Compared with my old (2005) Genesis Silver, it’s a big upgrade in every feature that I’ve experienced so far. I especially like how it holds heat in windy or chilly weather, which makes it’s results much more consistent.

I also like that it has more powerful burners, the sear station with the optional searing grate, and the expanded upper tier rack, which is especially good for cooking corn on the cob or heating buns.

One disappointment is that I can’t get the special smoker box which only comes with the S 330 I A. I would have bought that grill,  but I want the stainless steel lid and doors because my grill will live outside. I also wish the S 335 would have been available without the side burner, which I’ll probably never use.
