The name that invented the modern grill — since 1952

The Story
Weber has been the shape of the American backyard since 1952, when George Stephen took a marine buoy in Palatine, Illinois, cut it in half, and built the first kettle grill. Seven decades later, the Weber kettle is still recognizable at a hundred yards — and the company has expanded well beyond charcoal to cover gas, electric, portable, and smart-connected grills.
Our Weber lineup spans four families: the Genesis series is Weber's premium gas grill line, redesigned in 2022 with a fully cast-aluminum firebox and PurePlus regulator. The Master-Touch is the enthusiast charcoal kettle, with the same 22-inch cook chamber George Stephen prototyped in 1952 plus modern touches like the Gourmet BBQ System hinged grate. Lumin is Weber's electric grill — 120V, apartment-safe, no fuel to buy or store. Traveler is the fold-flat portable that fits in a car trunk or under a bench.
Weber's advantage is standardization. Parts are stocked at hardware stores nationwide, YouTube has a tutorial for every task, and the Weber Connect app pairs with the Genesis SX-335 for step-by-step recipe coaching and dual-probe temperature tracking. That combination — a grill you can cook on for 20 years, plus the biggest support network in the category — is why the Genesis and Master-Touch have out-sold everything in their price tiers for two decades.

Design Principles
01
The 2022+ Genesis series has a cast-aluminum firebox that resists rust in coastal climates and holds heat far better than the stamped-steel bottoms competitors use at the same price.
02
Weber's PurePlus regulator delivers consistent flame across all burners — the classic Weber problem of "back burners run hotter than front" was engineered out of the current generation.
03
Weber grates, burners, flavorizer bars, and ignitors are stocked at every hardware store in the US. No back-order roulette, no waiting on a distributor.
04
Current Genesis and Spirit grills carry a 10-year full warranty covering every part — cook box, burners, grates, lid, everything. Simplest warranty terms in the category.
Questions
All three are 4-burner Genesis freestanding gas grills. The E-435 is the entry model — enameled steel construction, main burners plus a searing burner and side burner. The S-435 upgrades to full stainless steel construction. The SX-335 is the smart-connected model with Weber Connect integrated — dual meat probes, app-guided cook coaching, and burnout alerts.
Weber is headquartered in Palatine, Illinois, where George Stephen founded the company in 1952. Current Genesis grills are assembled at Weber facilities in Illinois and Alabama, with some components sourced globally. Weber ownership changed to BDT Capital in 2010, but manufacturing has stayed in the US.
Yes — the Lumin is 120V (standard household outlet), UL-listed for indoor and outdoor use, and produces almost no smoke because the drippings vaporize on the heat plate instead of pooling. Most condo and apartment associations that ban gas or charcoal explicitly allow electric grills like the Lumin. It won't sear like a live-flame grill but it can reach 600°F, which is hotter than most competitors' electric.

The Master-Touch keeps the classic Weber kettle shape but adds four upgrades: a hinged Gourmet BBQ System cook grate that accepts Weber pizza stones and wok inserts, a Tuck-Away lid that hooks onto the side instead of taking up ground space, a One-Touch cleaning system for ash removal, and a stainless heat shield around the ash catcher. The construction quality — 22-gauge porcelain-enameled steel — is a full step above the department-store kettles that share the shape.
Rotisseries are sold separately for most Weber gas grills — Weber makes a dedicated rotisserie kit for each Genesis and Spirit series that includes the motor, spit rod, and lid clearance bracket. The Weber Summit series (available on request) is the only Weber line that includes a built-in rotisserie burner. On charcoal kettles, the Weber rotisserie ring adds ~5 inches of clearance to accommodate the spit and can be added to any 22-inch kettle.
Beginners: the Spirit II or the Master-Touch. Both have simple, forgiving heat control and a huge library of Weber's own recipes and how-tos. Intermediate to advanced: the Genesis E-435 or S-435 — the 4-burner setup and searing station let you run two-zone cooking (reverse sear, low-and-slow smoke) without buying extra gear. Tech-first grillers: the SX-335, where the Weber Connect app coaches you through the cook.
Weber sells matched natural gas and propane variants of every gas grill — the fuel is baked into the model number and the internal orifices/regulators are factory-matched. Weber does not sell field-conversion kits, and factory conversion voids the warranty. Order the fuel type you actually have (natural gas needs a plumbed line; propane runs on tank).
