Weber Genesis E-335 Liquid Propane Gas Grill, 3 Burners + Side Burner, Black Review (2026)

Who this grill fits

This is a full-featured three-burner gas grill for households that grill regularly and want to cook an entire meal outside, including sides that would normally need a stovetop. According to Weber, the E-335 pairs three main burners with a dedicated side burner, useful for sauteing vegetables, heating sauces, or boiling corn while the main grates handle proteins. It suits a family or regular entertaining setup rather than an occasional griller, since the grill's roughly 62 inch width with both side shelves up and 210 pound weight call for a permanent spot on a patio or deck rather than a grill that gets moved around often. Someone in a small apartment with limited outdoor space, or a once-a-month griller, would likely find this grill larger and pricier than necessary.

Burners, cooking area and build

Weber lists 513 square inches of cooking space across the three main burners, plus the separate side burner for additional cooking capacity beyond the main grates. The grill uses Weber's PureBlu burner system, described by the manufacturer as tapered burner tubes built to deliver consistent pressure and more even heat across the cooking surface. Porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are standard on this model, with the bars designed to catch and vaporize drippings for added flavor while funneling grease away from the burners to reduce flare-ups. The grill also includes an extra-large sear zone for higher-heat searing. This E-335 model uses a black porcelain-enamel finish, positioned as a more affordable alternative to the stainless steel S-335 with a similar burner and grate setup.

Living with a full-size gas grill

Because the grill runs on liquid propane, a propane tank is typically purchased separately and needs periodic refilling or exchange, unlike a natural gas line hookup. Day to day, the side burner adds real convenience for cooks who want to finish a sauce or warm a side dish without going back inside, keeping the whole meal prep outdoors during a cookout. The porcelain-enameled grates and Flavorizer Bars are designed to be relatively low maintenance, wiped down or brushed off after cooking, with the bars needing occasional cleaning as they catch drippings over repeated use. Given the size and weight, this grill is best treated as a semi-permanent fixture on a patio, and Weber backs the cookbox and lid against rust-through and burn-through for an extended period, reflecting the grill's build quality.

Trade-offs and how it compares

The larger footprint, with the side burner and its own shelf, is the clearest trade-off, since it demands more deck or patio space than a simpler two-burner grill and cannot easily be tucked into a small balcony. Propane-only operation also means ongoing tank management rather than the constant supply a natural gas hookup offers. Against rivals in the gas grill guide, Weber's own S-335 in stainless steel offers the same burner layout with a more premium finish for buyers willing to pay more, while the E-325 drops the side burner for a smaller footprint at a similar price point. The Weber Spirit E-325 with boost burners is a step down in size for buyers who do not need full Genesis-level cooking area.

Bottom line

This grill earns our score of 8.8/10 as a well-built, full-size gas grill that gives a family everything needed to cook a complete outdoor meal, side burner included. The 513 square inch main cooking area, PureBlu burners and Flavorizer Bar system reflect Weber's established Genesis engineering, and the black finish keeps cost down versus the stainless S-335 without sacrificing core cooking performance. Buyers with limited patio space, or who do not need a side burner, should consider the smaller E-325 or E-315 instead. For regular grillers with room for a large grill, the E-335 is a dependable, well-equipped choice.
