THE GS4 GRILLING SYSTEM
The GS4 High Performance Grilling System sets a new standard in the world of backyard cuisine, and lands the GENESISII
and GENESIS II LX series of gas grills in a class of their own. Thisinnovative grilling system is based on over 30 years of
grilling experience, culinary expertise, and most importantly, avidly considering the wants and needs of the people who
matter most – thegrilling community.
Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for ease-of-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard
grilling experience. Promising burners that are ensured to ignite every time, smoke infused food that grills evenly and
consistently regardless of where it’s placed on the cooking grate, and hassle free cleanup; you are able to focus on what it’s
Product Features
is all about – bringing people together around the grill.
The GS4 grilling system is composed of four key components: The Infinity Ignition, HighPerformance Burners, FLAVORIZER
BARS, and Grease Management System. These components ensure that every aspect of your grilling experience is easy and
reliable; from the moment the burners are lit to the general maintenance of your grill. Andtogether, create the strongest
grilling engine within every GENESIS II and GENESIS II LX grill.
1 INFINITY Ignition
The Infinity Ignition is ensured to ignite every
time. Backed by a generous warranty, rest
assured that you’ll be up-and-grilling the first
time, every time.
2 High Performance Burners
The unique, tapered shape delivers a consistent
gas flow from front to back. This provides
ultimate heat distribution, ensuring that food
grills evenly and consistently anywhere on the
cooking grate.
3 FLAVORIZER BARS
The classic WEBER FLAVORIZER BARS are
angled just right to catch drippings that smoke
and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky flavor
that we all know and love to your food. Any
drippings not vaporized follow the slope and are
funneled away from the burners, down into the
grease management system.
4 Grease Management System
The grease management system helps with
the removal of grease while reducing the risk
of flare-ups. Drippings that are not vaporized
by the FLAVORIZER BARS are funneled away
from the burners into the disposable drip tray,
located within the catch pan under the cookbox.
Simply remove the catch pan and replace the
drip tray as needed.

MEDIUM
Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take
less than 20 minutes to cook, suchas: hamburgers, steaks,
chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and
slicedvegetables.
With direct heat, the fire is right below the food. It sears the
surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious
caramelization while cooking the food all the way to thecenter.

REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20
minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that
direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them,
such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish
fillets, whole chickens, turkeys, and ribs. Indirect heat can also
be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been
seared or browned first over direct heat.
With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill, or o
to one side of the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the
cooking grate.
GrillingDo’s
andDon’ts
Tips and Hints
Preheat each and every time.
If the cooking grates aren’t hot enough, food
will stick, and you will likely never have a
chance of searing properly or developing
those handsome grill marks. Even if a recipe
calls for medium or low heat, always preheat
the grill on the highest setting first. Open the
lid, turn up the heat, close the lid, and then
let the cooking grate heat up for about ten
minutes or until the lid thermometer reads
500° F (260° C).
Don't grill on dirty grates.
Tossing food onto the cooking grates before
they have been cleaned is never a good idea.
Leftover “stu” on the grates acts like glue,
binding it to the grates and your new food.
To avoid tasting last night’s dinner on today’s
lunch, make sure you are grilling on a clean
cooking grate. Once the grates are preheated,
use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to
make a clean, smooth surface.
Be present in the process.
Before firing up your grill, make sure that
everything you need is within arm’s reach.
Don’t forget your essential grilling tools,
already oiled and seasoned food, glazes or
sauces, and clean cooking platters for cooked
food. Having to run back to your kitchen not
only means missing out on the fun, but could
also result in burning your food. French chefs
call this “mise en place” (meaning, “put in
place”). We call it “being present”.
Create a little elbow room.
Packing too much food onto the cooking
grates restricts your flexibility. Leave at least
one-quarter of the cooking grates clear, with
plenty of space between each food item, in
order to get your tongs in there and easily
move the food around. Sometimes grilling
involves split-second decisions and the ability
to jockey food from one area to another.
Sogive yourself enough room to operate.
Try not to peek.
The lid on your grill is for more than just
keeping the rain out. Most importantly, it’s for
preventing too much air from getting in, and
too much heat and smoke from getting out.
When the lid is closed, the cooking grates are
hotter, the grilling times are faster, the smoky
tastes are stronger, and the flare-ups are
fewer. So put a lid on it!
Only flip once.
What’s better than a juicy steak with a deep
sear and plenty of beautifully caramelized
bits? The key to accomplishing these results
is to keep your food in place. Sometimes we
have the tendency to flip our food before it
reaches the desirable level of color and flavor.
In nearly all cases, you should turn food just
once. If fiddling with it more than that, you are
probably also opening the lid too much, which
causes its own set of problems. So step back
and trust the grill.

Know when to tame the flame.
When grilling, sometimes the most important
thing to know is when to stop. The most
reliable way to test doneness of your food
is to invest in an instant-read thermometer.
This slim little gem will help you pinpoint that
critical moment when your food is at its best.
Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Back in the 1950s, grilling meant one thing:
meat (and only meat) charred over open
flames. The modern day backyard chef
doesn’t need a kitchen in order to prepare a
full course meal. Use your grill to make chargrilled appetizers, sides, and even desserts.
Register your grill to receive special content
that will inspire you along the way. We’d love
to join you on your grilling adventures.
