Hey guys today we're comparing 2 grills from the Weber Genesis collection.
the E-310 and the SE-35.
The E-310 is one of the more popular Genesis models that you find in stores all across
the country.
the Genesis SE-335 is only available through select Weber dealers.
It comes with some key advantages over the E-310 which has made the SE-335 our most popular
Genesis grill.
1st up, there a few things you want to consider when it comes to cooking versatility. at 1st
glance these grills are very similar.
both have Weber's GS 4 grilling system system design centered around stainless steel burners
and tent shaped flavor riser bars.
Both grills have 3 main burners that produce a total of 39000 BTUs of grilling power.
You'll find the SE-335 has an additional sear station burner between 2 of their main burners,
giving you an additional 9000 BTUs of searing power.
without the sear station the E-310 pre-heated from 0 to 600 and about 16 and a 1/2 minutes.
where the SE-335 got to 600 in about 11 and a 1/2 hours.
I let them both keep climbing to their personal best high heat point.
then with an infrared thermometer point midway between the 2 right Burners.
the E-310 registered in the 640 range whereas the SE-335 reaches 740 range.
to give you a visual of what this looks like when it comes to searing a steak, I cooked
a New York strip on both grills for 2 minutes on each side.
I did notice that the sear marks on the E-310 were less pronounced than the ones on the
SE-335.
Guys if you think you're going to be searing often, having that extra burner is something
to consider it's nice to be able to save time on the pre heat, and you know you have a little
bit more power.
next thing you may want to think about is that both grills have to side tables for prep
space but the SE-335 as the added versatility of a concealed side burner.
Hey, heat up some chili on the side while grilling up some hot dogs for a party.
it can come in handy not having to run into the kitchen just plate everything up, and
serve it in your backyard.
next up you want to consider the build quality of the cooking grids the E-310 uses porcelain
enameled cast iron here where the SE-335 has a 9 mm thick stainless steel rod cooking grids.
The same as what you may have seen on Weber's top of the line summit models.
normal wear and tear who porcelain coated cast iron grids can cause the coating to chip
making the cast iron portion of the grid prone to rust.
The thick stainless grids on the SE-335 or ideal for longevity.
now let's talk cart design the E-310 has an open cart style where the SE-335 has an enclosed
cart.
You might want to consider having an enclosed card to conceal the drip pan and protect whatever
you store in that cart from the elements.
It's nice not having to worry about things like paper towels, wood chips, and spices
getting wet. one last extra you'll get with the SE-335 is the included handle mounted
grill light.
this is another feature that's borrowed from weber's top of the line summit collection.
Its motion activated making it simple to use when you need visibility for night time grilling.
Alright so for a quick recap, the SE-335 comes with some extra key features You might want
to consider.
if you choose that I SE-335, you'll enjoy the sear station, the side burner, durable
stainless cooking grids, enclosed cart, and handle light.
