Weber Gas Grills
Natural gas and propane grills are some of our most popular offerings, and Weber has a number of grills in this segment that run the gamut from traditional to next-generation. Check out our breakdown of each of these grill series to see which might work best for you.
GENESIS Series
A cornerstone of Weber’s lineup, the Genesis Series strikes a balance between performance, versatility, and everyday usability. Available in both 3-burner and 4-burner configurations, these grills are designed to handle everything from quick weeknight meals to larger gatherings with ease. The Genesis series continues to stand out for its combination of modern features and dependable grilling performance.
At the core of the Genesis lineup are Weber’s PureBlu burners, engineered for even heat distribution and reliable ignition across the entire cooking surface. An extra-large sear zone delivers the high heat needed for bold, restaurant-quality grill marks, while the expandable upper cooking grate adds flexibility for warming or toasting. Many models also include a side burner for preparing sauces and sides, along with compatibility for the Weber CRAFTED cooking system, allowing you to incorporate accessories like griddles, woks, and more.
Designed with convenience in mind, the Genesis series features an improved grease management system for easier cleanup, integrated tool hooks to keep essentials within reach, and smooth-rolling casters for mobility. For those looking to add smart functionality, select models offer compatibility with Weber Connect technology, enabling real-time temperature monitoring and guided cooking from your smartphone. Altogether, the Genesis Series delivers a well-rounded grilling experience that blends innovation with everyday practicality.
Summit Series
The Summit Series represents the top tier of Weber’s gas grill lineup, built for those who want a true outdoor kitchen experience with maximum performance and versatility.

It’s a step up not just in size, but in capability, making it ideal for serious grillers or those who frequently cook for a crowd.
What sets the Summit Series apart is its focus on multi-functional cooking. Features like the top-down infrared broiler allow for intense, edge-to-edge searing, while the integrated rotisserie system makes it easy to cook whole chickens or large roasts evenly. A built-in smoker box adds the ability to infuse food with rich, wood-fired flavor, and the side burner gives you space to handle sauces and sides without leaving the grill. Many models also include the WEBER CRAFTED cooking system, which expands your setup with interchangeable accessories like griddles, pizza stones, and more.
Beyond performance, the Summit Series is designed for convenience and durability. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability, while spacious storage cabinets and side shelves keep tools and accessories within reach.

Jumbo Joe Portable Charcoal Grill
If you’re looking for a portable grill that offers a bit more room without stepping up to a full-size kettle, the Jumbo Joe is a strong middle ground.

Despite its size, the Smokey Joe Premium is built with the same attention to durability and performance as Weber’s larger grills. The porcelain-enameled lid and bowl help retain heat while resisting rust and wear, and adjustable dampers give you control over temperature throughout the cook. A plated steel cooking grate provides even heat distribution, while the Tuck-N-Carry lid lock doubles as a lid holder, making transport and setup simple wherever you go.
