The E-310 has a grease management system for easier cleanup.The cook box, grill plates, and lid are all porcelain-enameled.The total cooking area of 529 square inches and 32,000 BTUs of heat is more than enough to handle standard family cooking.The E-310 doesn’t have a vast amount of features, but it does have two side tables, six tool hooks, a below grill cabinet, and an easy-to-clean grease management system. The lid and cook box are also porcelain-enameled to make them equally corrosion resistant. The cast-iron cooking grates are porcelain-enameled for corrosion resistance and to make them non-stick. Three stainless steel burners provide 32,000 BTUs of heat, which, combined with the cooking space, is perfect for hosting a standard BBQ or everyday family grilling, but is probably going to be a little small for a grand cookout. The E-310 is the smallest of the grills on our list, with a total cooking area of 529 square inches, which combines 424 square inches of primary cooking area with a 105 square inch warming rack. Natural gas grills are far from wallet-friendly, but the Weber Spirit E-310 manages to combine a decent range of features with good build quality to make it our pick for best budget natural gas grill. The rotisserie is a nice touch but isn’t as useful as the E-435 grease management system.The other working parts only have a 5-year guarantee. The stainless steel tube burners and porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grids are the only parts of the Prestige 500 covered by a 10-year guarantee.The lightup controls are ideal for low-light conditions.The addition of stainless steel sear plates helps to vaporize drippings and control.Much like the E-435, the Prestige 500’s 48,000 BTUs of heat and 500 square inches of cooking surface means it is capable of catering for even the most well-attended cookout.

This makes it both easier and safer to use in low light conditions.

The hood of the Prestige 500 comes with an Accu-Probe temperature gauge, and one of the main selling points for the grill is that the controls are internally lit and turn from blue to red when a burner is in use. The rear burner can also be converted into a rotisserie, which, while nice, probably won’t see consistent use. In terms of features, the 14,000 BTU infrared side burner for searing and an 18,000 BTU rear infrared burner. This adds to the moistness of the food and helps to control flare-ups. Under the cooking grids are a set of stainless steel sear plates that help to vaporize drippings. The stainless steel wave cooking grids allow for excellent heat retention and add in sear lines. The Prestige 500 has four stainless steel tube burners that provide up to 48,000 BTUs of heat and 500 square inches of cooking surface supplemented by a 260 square inch warming area. The two grills are comparable in quality, but the Prestige 500 has a slightly different set of features that are less universally useful than those on the E-435 The Napoleon Prestige 500 comes in a close second on our list to the Genesis II E-435. Some customers complain that the wide side and back openings in the cabinet and at both sides of the grill chamber make it easy for wild animals to access the interior of the grill.The assembly can be both complicated and time-consuming.The porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates have great heat retention and are non-stick.Features like the fold-out warming rack, searing station, and the grease management system make cooking and cleaning much easier.With a combined output of 69,000 BTUs and 844 square inches of cooking surface, the E-435 has both the power and space to cook up a tremendous amount of food.Weber’s 10-year warranty covers the whole package.

This includes the fold-out warming rack to let you cook in stages without food going cold.Īssembling the Genesis II is an easy task made all the more simple by the 3D interactive assembly instructions available through the free BILT app. The E-435 has up to 844 square inches of cooking surface, more than enough to cook a family’s worth of food. The after-grilling clean-down is also made easier by Weber’s grease management system. To use that massive amount of heat to its best advantage, the E-435 comes with porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates to provide both superior heat retention and easier cleanup. There’s also a more budget-friendly E-335 version of the Genesis II that comes with three burners at a reduced cost. The four high-performance burners mounted on the E-435, in combination with the side burner and searing station, deliver a total of 69,000 BTUs of heat. We’ve chosen the Weber‘s Genesis II (E-435 model) as our best overall natural gas grill because of its outstanding combination of fantastic features and excellent build quality.
