- In this video we take an in-depth look at the all new Weber Genesis SP-E-335 Gas Grill. Weber redesigned the Genesis line for 2022 and these grills are loaded with awesome new features.
The Genesis SP-E-335 Gas Grill is a special edition model that can't be found at just any retailer. It's an exclusive model available to specialty retailers like Just Grillin Outdoor Living. This grill comes with 9mm thick stainless steel grates and a lid-handle light for illuminated cooking at night. We look at all this and more in this overview video.
See why we feel the Weber Genesis SP-E-335 Gas Grill is a nice grill. We perform performance tests including testing the burners heat output as well as throwing common food to see how the grill handles it. This is a very in-depth look at the totally redesigned Weber Genesis Sp-E-335 Gas Grill.

Just had my new SP-E 335 delivered. Wasn't sure how the searing worked and correct position of the searing grate. Looked on line and found my way here. The most thorough review you will find. Even Weber doesn't provide a useful video as this. Kudos and thanks!!
Thank you! Enjoy the grill.

Sam does a very thorough review. It was the most helpful one online by a landslide and he defintely knows his stuff!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. If you don't mind me asking, what other videos did you find helpful on the subject? I enjoy watching other channels videos too.
- Sam
Great review and I learned a lot from watching your videos and just purchased this model!
Keep up the great work really appreciate all your hard work!
Thank you. I appreciate that. I know you’ll enjoy cooking with this grill. I just got the Crafted Roasting Basket in and have been mixing that into the weeknight fold. Hoping the Flat Top shows up soon. Will have some videos on these accessories soon.
- Sam
Amazing review! was curious about the new model and you really covered that well!!!
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
- Sam
Looked everywhere on TH-cam for a review like this and glad I came across yours! Keep it up
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.
- Sam
Great review video. I pickup my new EX335 this weekend. Can't wait to try it
Thank you! Nice. I’m really excited for the Crafted system on these grills. Can’t wait for our flat top to arrive.
- Sam
Thank you so much really helped me out just bought mine
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. Get the Flat Top Griddle too. Doing a video on it soon but really like using that accessory so far.
- Sam
10:20pm Great job Sam! Just found your channel and I will definitely subscribe. You are easy to understand and get to the point and don’t repeat yourself like some channels do.
Thank you. My dad doesn’t grill so the content of the videos for the channel isn’t necessarily useful for him but he says the same thing. He likes my straight to the point approach and watches every video just to see how I format it.
Hope the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and appreciate the kind words.
- Sam
Excellent report

Looking forward to reviewing this In Australia when it arrive . This grill look awesome
Really enjoying cooking with it so far. Been happy with the performance. Still waiting on our Crafted accessories. Can't wait for that flat top to come in.
- Sam
Really thorough review! Great bbq, was looking to buy one this spring, until I found Napoleon. Ended up buying the prestige phantom, couldn’t be happier. After some research I found broil king has been left behind, Webber and Napoleon have taken over.
Great vid!, bought this grill for my dad for fathers day and couldn't have asked for a more in depth review :) Hope itll be a big hit
I would hope he’d be pumped for a new grill. What a great Father’s Day gift!
- Sam
Great overview. Just bought it today and I'm glad I chose this model. The illustrations and tests were also very insightful. Thanks for a great video.
You're welcome. Thanks for the solid feedback. I've been very happy with it so far. Getting ready to do a video on the Crafted Flat Top Griddle. Have been using it for a few weeks now and really loving that accessory. If you're looking at that accessory, I recommend that one too. Hopefully with have the video out in next few weeks.
- Sam
Great vid!
Thank you. Glad you found it worth the time to watch.
- Sam
Great review mate!
Thank you!
- Sam
Just got it can’t wait to fire it up. Great video
Good stuff. Thank you. Enjoy!
- Sam
Great review! Was thinking between this grill and a Napolean Rogue Prestige. I think the Weber is best for me.
Nice. Just got one.
Awesome. Enjoy it. It’s a good grill. Thanks for watching.
- Sam
Good job
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Hope this was helpful.
- Sam
I’m going to be getting this grill shortly, could you do a How To video on the assembly of this model? There’s very few videos on TH-cam showing how to assemble these Weber grills
Thank you. I appreciate you asking. I do try and accommodate requests but I don’t see myself having the opportunity to knock a video like that out anytime soon where it would help you in the time frame you need it to.
The directions should encourage you to download the BILT app. The app uses really good illustrations and audio to walk you through each step of assembly. I’d definitely check that out. The only thing our assembly guy on staff said took a second to figure out was the batteries for the handle light. They just have to be positioned a certain way to slide in and out easily. Everything else he said was pretty straight forward.
- Sam
I have just bought this Barbie in Australia, built tough, cooks great, tried to buy the rotisserie for it, as yet not available in Australia as it needs one that fixes to the right side of the Barbie, only left side ones currently available. Come on Weber ship 'em over here, it's summer here. Cheers
Hey Darryl. Curious why you decided on this one please? I'm in the market but torn between the standard, one with connect, and this one with the side burner. Cheers
@@haveagreatday1681 I bought this model as it seemed the best choice at the time, had it about 16 months now, love it, but it's not perfect, would prefer the gas bottle fitted outside, as they are heavy when full, making it tricky for me. Still no sign of a rotisserie that fits on the righ side and apparently not in the forseeable future either, so bought a generic one that fits perfectly, works great and about one third of the price of Weber left sided version. Why they changed sides is beyond me, as having the side burner on the right would have been fine. My wife uses the side burner mainly for stir fries, no complaints from me there. I actually have 3 Webers a baby Q, a Q and the Genesis. the baby is awesome if you just want to cook a few sausges or steak for the two of us, as it's so economical to use, the Q i tend to do roast vegies on and the Genesis when the mob turn up for a free lunch. Cheers and good luck.
Norway here 😊 Tnx for great videos 🎉 I cant decide if this one or a 435 Any thoughts?
Well the main thing is do you need the cooking space of a 4-burner? If not, I like the Special Edition 3-burner for the thick grates and handle light.
I’m not familiar with the European lineup and what exact models offered. My opinion is just based on the US lineup.
Appreciate the view and thank you for the kind words.
- Sam
Awesome video! Is the SP-E 335 easy to assemble by not the handiest person around? When/Where can I purchase the SP-E 335? Thanks for your time and great infomation!
Thank you for the kind words. Weber registers all their products with the BILT app so you can have audio and video diagram step-by-step directions when assembling. It'll take you an hour to hour and a half to put it together. You should be able to manage just fine regardless of handiness.
You can go to Weber's website and search their dealer locator for stores near you. You're looking for Full Service Specialty Stores. If you're in the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Sarasota area, then we're your source. But I know not everyone watching is in our area. Thanks again.
- Sam
So random you comment this and then a few days later (aka yesterday) I had to fill in and assemble this exact grill. It took me 2.5 hours to get it knocked out (opening box, laying out parts, assembly and clean up).
I used the printed directions. Was somewhat easy to follow but could see a few areas where someone would goof something possibly. Mainly with the wiring, the side burner attachment and the floor of the cart. Other than that it was straight forward. Just takes time.
- Sam
Is the volume inside this grill the same as other 335s? The specs speak to a higher height, you spoke to it in the video, but I didn't know if you were referencing 335s in general or the sp-e. Any grill cover recs?
All 2022 and new Genesis 3-burner gas grills will have the same amount of cook space inside. No difference in size other than moving up to a 4-burner. I always like the same brand grill cover.
- Sam
We just bought the Weber Genesis SX-325 S LP and we are waiting for it to be delivered. We didn't notice the "LP" on the model number until a day or so after we ordered it. Does the LP mean that the grill will hook to a grill nozzle hooked to our house gas supply or can we buy a bottle of LP cas like we usually do for grills (Or does it mean both?)
LP stands for Liquid Propane. It sounds like you should be good based off your last remark of purchasing gas tanks. That's what the majority of people do with these grills. Purchase a 20 lbs LP tank and exchange it for another full tank when it runs out.
If you have a buried liquid propane tank or larger tank on the side of your house with a gas line, you could certainly connect to that too. That is if it's for sure LP gas.
However, natural gas is not interchangeable and wouldn't work with an LP grill. We talk with a lot of homeowners that aren't sure what type of gas their home has other than it has a gas line of some sort. It's a common question we get but good question. Hope that helps!
- Sam
Great video. I don’t think I would use the side burner or the new kit. As such how do you like the SPE 325? Live in Tampa. Is that in stock? Thoughts on this model? Thx
The SP-E-325 is in stock in blue. Waiting on the Black color to come back in stock. It’s on display so definitely worth coming to see in person.
The 325 is great if you don’t care for the side burner or Crafted System. The only other item you don’t get is the extra side storage cabinet under the left shelf. The performance will be the same otherwise. And you still get the 9mm stainless grates and integrated handle light which is great.
- Sam
Sam..one final question. Can I use the dual sided grates Weber sells with the 325 model?
@@chrisrizzo627 I assume you’re referencing the Crafted Sear Grate. Yes, you can but you will need the Crafted Frame Kit. You can purchase that additionally but the frame kit doesn’t come with the SP-E-325 grill. We stock the frame kit.
- Sam
I'm still deciding on this or the napoleon prestige 500. I like the pull out grease try and lights on the webber, but the napoleon has a dedicate sear zone and rotisserie.. I honestly would give up any options if one really did cook better then the other..
We're approached multiple times a year to offer Napoleon and we choose not to. We are not fans of the flame thrower ignition system. Weber support is solid and we generally have low warranty claims/issues with their grills. They create a pretty consistent gas grill year after year.
Napoleon has done some great things to make their grills look really attractive to consumers. We just like the durability and stability we've had from Weber over the years.
I cook with this grill at least twice a week since they released it. I've never really thought to myself "man I wish it did this or had that."
I know these comments don't necessarily distinguish between the features you pointed out. But just sharing some of our thoughts overall.
- Sam
I just got this grill and the value for it really is great compared to the Napoleon!
Do you think there’d be any way to “make” a sear station out of the side burner? Some kind of add on?
A work around could be using a cast iron skillet on top of the side burner using the highest heat to sear off inside the pan.
No add-ons that I'm aware of that would accomplish this.
Could you rig something? I'm sure it's possible. Would it be safe, worth the hassle and something I'd recommend? No. Not to mention you'd void the warranty of the grill which is one of the great selling points of a Weber.
I think the grill has pretty adequate heating capabilities to get a decent sear in the main cooking area. Everyone's cooking habits are different so I get why that's an attractive feature to have.
I wish I could post pictures in comments. I just cooked a peppercorn sirloin steak dinner with green beans in under 20 minutes using the side burner only over the weekend.
Appreciate the question.
- Sam
Would you go for a special edition like this or the smart grill with same options but cast iron grates. Thanks.
Really depends. I like the Genesis SX-335 option. It’s a stainless hood/doors with the 7mm stainless steel grates.
I like the integrated light handle on the special editions a lot too which you don’t get with all of the Smart Grills. The big question to answer is how much you care for the Weber Connect tech on board the grill?
Did you watch our video that breaks down all the different models?
- Sam
Really appreciate the reply Sam. Thank You. Yes. Watched the videos and they are the best out there. Wish I was local and could come into the shop. Thanks again.
I really want this model because of the handle light but I keep getting told to get cast iron grates(better heat retention, flavor, etc.)
How do you like the performance of the 9mm stainless grates?
I’m tempted to buy this model and a set of cast iron grates since everyone says I should. What’s your thoughts? Thanks
I’ve never really heard someone say grates add flavor to the food. The 9mm grates are really heavy duty. They clean up nicely. With the proper care, you’ll have this grill 10+ years. The stainless grates are built to last longer than the cast iron grates. The clients we see replacing their grates almost always exclusively have the cast iron grates.
Get this model and buy the Crafted dual-sided sear grate if you really want to have a cast iron grate to use. That grate is much better quality than the PECI regular cooking grates.
- Sam
@@justgrillin Thanks Sam! That’s what I needed to know. Much appreciated
Hi, are there any changes in the 2023 lineup? It seems like the SP-E-335 isn't available anymore.
The only change for 2023 was they added an E-325 model that comes with the Crafted Frame Kit and Sear Grate.
The SP-E-335 is very much still available. Weber does not list the special editions for sale on their website. Big box stores do not have access to those models either.
It’s a US based model. Not sure if you’re US based or not? I know we have viewers in the UK and Australia.
But check with a local independent authorized Weber store. We just got our Summer re-stock on this model in last week.
- Sam
Does any of the Genesis models come with the actual griddle ?
No. There was one model that used to but not for 2024. We just published the 2024 guide: th-cam.com/video/xenu0a_XM4E/w-d-xo.html
We just bought the same grill weber 335 but doesn't come with the lights on the handle!?
You probably bought the non-special edition with the cast iron cooking grates. Most likely the E-335. Not the SP-E-335 like in the video.
- Sam
Is this model available in the UK? I've searched the Internet and can't find it.
DB
I’m not 100% sure on the UK lineup offerings since I only get to see the US lineup. Weber goes through phases where they do list these grills on their website and then phases where they don’t list the special editions on their website. Not sure if you have a specialty retailer in your area but check with them if so.
- Sam
Does this model come with a smoker box?
No. Only one model in the line comes with an integrated smoker box. I would not recommend buying a model specifically for that. Just buy a separate accessory smoker box or a pellet smoke tube.
- Sam
What about the smoke box ?
What about it? There isn’t one included in this model.
- Sam
Does it come in ss finish??
This particular model does not. The Genesis S-335 is the closest comparable model but you downgrade to 7mm stainless grates and there is no integrated handle light.
- Sam
Do you think this model will still be available in June of 2023? Thx!
Some variation of it. Can’t say for certain exact features but the design aesthetic will probably stay pretty similar. Weber always has a special edition model with the main features like this in their yearly lineup.
- Sam
@@justgrillin Thanks. It just amazes me why Weber doesn't include more colors in their grille line-up every year. There are folks like me that would never buy a black or stainless steel grille.
@@jaysantos536 Weber has actually reduced their color options in recent years. They don’t sell that well. They used to have a ‘Smoke’ color that was the enamel finish but a nice looking gray. Our clients liked it but I guess nationally it wasn’t a hit.
- Sam
Does this model also have illuminated control knobs?
It does not. The only models that have the lighted control knobs are the EPX-335 and the SPX-435. Both are premium smart grills.
- Sam
@@justgrillin thank you! Great content. I appreciate your explanation between the models. Does the EPX -335 and or Spx-435 have a integrated led overhead lighting system in the handle and 9mm grates as well ? I feel I can’t get everything I want in a model that is offered.
@@palmettolowlife1996 no. Unfortunately Weber is really making you choose between features more than they usually do in their lineups from previous years. If you want the 9 MM grates, it’s just the two special edition models that come with them: SP-E-325s or the SP-E-335.
Are you wanting the Weber Connect tech with the grill? If you don’t care one way or other, the model in this video makes most sense. It’s my recommendation in the entire lineup based on features and price point. Save the extra money that you’d use on a lighted knob model and get a Crafted accessory. That flat top looks sweet. I can’t wait until it comes in.
- Sam
@@justgrillin I completely agree with you. I just couldn’t find the information when researching on their site. I will purchase this model from ace hardware online. Thanks again buddy
@@justgrillin - Hi Sam. Do you know if the 9mm grates would fit the EPX-335 if they were purchased as replacement parts or is the grill box not able to accommodate the larger size?
I bought this but mine didn’t come with the light :(
You probably purchased the E-335 which is the regular model. It’s the same grill minus the lights and stainless steel cooking grates.
- Sam
It looks like the double fire cabinets aren’t both leveled
Yes. That can happen if the surface the grill is on isn’t level. Typically most decks aren’t and have slight grades for water to run off. High end luxury grills typically add adjustable hinges to correct this. The hinges on this grill aren’t adjustable.
- Sam
Actualy you have the hooks installed incorrectly (where you hold the 2” x 16” grate). It is actaully for you to hold the larger grate from inside when you use the Weber Crafted Kitchen Stuff. The hooks should be on the OUTSIDE of grill.
They are installed correctly. You appear to have it backwards. Just went to Weber's site and pulled the assembly guide. Step #39 shows this piece inserted. If you look closely at the square divider piece between the hooks it goes on the inside of the cabinet and that's how it is on the grill in this video.
Does it truly matter? I'm not sure and haven't tested it out. Everything appears correct by what I've seen from the assembly guide and reviewing further illustrations in the owners guide too.
- Sam
@Jeff Dickerson It's just poor illustrations. Looking at page #17 closely, the hooks on the outside are thicker than the illustration of the hooks on the inside which is consistent with the physical piece. It's a double-sided piece so that's just what the outside hook looks like in actuality (or at the least the ones that came with our grill). You might not consider it a hook but I think they're just using the term for simplistic reasons.
- Sam
@Jeff Dickerson It does not. If you look closely in the video, you can pause it and see that it slightly has a tilted angle towards the back. I don't think it hurts anything cooking wise though? Not sure if yours is much more noticeable than on our grill? Haven't given it much of a thought until now.
My assumption is that it's probably a mechanical thing to help support the weight of food. I put the 10 lbs of frozen ribs on the front piece to see if it dropped down. If you think about it, they probably have to factor in some give and if the grate starts out flat and then gives, food could be falling forward/off. It's pretty far out there (which I like from a gained space perspective) but the further your get from the main support you have to engineer it in a way to support more weight that far out and perform as advertised. That's just my assumption thinking about it. I don't think it's a manufacturer defect if that's what you're asking.
- Sam
@Jeff Dickerson Have to look somewhat closely but nothing major from what I've seen.
Sorry to hear that. Not sure about your particular case other than what you've now told me. Concealed damage happens from time to time. You'd be surprised sometimes that the damage just comes from something stacked on top that's too heavy or the item just rolls over during its transit. And you'd never know by looking at the packaging. I know these grills are boxed pretty much wall-to-wall.
I'm a big supporter of buying local and let the local shops like us handle the initial receiving. A local shop usually is getting a dedicated truck coming in so it's less hands touching the appliances versus LTL items that touch a lot of hands increasing the damage risk. Items arriving damaged is up across the board with most vendors. A lot of people are not used to receiving freight which makes it tricky when something comes in and the right to inspect it before accepting it.
Weber's customer support is always consistent which I like. They are typically responsive and are good at taking care of their customers. Sounds like they got you squared away pretty good.
- Sam
Bread test is interesting, but 2 of your slices were overlapping! LAME.
This is a great outdoor stove. No gas stove is a BBQ of course; but this is nice.
I'll do better on the next bread test. Glad you like the grill. I've enjoyed using it all year so far. Thanks for watching and writing in.
- Sam
WEBER HAS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Hopefully you don’t ever need to actually call them. I seem to always have the same issue with these Weber NG grills. Never gets hot enough, for which they are not capable of troubleshooting via their support staff.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU’RE A STEAKER
What’s the hottest your grill gets? Sometimes it can be your line/regulator needs an adjustment for the right airflow so the right amount of gas goes to the grill. We’ve also found that sometimes these lines share too many appliances which constricts/limits gas to each appliance.
Not saying that’s your case but just something we typically encounter if there is an issue.
Weber’s customer support is much better than most manufacturers. You feel otherwise but they do pick up the phone and try to help. Most manufacturers nowadays make you go through retailers which slows down help.
You shouldn’t have trouble getting to the temps shown in the video. Sometimes you might need to give the grill a longer heat up time. Also, you can adjust when you put the steak on to get a better sear. For example, if you reverse sear and normally pull the steak internally at 115-120 for medium rare, maybe pull it at 105-110 and leave it on longer til it gets to the internal temp you like to pull the steak off at. Just another thought. Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing.
- Sam
Can you use the crafted system in a summit
Kind of but not as its intended. You can’t use the frame kit so you’d have to sit the accessories on your cooking grates for support.
