Product Features

T HE GS 4 GRIL L ING SYS T EM

The GS4 High Performance Grilling System sets a new standard in the world of backyard cuisine, and lands the GENESIS II and GENESIS II LX series of gas grills in a class of their own. This innovative 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 – the grilling 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 is all about – bringing people together around the grill.

The GS4 grilling system is composed of four key components: The Infinity Ignition, High Performance 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. And together, 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		3
drippings not vaporized follow the slope and are
funneled away from the burners, down into the
grease management system.	1	2
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.		4
Simply remove the catch pan and replace the

drip tray as needed.

B Built-In Thermometer

Being aware of the temperature inside of your grill allows you to adjust the heat when needed.

C Porcelain-Enameled, Cast Iron Cooking Grates

The reversible cooking grates empower you to be even more creative with your dish. The thin side of the cooking grate is ideal for delicate food such as fish and shrimp, while the wider side creates a thick sear mark enhancing the flavor of your food.

(S-310, SE-310, SE-410 equipped with stainless steel grates)

E iGRILL 3 Ready

Once you’ve downloaded the WEBER iGRILL app, connect the iGRILL 3 to Bluetooth, and run up to four thermometer probes from your grill to the food. (Sold separately.)

F Fuel Gauge

Always know where you stand. The easy-to-read fuel gauge located next to the gas tank lets you see how much fuel is left in your tank at all times. Rest assured knowing that you will not run out of gas halfway through your next grilling experience.

G Easy Access Gas Tank Storage

Mounting the gas tank to the outside of the grill makes the tank easy to access and remove; while also increasing storage space in the cart.

H Open Cart Design

The sleek open-cart design provides additional room and accessibility of your grilling tools.

Tips and Hints

The Flame -

Direct or Indirect

OFF

START/HIGH	LOW
MEDIUM
DIRECT HEAT	INDIRECT HEAT
S E T U P	S E T U P
	OFF

HIGH

MEDIUM

Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables.

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 the center.

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 off to one side of the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on the cooking grate.

6	REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT

Grilling Do’s

and Don’ts

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 “stuff” 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.

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.

So give 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.

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.

Hints and Tips

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”.
