The cast iron cooking grills in your Genesis II LX are
porcelain coated to make them rust resistant, so
there’s no need to season them before use.
Flavorizer
®
bars
The Flavorizer bars rest under the cooking grills
of your Genesis II LX, and they’re responsible for
the barbecue smoke that gives your food that
unique Weber flavour. These angled bars sit above
the burners of your barbecue, meaning they get
incredibly hot when you’re cooking. As meat
juices and fat comes away from your food on the
grill above, it drops onto the hot Flavorizer bars.
There it sizzles and smoulders, creating all that
wonderful barbecue smoke.
The Flavorizer bars also prevent fat dropping from
your food into the lit burners below. That means
you can cook almost anything on the grill with
minimal chance of any unwanted flare ups.
Burner tubes
The burner tubes in your new Genesis II LX are
responsible for delivering the heat for cooking.
They probably look a little different to any you’ve
seen on a barbecue before. That’s because the
burner tube design has been reimagined to ensure
incredibly even cooking performance across the
entire surface of your barbecue for years on end.
As the stainless steel burner tubes are tapered,
they deliver perfectly even gas pressure to every
burner port along the top of the tube, creating an
amazingly even heat. And because the burner
ports are extruded, the fat, grease and dirt won’t
find their way in to cause blockages and uneven
heat, even after years of use.
Cleaning system
As excess fat and juices drop safely from the
Flavorizer bars and past the burners, they’re
collected in the clever Weber Genesis II LX
cleaning system. You may have seen barbecues
with sand traps, fat soakers or lava rocks before,
but your Genesis II LX is different. The removable,
sloped tray guides fat and juices from cooking
down into a disposable aluminium pan. And when
the drip pan is full, it’s as easy as disposing of the
contents and replacing the used pan with a new
one. For anything solid that doesn’t make it to
the aluminium pan, the sloped tray can be easily
removed, and because it is porcelain enamel
coated, it’s easy to clean too.
The porcelain enamel lid
Under the Weber® lid is where all the magic
happens. You’ll discover that cooking with the
lid closed means that food cooks more quickly
and evenly than you could ever hope for on a
traditional, open top barbecue.
You’ll soon find that it’s far more efficient too –
you’ll save gas and money as the heat is kept in
and circulated all around your food.
But best of all, cooking with the lid down is the
only way to get that famous Weber flavour when
barbecuing.
The lid on your Genesis II LX is high quality steel,
sealed in gleaming porcelain enamel, so it won’t
rust, peel, burn or scratch for years and years.
The GS4
™
Cooking system
The GS4 cooking system is what brings your
Genesis II LX to life. It brings together the ignition,
cooking grills, Flavorizer® bars, burner tubes and
the cleaning system to create the ultimate, reliable
and easy-to-use barbecue cooking system. Here’s
how the system works:
Infinity
TM
ignition
The Infinity electronic ignition system is designed
to fire up your Genesis II LX first time, every
time. When the Genesis II LX ignition system was
designed, every component was reviewed with
one question in mind – how can this system be
made more consistent and reliable? The result is
Infinity ignition. This electronic ignition system
delivers a battery powered, repeating spark to
start your barbecue. Simply turn the gas control
knob on to the ‘ignition’ setting and you’re away.
The Genesis II LX ignition system is so reliable that
it is guaranteed for life.
Cooking grills
The cast iron cooking grills give you an ideal surface
for cooking. The cast iron retains and conducts
heat evenly, so you’ll get beautifully seared and
evenly cooked food across the entire cooking area.
We recommend that you cook everything you can,
with the exception of very fatty meat, directly
on the grill. Save the hotplate supplied with your
barbecue for things like eggs, pancakes and onion
rings. By cooking on the grills, your food will be
healthier and you’ll produce better flavour, as fat
and meat juices fall onto the hot Flavorizer bars
below.
