- If you're in the market for a new high-end gas grill, like the Weber Genesis II 400 series, you don't want to miss my review of the E-435.
I go over all the major grill features, build quality, how hot it gets on a 10 minute pre-heat, and more.

Just bought this grill, going to use it for the first time tonight. Thanks for the review!
I hope you enjoy it
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
Bought the Weber S-435 with the side burner, built it myself too! Great review!👌🇺🇲💥
Awesome, thanks!
Just picked my e435 up last week.
Cant wait to assemble and try it out !!!
Coming from a much older summit 625 ,,, loved the size so went with the 435 (similar I believe)
Worried about assembling the unit on my own,, but anxious as hell to get it going !!
Good luck. I know you'll be happy with it!
Solid video. Thanks!
Best grill ever! So glad for the investment which should last years.
Agreed!
hey... can u add a video of replacing igniter kit... mine seems to not be working and would be cool to see this
Nice video why do you prefer cast iron grates vs stainless steel?
Hey Jared,
I'm on the fence of buying a three burner one or the four burner one. I cook twice a year for a large crowd. But the rest of the year is for smaller groups. what do you recommend of going
I cannot get side burner to light. I was hoping you would have shown side burner lighting. Overall great.
Just two things from me - what are the specifics of the gas I need to buy for it and secondly does the adapter for gas bottle etc come with the bbq and lastly can you do a video of it actually cooking away something. Thanks
The grill comes with a propane gas valve and fitting for a standard 20lb tank. Yes, I'll make a video of it cooking something at some point.
Can’t wait to pick up my Weber genesis 2. Great review! I like how no wind can get into it. Hate grilling in windy days with my current char broil grill. Can’t wait for my upgrade to Weber! Also was that a robot lawnmower in the background at 11:58 haha
You won't be disappointed! And yes, that was my Husqvarna Automower!
@@JaredDesrosiers haha badass!
Great video!
Do you happen to know what year was this particular grill model released?
Thanks!
Thank you. I believe the Genesis II product line was released in 2017.
I have the same one and i love it!! do you cover yours? also whats that things roaming around in the back ground on your grass?? LOL
Yes, it is great and I do keep it covered. That is my Husqvarna Automower roaming the yard, keeping my grass at the perfect height!
When/how are you searing your steaks? On my current grill (an old weber) I am using a recently popular technique where you cook for longer periods at lower temperature, then increase the heat and sear it. The problem is you have to remove the steaks/burgers while you get it up to sear temps, then put them back on to sear. I thought I heard you say something about turning on the searing burner when you turn on the others....Haven't figured out yet how to use the sear burner. I am planning to get the E435 model you showed here.
I preheat the searing burner with the other burners. I sear the steaks first a couple of minutes per side, then once all seared, lower the temp, turn off the searing burner, and finish cooking.
That's because there's no "Sear Burner" Millard. This is very misleading on Weber's end. The "sear burner or what they call "sear station" is on the right side of this grill and is the only section that has burners underneath. The left side doesn't have burners and uses residual/infrared heat. It'd be like having your grill and only having 1 side working. Only thing that allows this to work is how powerful the BTU's are.
Real sear burners are elevated above all other burners and are its own unit. Can be a inside the grill or take place of the table.
This grill has 4 regular burners - 2 on each side. The sear burner is an extra burner on the right side. It's located in between the 2 standard burners.
You might be thinking if a different grill because this Genesis grill does have burners on the left side...
The lid is not powder coated. It is enamel coated. Enamel is where they get the "E" for the model number for your BBQ. For instance, Weber Genesis II E-435 versus the "S" which stands for stainless.
Enamel coating is a form of powder coating technically. It is a powdered glass fused to the surface being coated. However, thanks for the clarification because specifically it's enamel and I should have clarified that.
@@JaredDesrosiers Yes sir, you are absolutely right. Enamel can be sprayed on using a powder coating process. I just wanted you to realize that the enamel was in fact a glass coating that is superior in this application to any other paints, but it would seem as though you know already. Nice Grill BTW. I just bought the S-335 that is presently out of commission due to a warranty issue. The pressure regulator on mine is faulty, and it would seem as though Weber had a bad batch of hoses based on the reviews on their website. Luckily, I was able to remove the hose from my camping stove to use temporarily while Weber sorts out the problem. It would seem as though they are out of stock on replacement hoses due to the problem I mentioned. Happy grilling!
Unfortunately a common problem in today's economy - backordered goods. I hope you get it squared away in the near future. Happy grilling to you as well!
The background music really added something to this video. Not a good something
Got one of these on order. Your bbq looked pretty clean. What cleaning regime do you follow?
I simply use a metal grill brush on the grates and wipe down the outside with a damp paper towel whenever needed.
It looks filthy!
Any problems with the side burner being too hot . I have the s-435 model and on the lowest setting its too hot to simmer anything
I don't use the side burner too often. But I agree that it has a high BTU output. In my experience, I've used it to deep fry chicken and sear things like scallops without problems. I can imagine having issues cooking foods on low heat on it though.
@@JaredDesrosiers i called them and are sending me a new valve/cup assembly we’ll see if that fixes it .
Oh nice! Good luck
How many BTUs is the side burner?
12,000 but per hour
Hey mate, have you spit roasted pork or beef in this beast ?
I have not, but would love to hear if anybody else has!
Great grill and good review. But a few clarifications.
The fire box (what you call the burn chamber) is not cast iron. It is cast aluminum -- which Weber has been using for fire boxes for decades. Aluminum is good for that use -- aluminum will not rust. A cast iron firebox would rust.
The black lid and black doors are enameled steel. Enamel is what the E in E-435 stands for. So close to indestructable glass-like porcelain. So somewhat mis-leading to call it powder coated steel. The other versions of this grill is the S-435 - with S standing for stainless steel rather than E-enamel.
The enamel version of this grill comes with coated cast iron cooking grates (which I like to cook on). The S version comes with SS grates.
Thank you for your clarifications James.
It never get hot enough
Rock N 💯💯
Your mower bro!!!!
😁
Great follow-up review! I just bought the same model, still needs to be assembled so I will check your other video. I think the black porcelain enameled lid is the way to go. My last Weber was a stainless steel Summit and that lid looked very discolored after a few years and it was always hard to keep clean. Also, I compared the new 2022 Genesis with the one you have (and the one I now have) and although it has a few new bells and whistles, it felt flimsier than the older gen.
Agreed, thanks Simon!
Very interesting comment I was about to go for the SS didn't think about the cleaning aspect of it
OK, just for shits and giggles, I was looking for more of a how well it worked cooking on it, what you've cooked and how evenly it cooked, not so much an overview of the features...again. Features I can look up, how well the grill works, like when you got into year around grilling, was more beneficial for me.
Looks like it needs to be cleaned
Wrong way to start right out of the gate - you never light with lid down and you start with the far left burner and move right
