The 2022 Weber Genesis Grills are Advanced

— January 20, 2022 — Art & Design
The 2022 Weber Genesis Grills have been shown off by the brand to help avid outdoor chefs modernize their cooking process and enjoy some of the latest must-have technology features. The grills all feature the WEBER CONNECT functionality that will work with the user's smartphone to send them alerts related to temperature and timers, while also allowing them to monitor propane levels in the gas tank. The various grills also feature the brand's proprietary PUREBLU high-heat burners that are rated to deliver higher temperatures with even heat.

The 2022 Weber Genesis Grills are equipped with LEDs to light up the grill knobs and the storage locker in the lower section for enhanced ease of use at nighttime. The grills are set to launch in the spring of 2022.
