame kit fitting
new accessories. You could cook anything on a griddle, but now you can cook breakfast
foods like eggs, bacon and pancakes, as well as grilled cheese.
Ever tried to grill vegetables?
You can't do it effectively because bits
of vegetables always seem to slide off the grill into the fire below.
The new basket allows you to cook veggies easily.
The baking stone is designed to cook crust, specifically pizza.
You can now sear your steak on one side
and more delicate items like fruits and vegetables on the other side.
You can make kebabs or crisp french fries
with these two accessories designed for your rotisserie.
The sear station is
larger. It's regular gas, which diffuses heat rather than more
directed infrared heat which is better for searing.
The grilling space is larger but most
of it is at the top with a new flip down rack.
It's important to note that there is no
additional heat source in the back like the more expensive Summit series.
It doesn't have the infrared sear, but you will have to pay much more
for those features in a Summit or Pro grill type. Side burner
at 12,000 BTU is just okay. Again,
you can upgrade, but a Pro grill with higher output is over $6,000.
Smart grill technology is more functional because it helps you cook better.
You'll never have to wonder whether
to turn over the burger or whether you should remove it entirely.
Their new accessories will help you prepare food differently as well.
There are more powerful grills to buy in the market however, at $1,499,
the SX-335 is probably the best value for the price.
